Probably means they have to sack of the FA Cup, it would take a monumental effort to achieve top 4, win Europa and beat Chelsea and City in the FA Cup.

I love the way Manure fans are so snobbish about the only trophies that matter are the PL and CL even though they're light years from being contenders for either.
I also like the comment from the Hull manager that their first half performance "was nowhere near good enough".

At least he didn't describe it as 'disappointing'.

The 5 subs rule being retained optionally on a per competition choice basis for next season. I can’t see any competition not using it.

There’s definitely a case for selecting players without arms.

Many fans will say that certain keepers over the years at your club would be easily replaced by someone without arms.

BARNES OUT
Actually really like the new City home kit. First one I've liked in years.

I must admit that I haven't watched much since the restart, so I'm governed by their results more than their actual performances. I did see them being outplayed at home to Burnley a couple of weeks ago, when they were pretty dire tbf. But I gather they were a bit unlucky last night.
I was chatting the other day about Palace's best ever team, so lots of talk about Taylor and Rogers from the 1970s, the better players from the 'Team of the 80s', Wright and co from the early 1990s. Throw in Budgie Byrne from the early 1960s and we were pretty much there. But of course, it's all nonsense. The current side is the one that's had the longest run in the top flight. Throw in improved fitness, technique and tactics compared to earlier generations, and the discussion ends there. In relative terms, the team that finished 3rd in 1990/91 achieved more, but the current side would probably beat them if we could access a time machine. I do find them pretty uninspiring, but I know that's not the point. And I suppose that however many relegations we've endured from the top flight means that we tend to expect another one any time soon.

Yeah you outplayed Chelsea as well. I’ve heard a bit of concern about how old the squad is, so they might drop off very suddenly in a season or two. But for now it looks to me like a very competitive side.

The EFL are going to vote next week on the start of next season. The choices are 29th August or September 12th. At present they have to vote without knowing whether fans will be allowed in or who's paying for the Covid testing. No fans + paying for their own testing = bankruptcy for many.

With Boris making a statement about the way forward for the next 9 months maybe there will be some information about fans before the vote.

Boris has said October. Given the amount of clubs that voted to end the season because they couldn't afford to finish it, I'll assume these same clubs can't afford to start it until fans are back.
Otherwise it will just look like they voted for convenience and I couldn't believe that
