If nothing else, this thread proves that the modern world struggles to cope with anybody who doesn't fit into a pre-fabricated box. You score a goal...you'd damn well better celebrate it like everyone else does. Good heavens, we can't have someone exhibiting an individual personality. Micheal Olise is....Michael Olise. Deal with it.

My bet, looking at the bigger picture, I would compare his actions to someone on the spectrum...

If he were, he could inspire so many more... but understandable why he and the club would protect/nurture him, long as they don't set him up to fail with some interviewers.

This was once a quality forum....

It's funny, but I thought exactly this walking to work this morning and was about to post the same thing. I have family members on the spectrum one of whom plays (at a very, very amateur kids' level) and I have seen him handle memorable moments with the same indifference Olise does - then, once home after the game, bubble away in delight for hours once back in his safe environment. Not everyone is, to use the phrase, neuro-typical.

There was a report yesterday, can't remember where, that Palace have removed the release clause. No idea if that's true or even possible.

And now you know why clickbait websites exist. Because there are actually people out there who will read and swallow the utter dogs*** that they pass off as real content and this enables them to keep making money from their advertisers. I'm shocked that anyone would think this sort of rubbish was even worth repeating.

Or, as in the case of Man Utd on Wednesday, the team convenes a half-hour-long Annual General Meeting.
