David Edgar

Jacob dribbles weakly to nowhere Murphy.

Fucking Slowstaff.

We really miss Willock.

Gordon did just take the weight of Botman on his knee. That will hurt I reckon.

Shame if Gordon is hurt.

Bruno working hard for that yellow card.

Botman bossing DCL.

Hope the atmosphere gets to Pickford.

Luck of having the right squad at the right time. I'm not saying he is a bad manager. He just isn't gonna suddenly turn around Villa.

Trippier saying he's been messaging Trex, trying to get in his head

"A rare mistake"

Poch would get found out at Villa. Well, not found out. But he isn't gonna have them competing for 6/7th.

Pope second for save %. What a boss.

1 defeat in 15 at home and playing better than Everton. Relax lads.

We should win tonight. A loss would be an upset. This isn't bravado, the kind fans of other message boards will mock, it is confidence based on all the underlying stats of how both teams play. We execute our game, we win. Come on.

Jesus Christ.

That's just got to be pure horrible luck cos teams score on average 1 every 9 shots on target.

Brighton with all the possession.

Read this is Classic car... Palace. Got to keep out of the Botman thread.

Honestly thought Viera had turns Palace into a mid 00s AC Milan, but apparently not.

Curtis Bueno!

They were conceding loads of shots, so they've gone more conservative. No way they can go attacking here, they'd get picked apart. Norwich were attacking a few years back and people got excited early on, but it was pretty clear that their style of play was just begging to go back down. If you're crap, like Norwich and Notts Forest, you've just gotta accept that you need to be really pragmatic and that means getting men behind the ball and limiting the space and time in the center of your final third.

Howe's comments on Klopp are perfect. As always.

He's a Volvo XC90 of a player.

Darwin Nunez finished 25th. So basically, a joke award.
