@JamieSmithSport I have no skin in this game, but that was fucking awful from Hartman for both goals. That's poor defending at the foot of county leagues, just criminal at this level. The least 'Burnley' defending I've ever seen.

Three fine finishes but Hartman lazy for the last two. Just can't be arsed to close down his man. No point getting an assist then being at fault for two goals at the other end #twitterclarets

@chrisprodromou @talkSPORT If you say AEK to me, I think AEK Athens? That would seem the same as referring to Blackburn as just Rovers? At least Larnaca gives some clue as to who it is, given that I presume the other eight clubs clubs in Larnaca aren't in the last 16 of the Conference League?

Hey @talkSPORT why are all your journalists absolute retards . All refer to Crystal Palace opponents in Europe as Larnaca . There are NINE teams in Larnaca. It’s AEK . Would you refer to city or united as Manchester

@126scratch Nice one, a nice companion for Dracula Hunter.

@Larrry_Summers @baxterparp @SPFLWatch I don't give a shit about the MLS or the SPFL, in that respect they are equal. They are both poor leagues on a worldwide scale. So when deciding which is of a better quality all I can do is use my eyes because the statistics are just not there to drive a conclusion either way.

@Larrry_Summers @baxterparp @SPFLWatch It's not case of dislike, the comparisons between leagues across confederations are not statistically sound, they cannot possibly be because there is barely any data to analyse. It would be like doing xG calculations from 25 shots in one game instead of a million over 20 yrs.

Of all the games you could possibly pick

@Larrry_Summers @baxterparp @SPFLWatch There he goes again, quoting made up figures from 'analytics' sites to make up for a complete lack of knowledge. Even if squad value could be quantified it has very little correlation with ability due to many systemic and economic factors. MLS teams don't even own their players.

@ArlasoftRetro @baxterparp @SPFLWatch Maybe one day you’ll crack the top 20 😂 16.7 million euro average squad value vs. 50 million. Not even close mate

@Larrry_Summers @baxterparp @SPFLWatch What information is that, then? All they have access to for the purpose of ranking football teams is the final results of matches. That's something we all have access to. Stop talking shit about stuff you know fuck all about.

@ArlasoftRetro @baxterparp @SPFLWatch Idk mate I don’t run the analytics - but I do know they have access to better information than you. Cheers

@mikinrin90 @SPFLWatch Which is still better than MLS.

@SPFLWatch It really is ass. Never forget Derek Adams quote. Practically said that mid table scot premiership is same level as mid table league 2

@Larrry_Summers @baxterparp @SPFLWatch What 'data' do you think they are using to compare leagues? Their rankings are based on ELO, which is only any good if all the teams involved regularly play each other. If they don't, it's complete guesswork as there's so few competitive matches between MLS and European teams.

@baxterparp @SPFLWatch I don’t, tech companies like Opta can do that for us. Using data. Not feelings.

@Klaus10506 @celticfcfinance @tombogert What the fuck has Opta got to do with anything? The only way to compare teams from different leagues is for them to play each other. Football isn't played on paper or in a database. Opta is arbitrary nonsense, especially between different confederations where ELO data is scarce.

@celticfcfinance @tombogert "Celtic and top 6 SPFL would beat most MLS teams" opta would highly disagree with that, you're living in fantasy land

I’ve successfully avoided most rage bait here but calling MLS “non competitive” in relation to a league that literally only two teams have won SINCE 1985 is hilarious

@heat_ball @hd3thegoat @chaz8654 @GroBmisconduct2 Battered both Strasbourg and Larnaca, just didn't put the ball in the net when multiple chances came and got sucker punched. That's how football goes sometimes. Not a bad season so far for a such a small squad, still in every competition.

@hd3thegoat @chaz8654 @GroBmisconduct2 Look at the teams you put out when you lost to Strasbourg and Larnaca 😭😭 Genuinely embarrassing stuff

Surely this is the most embarrassing European campaign by an English club in history, don't see it ever getting beaten either

@El_Vim_Fuego @CPFCHQ The young left-back did more in the first 15 minutes than he's done since joining. Baffles me why Sosa takes all the set-pieces when he's on the field, neither his shots or crosses are anything special. I think people see a left foot and automatically think it must be a wand...

