    Don't know what all this negativity is about, I didn't realize this is the last time well have to deal with Atkinson. Talk about silver lining!

    In fairness, neither are most of the other 10 on the pitch. :wenger:
    Not in a million years ! We should be playing Ganaucho we need to win really can’t be bothered watching we will just have to climb from the absolute bottom and hope the owners finally do one!

    Depressing league campaign right up to the final game. Former player with the goal and likely sending United to the conference league.

    I have to say there would be some poetic justice to us finishing 7th.

    Another goal conceded and we’ll have a negative goal difference- first time in over 30 years…

    The spine of our team, the combination of CB partnership and 2 midfield partnership in front of them is mid table at best and perhaps the weakest in the league on a bad day. They dont know how to keep it simple and effective and weather a spell when the opponents are looking dangerous. Poor touches, poor choices and consistency of passing and no organization between the players making sure they're all on the same page.

    We could have the best fullbacks in the world and the best striker in the world and it wouldnt take such a poor spine into title contention.

    We need at least 2 of those 4 players changed

    I don’t think Hannibal has been bad. He’s at least shown some movement and tried to get on the ball across the pitch.

    Conference league will be ok. We can play the youngsters with absolutely nothing to loose whilst keeping the first team fresh for the domestic league and cups.

    Better to grow numb to it all, better for the psyche.
    That's the problem, I'm not shocked by it. We haven't been a top team for almost a decade now. But this is something else entirely. There's absolutely no respect for the club coming from this shitshow, and that's what makes me furious.

    How are you supposed to get a goal, when we can't get the ball forward enough. Ronny is the only one who could get us a goal, where the feck is he? Seems Ralph had picked this squad today to lose its not good enough to get a win so far.

    The way we've been playing in this match we're lucky to even be in the Conference League. The entire season we've been monumentally shite but this is the last game of the season ffs and nobody on the pitch seems to give a damn. feck them. Bunch of wasters.
    They have turned you into a moany basterd. :(

    Unless it turns out that Rangnick has been shouting at them every second and calling them idiots, and just before this match he strangled a kitten in front of them, these players have absolutely no fecking right to be playing like this.

    Get the shirts off them, tell them to feck off, boo them every second that they remain here. feck them, I really fecking hate them so much.
    He must've killed a lot of kittens this season.

    It’s one thing to miss a pass in attack, but quite another for Bruno to send that ball where he did — deep into Palace’s Zone 14. A truly shocking decision.

    :lol: how is that de geas fault are you even watching?!
    Did you read what I wrote. never said it was his fault - I said he's forgotten how to keep a clean sheet and that can be hard to change. Just look how many goals he's conceded this season and he's not been great in the past 3-4 seeks. Henderson has had exactly no games

    Losing against Palace, and Pep is doing what Pep does. Not a pleasant end to the season.

    It's just a horrendous mess out there. Players look devoid of confidence, our midfield cant pass, dalot can't attack or defend. Lindelof being bullied by Zaha, Cavani barely a threat upfront. Bruno gifting the ball away time and time again.

    Don't really blame Hannibal/Elanga our there as they aren't the ones that should have to carry this sorry bunch of shites.

    Nobody expect us to win but to see a brain fart by Bruno to give Palace the lead. It is just a joke to me, this is not the first time Bruno did something like this. I think he is the most valuable of this lot, I would entertain any offer to recoup our money. I hope ETH open his eyes wide and see McTominay jogging back when Palace is attacking, no urgency because he knows he got no pace?! Elanga is not ready XI, he needs at least 2 season on loan. Dalot and Telles are pure awful. Forget about giving these players any chance.

    I was originally part of the "play all of the youth for the last few games" crowd, but I'm really undecided on this now. Is it quite damaging to them to throw them in along with all of the other shite we have? I've gone back and forth on it quite a bit, mostly because I'm just tired of watching our 'regulars' mess it up every time.

    I would argue 3 of the 4. Fred is serviceable

    We don't even deserve the conference with passes like that from Fred near the end. 50m on Fred, 50m AWB, 80m Maguire, 40m on Donny. 220m

    We both know that I've always been a moany bastard. But I used to be a moany bastard that supported a team with players that cared when they were playing badly.

    It's been a pretty even game so far so think we are a little unlucky to be behind, however we will need to do much better in the 2nd half to get back in it. Hope to see Garnacho at some point though if we can.

    I felt like the goal summed this teams attitude up.

    All of Lindelof, Dalot and DDG looked like they thought "feck it, they can't blame me if this shot goes in". No intensity in the defending and all quick to look in Bruno's direction after it went in.
