CPL

From bbc Crystal Palace 3-1 Newcastle 45 mins Steve McClaren barks orders to his players and almost looks like he's going to burst into tears :-(

Come on Ben Arfa!

Just saw the first half, but that save on to the post was dare I say it... world class.

Unfortunately it's part of the game, screw the haters, I rather he'd play dirty and time wasting if it meant picking up results like today. You don't get anything in this game for being honest.

I actually don't think Krul would have saved that top save!

Thought he did ok keeping Shaquiri quiet most of the game. As others have said he didn't do much going forward, but with our attackers at the minute I would prefer a defensive full back than an attacking one.

No. Apart from the corner in the east stand wasn't too bad from my view anyway.

Mbemba, midway through second half, was like fuck it nothing's on I'm bombing forward, nearly worked as well.

Was strange he signalled to be sub as he went down then he played on for another 5 minutes ?

As clear a foul as you'll ever see Agreed ref bottled it

Ayoze was our best player probably ran out of steam last 15mins but that was probably also because he had no support from others. That drag back in the first for the penalty shout was mint!

Thanks everyone I'll try a couple of those mentioned.

Don't forget Sib!

Where is the best (cheap)place to park these days? Always pay a fortune especially since I'm taking our lass for first time and going bit earlier than usual.

Going to this, I sure hope he doesn't change the team too much, Anita for Colback is fine.

Had a dream he went to Man City, was totally gutted! Let's hope he keeps making the rapid improvement, in my opinion our most important player at the minute that's how highly I rate the lad.

Fucking horrible decision, the ref can fuck right off.

This guy is so good!

In terms of how the season will shape up for us, I think we need a win to give the team morale a boost, which at the minute is obviously very low. As stated by a few others, looking at the teams we have played when we get to October, realistically I wasn't expecting any more than 5-6 points. Wait till Christmas and see how the team is performing is before I will pass any judgement. I just hope we have a go at home especially against Watford.

Had the balls to drop Obertan , now hoping he will start Perez!

Well that was worth it... bring on Saturday

Yes

Play them both with Perez just behind him.

Given doesn't save many pens, fancy Luton here.

Williamson scoring? Wtf