@CPFCHQ Sosa is supposed to be good isn’t he?

Shocker of a result. Oh well. Young lads done well, let down by first team players. #CPFC

@DanW2Capital @chrislepkowski Is the league really that good? Crystal Palace, with a squad size of 7 that have played 90 games before Christmas, are fifth despite throwing eleven points away against Everton, Utd, Bournemouth & City, fluffing absolute sitters that were harder to miss. If they could finish...

In the modern era there's definitely a case for it. People mentioning the 60's, 70's, and 80's, yes it's valid those teams got promoted and had huge success. But the gap in quality, the amount of money spent, the competitiveness was totally different, you can't compare it. A good team could get promoted in the 80's and win Division one the year after - that just doesn't happen now for the reasons mentioned above. If you can't see that... well... I don't know what to say.

No. Ipswich, 61. Promoted. Won the league in 62. Forest, 77. Promoted. Won the league in 78. Watford. 82. Promoted. Runners-up in 83. Just Google this stuff, ffs. It is easily accessible.

@shave_stuart @TheManOnGuitar You wouldn't be concerned if your boss told you to stay at home for a week while they give a potential replacement a go? Not exactly good news, is it?

@TheManOnGuitar Not sure he says he’s been sacked . Just sounds like they might be trying something different over the next couple of games?

what good could possibly come of this. like what could possibly have motivated sacking the guy who has been the voice of our ground for so many years

@GilesyL14 Exactly, what a missed opportunity to be even higher. If they had some energy left to shoot straight they'd be second. Despite being 5th, 9-10 extra points have been chucked down the drain through having the smallest squad since Aston Villa 1980-81.

We are fucking 5th btw. #cpfc

@mozzerjnr @Glen_1903 @shanehagan24 Quite. If Aberdeen played in England they wouldn't be anywhere near European football either, be lucky to survive in League One.

@Glen_1903 @shanehagan24 Strange opinion from an Aberdeen fan

Why is the Brighton stadium empty every week? Only holds about 28k home fans, they've spent a good 300 million in 2 years, had European football, play brilliant football, and their fans just don't care. Strange.

@SACnQuack @VentsLFCx No it's not, especially a game so ill-suited to the engine, but any Unity/C# dev worth their salt would have told them their plan to switch at FM25 was absolutely bonkers, as was FM26 if they'd aimed for that from the start. They made all the big claims and didn't back them up.

@VentsLFCx To all the people replying to this. Yes I know it was a 2 year wait. You have to understand that developing for Unity is NOT as easy as you think. I for one am more than willing to give them a chance over the course of the season to rectify etc.

its funny because how can you give up on this game when the unity engine allows things like this, this year will be off, but FM27 with old things added back and these modders having completely figured out the engine will be genuinely the greatest game ever

@evercoys @zoeycyberkitty @StokeyyG2 50% is a lot better than the odds of a struggling team completing enough consecutive passes to get the ball that high up the pitch. Bad teams that play out from the back is the scourge of modern football, conceding far more goals as a result than they'll ever score.

Neymar ran across the entire half of the pitch to stop his club Santos taking long goal-kicks, he then passed it to his defender and the defender booted it long…😅 He was then taken off in the 85th minute to boos as Santos sit 17th in the league.

@flishy3 @Sumo08112 Congratulations on winning today's 'worst take on the internet' award.

@Sumo08112 Probably because a big chunk of fans who support clubs in london, bar chelsea, are colested arsenal fans

Why is a "Palace" account doing deep dives on Arsenal

@Nidw345 @SometimesClutch @yungrems @Nick_Newman To be fair they're too busy having employees who don't want to work 31 hours a day lined up against a wall and shot.

GTA VI being the most-hyped media release of all time is funny. It's gonna be the missions they've had for 25 years (chase down someone who owes you money, rob somebody else, fly a helicopter) while a radio broadcast goes "I got my son vaccinated... and now he's GAY?"
