Grief can do strange things to people and it's even more telling when times get hard. I'm not going to dismiss his death has rocked them a little.

Technically, he is British. Shame he picked France instead though as he really does look a talent.

Keep forgetting Frank went there. I expected Brentford to struggle having lost him and some of their better players but they seem pretty comfortable whilst Spurs are still... Spursy

They had been after him all window but Palace held firm. Unfortunately though he wasn't their number one priority, Isak was. It was a very odd window for them when you look at it. They bought a player Newcastle wanted in Ekitike - had they not done this, the Isak transfer may have gone through sooner. They sold a very solid performer in Diaz. Continued in their quest for Isak, knowing they won't be playing two up top, rendering the Ekitike signing useless. Palace told them to F off at the last minute for Guhehi. I think they believed this move would go ahead, no matter what. Hence why they just kept toying with Palace.

Did they buy Isak from Wish? Absolutely shocking transfer so far, chased him all summer, spent an absolute bomb on him and he's, well... So far bombed. Still surprised they let that Luis Diaz goz thought he was a brilliant player.

I think there is a penalty to pay unless mutual. At the end of the day the parent club has financed based on said player out at another club who are paying X wages. Can't see them wanting to take that fee back on unless they either a) want the player for their first time or b) can find a similar or better offer elsewhere

If it's a season long loan the parent club has to agree to them returning, I think. The younger ones will probably go back, I assume Vila for example would rather Barry be playing. Godfrey not so simple. His parent club (Everton?) will probably weigh up the financial side of it. If there's no other likely suitors willing to pay the same wage for him.

Would look a lot better if the chimneys weren't so tall, in my opinion. Retractable roof and moveable pitch suggests they will be aiming for the big stadium tours from musicians and possibly NFL games.

Not sure I really want to wish a serious injury on any player. Bit harsh in my opinion.

Pressure is on them more than it is us, but a victory will bring bragging rights for either team and rightly so. However, it won't "hurt" us as much as it would them, if we were to win.

Probably something about Ruben Selles.

Do we think Bellingham did enough to cement his place as a starter last night? I didn't watch it all but didn't really see much from him, but also didn't see much from anyone until the changes came later on.

Ogbene taken off whilst on international duty, possible hamstring injury. Comments from socials from their own fans "good, he's done nothing" Proper scummy fans

I know we made 7 changes but this is a proper bore fest.

Portugal won 9-1 without Ronaldo. I feel Ronny may be their weak link
