Looked to me like Henderson was off his line for the penalty save. Dunno why they didn't scrutinise that in HT analysis, or at any stage so far. (Well, I was on ITV, maybe BBC did.)

I went to empty my bladder at HT, but I don’t think the BBC mentioned it. Like you, RR, I thought he was a bit off his line, but his movement was more sideways, really. The BBC were more interested in dropping in references to the pundits’ cup final appearances, of course. Some things never change.

the citeh cnut bought that penalty even before the palarse player fairly took the ball (I think it used be called a ‘tackle’ back in the day)….so who cares?

Never a CP fan, but what a great day for them.

Yeah. Being a long time London based RFC fan Palace and Brentford are the two teams I have any time for. Proper clubs. Decent fans.

Not sure about the phrase “took the ball” but yes indeed, it was clearly a dive as well, BEFORE contact was made. Not sure whether that negates the penalty call or not tbh, probably not.

Didn’t care about the result either way myself, just highlighting what looked to be another VAR cock-up to me.

I see that City fans are saying Palace cheated. How many offences are City charged with?

Agreed. The English implementation of VAR is a complete joke and run by incompetents. Laughing stock again…

Fairy tale ending to Jamie Vardys’ Leicester career today, 200th goal scored (in 500 appearances)….not a bad return from a £1million investment from lowly Fleetwood Town

I think he was ok, you only have to have one foot on the line don't you?

He should have been sent off though. I mean, I know Haaland is a bit out of form but he's still more than likely to score into an open goal from no wider than the edge of the 6 yard box than miss.

Another “on the beach” performance and line up from Liverpool. Nest up Palace and no doubt Slot will want to see the likes of Guehi, Wharton and Eze etc. put in a performance, for summer consideration, so expecting the same again in the final game.

for final day excitement I guess we want Man City to draw tonight so that 3 teams go into the last games on the same points and with only 4GD separating them, meaning there will be thoughts around how many a team needs to win by to get into the top 5

after tonight's Man City game I would like to see some top 7 predictions from the General Football crew too!

I don't think Slot will allow an on the beach performance in the last home game of the season.

Palace will definitely be on the beach (and, depending on tonight's results, quite probably won't be able to gain or lose a position in the table) so I'm expecting Liverpool to give them a bit of a hiding.

yeah I have gone for 3-0 in my super 6 prediction. ones of those rare games where a team could lose 5-0 and it would essentially be meaningless and their supporters won't really care.

Trent looking sulky after the Brighton game last night. Slot took him to the game as a sub and then brought Endo on at right-back. :o :lol:
