1-0 FT.
Tbh Palace have been unlucky in their last two games - both lost because of individual brainfarts by players (Kelly & Lee) which essentially gifted goals to the opponents. Don't think they're on the same level as Bournemouth & West Ham in terms of shit show.
That being said they still haven't scored a goal yet! That's inexcusable.
Bentenke :doh:
Our ex player Hayden is starting for Newcastle - been quite good for them from what I've heard.
Surely if you want your team to start playing "Better" football and completely change the style, acknowledging that it may take some time, then you then need to actually give the manager a chance to do it, especially if you make little in the way of signing new players who may adapt quicker than some of the oafs they have.
There must be a universal rule that footballers hairstyles are ridiculous in inverse proportion to their actual talent. Or is it simply a yoof thing?
The problem is that the PL is far too brutal & unforgiving to give a manager too long too try out new ideas. Palace simply have to turn the course otherwise it's going to be relegation for sure.Quote:

If Palace and De Boer were clever about it, they'd acknowledge that keeping the style that's been effective for them at the start is necessary instead of making any dramatic changes off the bat....... but it's about then gradually transitioning over a period of years through piecemeal bringing in the right players in successive transfer windows and slowly changing things when you know you have the leeway & safety to do i.e. (safe from relegation).
Lascelles denies Tammy with a last ditch block. :bow:
I disagree, I don't think a manager should be promoting a style of football they don't really believe in -; if you don't set your stall out at the beginning and only try to do introduce it when everybody is content and safe then what motivation is there for the players to take heed of a new style against what they've always been comfortable with? Plus I don't expect any Dutch players that grew up with Ajax to be doing anything by half measures.Quote:

Swansea 0-1 Barcodes, Lascelles!
And 0-1 FT!
The ridiculous idiot Graham Polls explains:
So dangerous play now relies upon contact being made? Or put another way, you can launch a two-footed, studs up drop kick at an opponent and if he dodges, yellow card because there's no contact. And using Poll logic, if you go for the ball and accidentally make contact, red card.Quote:
When Matt Ritchie flew in with a high boot towards Alfie Mawson you could see he was clearly worried which colour of card Mike Jones would produce — no doubt after Sadio Mane's red card the day before.
The aerial challenge was incredibly similar apart from the contact on Mawson, who should be applauded for his calm reaction to the incident.
Jones showed a yellow card, which I think was because he thought there was no contact. Had he seen contact, which was made on the Swansea player's forearm, then a red card would have had to be shown as the challenge certainly endangered the safety of Mawson.
Makes perfect sense Graham. You idiot.
Pardew is another example of football genius.
He is today saying that it was worse than the Mane incident.
I'm not quite sure how he works that out, considering Ritchie hit the players arm and Mane hit the keeper in the face :shrug:
MNF is on.
Neville has been dropped. :lol:
Carragher and Fat Sam starting.
Most football commentators only come on TV to show how thick they really are and expose their lack of knowledge of the laws of the game. Tony Cottee saying the Mane one was at most a yellow, because "He only had eyes on the ball". Its called dangerous play you berk. It has nothing to do with where Mane was looking. He certainly knew the keeper was coming but didnt back out. Endangering a fellow professional. It would have been a red any where on the pitch even if another player was trying to head the ball and he lifted his foot head height.
Its like saying you had no intention to kill someone when you were doing 80 in a 50mph zone. Your intentions are irrelevant.
There's absolutely no way Mane could prevent colliding with a player's head too. Impossible to the way he was flying in.
I just don't understand why it has caused such an uproar.
'Ammers: Hart; Zabaleta, Reid, Collins, Fonte, Cresswell; Kouyate, Obiang, Antonio; Chicharito, Carroll.
Huddersfield: Lossl; Smith, Zanka, Schindler, Lowe; Kachunga, Billing, Mooy, Ince; Van la Parra, Mounie.
Fat Sam's blueprint for survival.
Clean sheets.
I reckon scoring more goals than the opposition is next up.
Dedicated section on the importance of lumping the ball upfield.
Its the English way...Mind boggles why other countries are`nt copying the template. Success is guaranteed.Quote:

The list reads:
Clean sheets
Don't lose possession in own half
Play the first pass forward
Win knock-downs & transitions
Set pieces
Exploit the opposition's weaknesses
Quality in the final third.
A mixture of lumping it up in with Ed Miliband's Ed Stone.
EPL. Greatest league, greatest minds. We will look to Michael Owen to clear it all up.
David Wagner, Huddersfield manager looks like an extra from Coronation st.
Dont forget to add pace. Pace solves a lot of footballs problems.Quote:

I hear Pool are considering appealing the 3 game ban. Yeah right.
And power.
Kouyate misses the ball with an open goal gaping.
Big Andy volleys it out of the ground.
Huddersfield could go joint top.
Bilic could be sacked by 2mrw.
BLitW
We're (presumably) saying it should just be a 1 game ban, which I can sorta understand, but I can't remember anyone ever appealing a ban like that, so I can't see how it will work. Worth a go though, I guess.Quote:

I hear the appeal is not against the red card but against the 3 game ban........Is it a plea for leniency?Quote:
