Unbelievable

Oh yeah, they’ve got Ansu Fati to come into the fold too

It’s like they are playing real life FM. Making it look easy.

Brighton are the real deal this year, aren’t they..?

My wife is along for the ride as well Kanji, as are my kids, so at least your wife may have someone sensible to converse with about topics <> football You planning to go the the game at SJP as well btw? I understand it's hardly the main event what with Red vs Blue on the same day, but would be nice to show her different levels of football back to back

Just purchased international memberships for myself and my boy in the hope of getting tickets for the Palace game in October. Hope it works out

Flights booked and accommodation sorted (thanks @LFEE)! Looking forward to meeting you all at the Lockwood Cup (I'll be cheering on), hopefully at the game if I can manage to obtain tickets, and for a meal afterwards

I think the bit in bold is an important piece of the puzzle that VAR as implemented is getting wrong, and the audio highlights that perfectly: VAR is there to correct clear and obvious refereeing mistakes. Therefore the referee shouldn’t influence VAR’s decision making process by defending his view of the situation. VAR needs to review the footage and make up their own mind without the referee in their ear telling them how he saw the situation. A referee who’s (potentially) made a clear and obvious error should explain their view and how they’ve managed to miss a clear and obvious error after the game, not defend their shit decision making as it is being exposed.

So, finally got through to the box office. International members do go into a ballot, but apparently it’s a separate ballot from the local members. Guy on the phone couldn’t comment on if the chance of getting a ticket is different for international members. A bit torn to shell out on travel, accommodation and memberships for my family on the odd chance I might be able to obtain match tickets. How long in advance do tickets normally go up for sale through the ballot? Looking specifically at the Palace home game on 21/10.

Game is lost. Last thing we need is headless challenges leading to bookings and sending off’s

Of course man

Pathetic effort that, needs to be on target

Gordon should score

We’ve deserved this. Much work ahead Eddie

Wow

This is just painful to watch now

Wow, out only functioning midfield player off

Pathetic from Joelinton

Botman is out most important player I reckon. We lack composure without him being the rock he is back there

We are just asking to be beaten here. Absolutely enraging stuff

Unbelievably sloppy today

Why are we walking the ball around our penalty area like a leisurely Sunday afternoon walk?

Joelinton knows

Tonali brilliant, our Brazilians are slowing everything down

Not sure he even touched him

Our midfield is dysfunctional atm
