      Are they all leaving palace to begin a career in stock markets?

    When Bruno unexpectedly blanks it’s going to be a painful 2hrs directly after! First time I’ve gone against robot this season!

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Haaland is capable of outscoring Bruno whatever he scores .
      But the question is will he .

      1. Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 18 days ago

        Haaland looks absolutely shattered. He won't score today. Maybe one assist but that's it.

        1. Ignasi M
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 18 days ago

    Ever since Jet5605 gave that stock market analogy, the only thing I want is an article about the stock market from him. I want him to make me the next Warren Buffett.

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 18 days ago

        The defender did not get the ball and just bundled over Mbuemo from behind. Maybe he touched the ball after all that...
