Crouch always causes us problems

Massive difference is that Palace's side is full of proven quality players compared to ours. They were clearly playing worse than their abilities and have now improved. That proves that a manager can have significant influence on the players, if you think that Benitez has us playing near their maximum I disagree.

Just remember this same palace team lost the first 7 games without scoring, the same players look a much better team now, this blind notion that the way we are playing is purely down to the players is ridiculous. I like Benitez to suggest it’s nothing to do with him is just blind abdication. Also to suggest anyone that disagrees is ‘thick’ is positively Maoist, we are allowed to have different opinions.

Why aren’t palace terrified of City like we were

I think it will fall through somewhere between tonight and the next 2/3 days. Based on nothing either, other than my expectations of this club

We will lose this. Dreadful squad

As if they would tell his staff to go home

We've had plenty against us like that, because in the modern game, they're often given. The difference is that we don't get these decisions, it's not consigned to us by any means, any team outside of the top 6 is generally less likely to get them. Check out Chelsea's penalty today for an example. I agree with this but it doesn’t make them any more penalties, just highlights the bias to the bigger teams

Neither were pens imo, Gayle’s was another Oscar contender, and Merino stumbled and lost his balance. We’d be furious if either were given against us.

Watching Diame sometimes is like seeing someone who has won a raffle to play for Newcastle

Definite dive and the right decision, but it was the same as Alli who ‘won’ the penalty, which all pundits agreed was a penalty. Strange that!

Got to say though possibly the most pointless half of football I have seen.

To be fair he didn't even do that, he just asked the question

yeah mate, there's nothing cheeky about suggesting an away win tonight

Nah mate, flat track bully. Right sport

This comment on Shearer, man alive!! Yet won only one trophy. Come on marra Shearer was a very good goalscorer but not as good as Lineker, Greaves etc. For me he was a fast track bully although best of his era at it. Kane has more about him imo. Not only palpably ridiculous but what the hell is a 'fast track bully'? Presumably someone who was thought to have a talent for bullying and were promoted through the bullying ranks :lol:

Yeah but he didn't actually remove his head so.i can see why it was a yellow. They are clueless, Gerrard and Jenas were commenting onthe Alli dive and gjving it the 'definite penalty he anticipated the contact and is entitled to go down' line. It was so similar to Lanzini's but was not reviewed. This panel will be disbanded soon because there is no consistency and there will be uproar at the obvious bias

Speed isn't everything though I Think hebshoykd bebgivr more of a chance. I was just about to ramble the same thing

Part of me fears we will, again and again and again

Is this just your feeling or something you know. I am hoping it's something you know. What do you think? ???? Not sure that's why I asked Nobody on here knows anything from inside the deal. Nobody. HTT does HTT stands for Hopeless Tittle Tattle

1-0 win last minute Eliot goes up for the corner in the 90th minute, by the 94th he’s just past the centre circle and one ricochets if his arse and into the top corner from 40 yards

Showed Moyes up for the manager he is, clueless and prehistoric

Charnley was probably their to make a withdrawal for Big Mike

Can't wait to meet him I'm gonna kill him Cause that little motherfucking Richard got arms like a gorilla Voodoo, runnin' from my tweetshit Gorrillas on the p*ss Is that a Diane Fossey quote?
