Because all other angles are terrible too

That is indeed very possible

Erm. I think posting a pic on the official social media channel can be classed an actual reveal, no?

I imagine it will look better on the actual kit 

Just now, nick76 said:

Reveal, you mean the club announcing on Twitter like they did. It’s shite!

It’s not the kit though is it? It’s just the logo and branding. 

I don’t know why they picked such a terrible angle for it

Disgraceful how the club have gone about this. 

The lack of engagement was a disgrace. I’m annoyed the league allowed it with the change to the heritage rules. 

Badge looks fine. Terrible angle. Maybe just wait for the actual reveal. 

We had six off target. Palace scored 5 goals from 9 attempts. That’s football sometimes. 

Onwards and upwards. 

Gutted he didn’t score twenty

Think he would have done - otherwise why go out on loan.

24 appearances across competitions is a lot for a loan player who was best going to be 4th choice. 

5 goals from nine on target, we’ve had six shots off target. That’s football sometimes. 

Credit to him for stepping up this season - I don’t think he expected to play as much.

Sell them all. rebuild.

Please be trolling. Utterly ridiculous otherwise. 

If this game wasn’t a dead rubber we’d see a different result. The reality is we don’t need to take unnecessary risks with an under strength defence. Hope Palace enjoy their final game. 

Scored from 5 of their 6 shots on target. We’ve been unhelpfully wasteful and uncommitted defensively understandably.

Err, I don’t think being unhappy about being battered 5-0 in any context is pushing an agenda tbh 

In calling out the crap about us failing in Europe next season because of this. It’s hyperbole for the sake of it.

We finished the season off with a wonderful comeback against Liverpool and we've got eleven first teamers out injured in a game that is frankly a bit of a nuisance - something the players have to get done before they go out in London tonight - against a team that are the third best in the league at the moment on form, play well when they're confident, at their ground - the result of this matters about as much to me as Doug's next haircut - this team has been brilliant all season and they've come away with the biggest league achievement for us in forty years - I hope they enjoy the summer and I don't care if it started yesterday - well played all year boys, you've earned the day off.

 

Anyone trying to draw conclusions from this game already is trying to push an agenda. We’ve been playing productively if wasteful. Palace have taken their chances. That’s football. People are free to complain about the game. But those trying to draw wider narratives need to chill. It’s been a hard thought season. We haven’t downed tools either in this game. That’s just football sometimes. It’s been an amazing achievement all the same.

Now it's getting annoying. Next season will be our last in Europe for a while.

C’mon mate. It’s an end of season game that means nothing.

I don't care what happens today obviously but I will say defensively we have been dreadful all season. A serious weak point for us. I do hope that gets addressed over the summer/next season because we can't be shipping 60 odd goals ffs. 

Tbh, we’ve had to make do with 4/5th choice CBs and using Ezri at RB when Cash isn’t playing. It’s been far from ideal. But also a reflection of the season. Hopefully Pau will be over his fitness issues 

Game is a dead rubber. A few names on the XI won’t be here next season. Pointless to judge. 

Just want an Ollie goal

Tim not getting a start over Chambers yeah he’s finished 

Not really. It’s probably Calum’s last game for us. A thank you if anything.

Let's not gloss over the fact that he has left by mutual consent. They could have hung on to him to get some compensation. The guy is a nightmare who falls out with everybody. 

He had a clash with Tony Bloom and there was only one winner.

Had a release clause of £12.8m, which you'd think they'd try to get. Assuming De Zerbi did something to make the situation untenable however.

This if from the Sun and a few months after they qualified for the Champions League. 

There is no media conspiracy around Aston Villa. We came very close to breaching FFP and the media are reporting on it, as they did with Newcastle when their financial results were made public.

Not what I said. Again, you're pointing to a Jan 2024 article. I'm under no illusion about FFP. I was asking about the summer of 2023.

They spent a lot of time hyping them up, talk of £450m spending sprees. I never said there was a conspiracy, but there's a hierarchy of bias when it comes to teams in the league. Do you think they are going to publish stuff like this about us?

"HARRY KANE and Neymar are among the star-studded list of Newcastle's transfer targets, according to reports.

The Magpies are back in the Champions League for the first time in 20 years and can now look forward to an exciting summer of transfer recruitment."
