Fulham were the far better side up until the penalty! Palhinha is a great player.

And McTominay is the sorriest excuse for a midfielder in the Premier League.

He has turned hiding from the ball into an art form. Its genuinely impressive how few touches he consistently manages to have.

Fulhum could possibly kiss goodbye to any chance of European football now. Mitrovic gone for a minimum of 3 games and might get more given he got the red for touching the ref

Despite their high league position this season, imo a cup was their only real hope of getting into Europe this season.

For the stats/xG etc indicate that their results have been "better" than trheir actual performances have merited, especially early on. It is very difficult to maintain that for a whole season, meaning I think they'll do well to finish top half of the table - maybe 10th?

As per above, Mitro scored 9 goals in his first 13 PL appearances, but only 2 in the 16 games since. Tbf, he's had injuries and suspensions as the season has worn on, but it may also be the case that PL defences have worked him out by now?

While his squad back-up, Vinicius (2 goals in 18 PL appearances) simply isn't good enough for a PL team with serious ambitions, as was seen durinhg his previous loan spell at Spurs.

Quintessential flat-track bully. His two goals against Ireland in March 2021 are an encapsulation of what he does. Our defence was ropey that night, and our keeper had a bit of a mare. To the naked eye, the goals themselves looked pretty good, but against a robust defence he scores neither of those goals. I was surprised he was as prolific as he was this season, and his career has revolved around scoring a handful of PL goals, before dropping to the Championship and tearing it up, and coming back up.

This is rubbish.

1 in 9 under Scott Parker

1 in 3 under Ranieri and Benitez

1 in 2 under Silva

And his international stats speak for themselves

Statistics aided and abetted by his prolific nature in the Championship. I think he has something like 80 goals in that league.

They are based off premier league stats LOL

When he's fit and used correctly, he's more than enough quality for the premier league.

Charged with Violent and Improper Conduct by the FA. 6-8 Match ban I reckon

Pretty sh*t match....the broadcasters and publicans got the final they wanted. Should be a good day out in the lash...

" BFC always gives me a laugh........ "

An all Manchester final who'd have thought.

Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world

Some say the two keepers are still there trying to save a penalty
