Football is fucked up the arse.

Probably because of the rainbow laces.

[Niall_Quinn]

BUT! Our worst enemy here is ourselves. Low tempo means few chances, less pressure on the opponent. It's an equaliser for lesser teams. Why we don't play at a higher pace I just don't know. We're more than capable.

[Master Splinter]

That excuse has been overused. We've had 1 shot on target all game. 1 shot.

And they would be down to ten with no goals if it was refereed properly. Just because we haven't played that well doesn't absolve them of pathetic officiating. Does playing well mean you get better referees?

Responding with "it's an excuse" every time someone points out someone failing to do their job in a professionsal manner is also overused.

[Mac76]

let's not be too partially-sighted about this, it was a stupid tackle and if it was a Palace player on one of ours we'd all be calling it a red

either way we're now without Auba for three games which means any hope of top four is gone bar Laca remembering how to score a goal

[Niall_Quinn]

Is a straight (or in this case totally gay) red still a 2 match ban?

[Mac76]

Xhaka takes a crap shot then fouls Zaha - -what a player

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is a straight (or in this case totally gay) red still a 2 match ban?

Three if it's for dangerous play, which is what this will be classed as.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is VAR about to fuck us again?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sokratis clears off the line, blatant cheating from Palace.
