Pen to Palace

Haha no way, Libpewl concede

Just waiting for the inevitable from Anfield.

Can't remember an hour ago but 34 years, no bother

It's like there had to be a defender out of frame playing him on because he was clearly 2 yards in front of the defender they showed

Missing Olise, Eze doesn't look the same and Wharton not influencing games like he was, so in the attacking phase they're not looking great. They've been in this game plenty though and have poor defending to blame for being behind.

Mateta scores, initially given offside

Lacroix not looking the part BTW, giving away FKs and that goal was partly his fault

More useless Palace defending and Leicester go 2 up

Also, we have a track record of remaining interested in players we don't initially sign. I doubt a few patchy performances at the start of a new season when he probably expected to be lining up in a different shirt will put us off. We might even get him for a reasonable fee, he's certainly not looking like a 60m defender.

Early goal IIRC, first 20 minutes, back post header from a FK. Then we hung on as Bull and Mutch threatened to do what they did at St James'. Think Dillon missed a 1-1, I swear that daft twat could have had 15 goals that season if he could have finished his dinner.

I was at that 1990 game posted in the first post when Scott scored as a callow 18 year old, seems like a different lifetime

Guehi with a calamitous mis-kick, should have been 2-0 to Leicester

Interested to see if Wharton steps it up this year. Had barely heard of him a year ago and apparently he became the reincarnation of Bryan Robson so curious to see how he does. Palace look shit so far without Olise though

Haaland is physically big but he plays even bigger, like he's twice the size of everyone he's up against, amazing to watch

Vardy dragging Guehi all over the place. What a striker he's been for them, still scoring at 37

Paul Rudd on for Finland

Brayson? He was there 95-98ish

FS2 Mike

He was utterly hopeless but I at least saw him score in a win at Sheff Wed. Think he teed up the winner as well. He often gets mentioned as one of our worst ever strikers, along with Pingel. Think Pingel was actually worse but the memory is hazy and that 88/89 season is one of the worst ever.

Yet to see Eze produce much of anything for England, seems to play very much within himself

Trent is absolutely rubbish at times, such a weird player, lacks awareness, loses concentration and gives the ball away so often

So dozy and wasteful

Never change Trent you berk

Could have had 2 goals, looks close to being back to last season's form. Maybe a little burst missing but that'll come, looks great
