Tiresias

ace finish! really happy for the lad!

Lascelles eats big forwards for breakfast, not so great today

they're closing shelvey and our midfield down so fast they can't get the ball forward well.

We aren't pressuring them so much anymore, guess preserving energy a bit after being a bit frantic at start but I'm worried. Need to try and upset their rhythm

commentators again blithering about geordies not caring about technical ability just want players to give 100%. Please find me a fan in the land who wants players at their club to give 80% and I will eat my hat

Yeah yedlins fault but think two very good passes involved from them.

Lovely play from them tbf

Looks like this thread will hit 1000 pages before they get relegated, would be a nice if it coincided with new thread. Or just don't start a new thread and ignore them

He's one of those who is very good mostly then is capable of absolute clangers reasonably regularly. May get better though, first season in the league and all that

This, a million times. 1. Gayle scored for fun in the championship in a less attacking team than Fulham, look at him at this level. 2. If Rafa can't work with a player, ditch the player. He has improved so many of our team we had written off he's allowed to get rid of one he hasn't got the patience for.

I think if it was Kaizeros method it would only be to convey strictly factual stuff, like ref could ask 'was it in the box' 'were they offside' or on the edge of being dangerously open to interpretation 'was there contact with the other player'

Aye but i think they really want the on pitch ref to be the one to make all the calls which i can see the logic of in a way but there needs to be a less disruptive way of doing it

I'm not sure it's a red with the ball going inside with other players there. However, it felt worthy of one. The Ben Davies was a red. Yeah think first time saw a reply looked really bad, anotehr look prolly a yellow, yep davies one is a red

that was a red card tackle and outside the box, nice reffing

Still can't quite get over Delph being a competant left back

Sane nearly scoring a cracker

Imagine writing this and thinking you're witty

think the bottom 3 will stay the bottom 3 now. can't see soton catching 5 points on Swansea tbh.

Don't rate Hughes at all but don't think even Rafa would have time to do much there, waited too long to change.

Imagine the celebrations if they survive, they'll probably claim bigger achievement than winning the championship at first time of asking

Every time I see crystal palace on motd they look quite good and I have this sort of false memory that they've won quite a few games and yet they're down that end of the table

Guessed that was probably the case, just thought they still filled it a bit more, but that makes sense.

I think I speak for us all when I say, yes we would be so...pissed...off for them to have Ashley. Just...fuming...

Any reason barca's been so empty? Is that normal?
