Utterly shambolic this like. And tremendous fun into the bargain

There must have been a hundred thousand similiar incidents that caused no fuss whatsoever when they went without a penalty being awarded.

Thought I must have missed all of those asterisks next to Chelsea and Manchester City's names over the last 20years but I checked wikipedia and its all there

Are Palace one of those clubs that play wind up songs? If not seems a bit harsh, but then again they've been dickheads with us so get it up them

Small wind up there - playing Glad All Over. Hope Parish absorbed every bit of it.

Score aside, its still been a far better, far more open game than I imagined

Reckon this lads come into some decent form of late

Elias was wrong. Barnes IS the firing squad.

Was gonna say in the match-thread - going steam+wireless tonight and the atmosphere is good, very considering its Palace, don't know what the TV's like.

An absolutely pointless change for the sake of change.

All the hallmarks of a drought developing here for Isak - need to get this nipped in the bud, tonight's as good as any hot streak > team scores plenty without him > chances coming and going

In the end after all that, the decision is still effectively the same guess it was in real time

VAR to forensically study for 5minutes if the slightest foul has occurred

The infamous paper aeroplane game was against them back in the day.

Being football it'll more likely be the other thing. Does he come up for corners?

Must just be that 99% of the fanbases of the two clubs that have first hand experience of Ashley absolutely detesting the bastard are wrong. Bet Sheff Wed's fans said that same thing when they hired Bruce - that the Villa fans were totally wrong about him. Went on to shaft them a few month later.

Apparently Peterborough have won it back to back and nobody has won it more. They're basically the Real Madrid of that cup. 'Peterborough's the Real Madrid of that cup you won, Sunluns a massive club' *but the mackems did dethrone Salford City from holding it. Nobody should ever take that away from them.

Been noticing that effect a lot on TV. Liverpool at home was the same. On both occasions popped the radio on whilst the game was on and it was like a different event.

Very happy for him, in the camp that this was far from pressure free for him and a free hit.

Relegtion-bound as f*ck to concede that quickly in the 2nd half with a two goal lead.

Most ammusing.

Marseilles when being bankrolled by Tapie sorted themselves out in a fraction of the time. They'd been knocked out in the EC/CL semis by a handball, lost a final on penalties and won the thing inside about 6years

Seen too many illogical things happen in second legs at this stage - with Real Madrid contributing more than their fair share - to assume the first legs will be the story of the ties.... Except Barcelona - Dortmund, that c*nts done.

Grew up in Washington and never heard a proper mackem accent ('hoyd' level) until I worked with a lad from Southwick. Though a mate (Newcastle fan) after moving just across the river from Washington developed a horrible twang to his which was as stark as I experienced - more your 'skewel' level of fluency.

25,000 there that day. Everton's previous home game against Southampton 13,000.
