Wonder if he uses the same tattooist as his mate Rodon
Well done Hull. 
Just a pity that Twaty McTwatface got the winner.
At least we won't have to face the muppet next season. Unless of course they upgrade and ship him back to the Championship - highly likely.

Cheers chaps, went on Friday and back earlier today, a great weekend. Boro fans were classy in defeat. 
An interesting pairing.
Another documentary in the making?

I can imagine Zlatan starting something and Fury finishing it.
Good on Palace 
cracking win for them tonight.
Setting the standards for us to emulate in 2 or 3 years time

Would swansea appeal to Tyson Fury given his ring nickname 
Hate penalties deciding a cup competition. Agree? Never used to have them back in the day.
What's the alternative? Next goal the winner? Could be playing for hours and not good for the health of already overworked players
The circus is over - now onto the next circus in Trumpland. Where has the soul of football gone?
Bit of a Grinch when it comes to all the razzamatazz, but I can't wait for the domestic League football that I was brought up on to restart again.

Overworked? My arse!!!
They are paid millions at Prem level so a bit more playing time won't hurt them. Added to which their health levels are highly monitored and there are between 9 and 11 players on the bench depending on the competition.
I don't know what the right answer is but there has to be a way of determining finals one way or another.
But it's not is it? You, we were brought up that the best two teams over a season would rightfully be promoted. Now a team can pretty much spend its season in midtable and by winning its last two or three games find itself in the Premier league, probably ill equipped and doomed to a season of failure, with handsome rewards
Very true...............but I'm sure you get where I'm coming from. The overblown spectacles of today's "elite" game leaves me cold.
Nothing to do with my club not being good enough to participate - just alien to what I've been watching this past 60 years.
How about removing a player every 5 minutes in extra time until it's down to 5-6 a side, you could take your weary players off then. If all square after 120 minutes - winning goal
Rather than a straight penalty, something more akin to a game situation.
1 on 1. Play starts 40 yards out, keeper on his line. Player dribbles towards goal. He can shoot from distance, try and round the keeper, draw the keeper out and chip him. Whatever he likes.
Keeper can stand his ground, come out to narrow the angle, sprint at the attacker to panic him.
A foul by the keeper results in a penalty. Ball goes dead, or keeper secures the ball end of attack.
