Saying that Palace didn’t play well is disgusting. They were fantastic. The second(?) goal was absolutely delicious play.

"There is only so much you can keep trying to butter someone up to give them confidence," manager Lampard said.
"We are playing at the cut-throat end of football here. This is a cup quarter-final to get to Wembley and if you haven't got the confidence to play, you can quickly flip it and say have you got the bollocks to play?
"Sorry, excuse me, but that is the football reality. If you fall somewhere in the middle then don't worry about it."
First-half goals from Marc Guehi and Jean-Philippe Mateta put Palace in full control, before Wilfried Zaha and Will Hughes secured the win.
"We didn't play that badly today and Palace didn't play that well and we lost 4-0 because of a lack of confidence and a lack of what I just said," Lampard added.
"It wasn't tactics. Tactics showed in the first 20 minutes Palace couldn't get out of their half."
Frank Bruce.

Pre-VAR that’d been given as a penalty all day long. Refs don’t make decisions these days - relying on a technology to prove them wrong when the onus is to not do so.
Farcical.

Dying to see that VAR frame again and which body parts they did the lines from

They’ve used the only angle that’d ever get this line in that position like
We’re looking at it miles behind the actual play.

Fucking hell
Unreal

VAR managing to find some sort of bizarre angle/freeze frame to give that is quite impressive.

How is that onside?

Did he score against Norwich?

Performs well once every 5 games is just horseshit
His goal record this season of 1 in 5 and tracking back through his games this season seems to suggest it’s true.
Even during our run of good form I can only really pick out the Everton & Man Utd games where he was good.
Since Howe came in, those two games plus Brentford and maybe Norwich at home.
I can easily recall many more games where he’s been incredibly poor or completely uninterested: Liverpool, Villa, Man City, Cambridge, Arsenal, Leicester, cameos at Everton, Chelsea & Brighton.

Barry Hayles, Jason Roberts & Ricky Lambert.... Three fantastic ex Gas!
But' I think Elliot could be up there with them in Bright Lights should we win Promotion. This Lad is f****** amazing
Really appreciate your updates on here. Have such a soft spot for Barton (I know, it’s wrong to) and with Anderson there too it’s great to hear how it’s going.

The amount of results he’s got us in the past, everyone has short memories.Said it numerous times but he performs well about once every five games, mainly because of his decision making and selfishness. For now, we can just about accept that as a bottom half team.
Will that be good enough next season, or the season after? Nah.
He’s a loveable maverick and does some brilliant charity and local work but he’s not going to last long. He’ll be off to Nice/Marseille or somewhere.

If you played Gayle for 90 minutes for 16 consecutive games, he’d more than likely have achieved more than 1 goal and 0 assists like.
They’re both shite, but Wood is diabolical.

Only a matter of time before that happened.

Scholes reminds me so much of Pete from Gavin and Stacey.
Especially since he started snogging feet.

Not a good night in the lower leagues.
Everyone around them picking up points in their games in hand. Clinging onto their playoff place with their fingertips.

Honestly worst ref performance I've ever seen. Allowed to hack us down constantly and not get yellows.
Not sure we can say we deserved it either to be fair. Just got pure shithoused. Atletico are a fucking shite side.
Not even the worst refereeing performance this week.
Thought he did well. Tried to let the game flow and not book every single foul.

Lampard is more Steve Bruce soundbite than Steve Bruce at the moment.
No idea where Lampard gets any credibility from at all. Been shite in his previous two jobs and nothing to suggest he’ll be a good manager other than his name as a player.
Rafa still getting the blame and stick but he got more points in his final six games than Lampard has got in his first six. The games were much harder too.
Lampard’s deadline day signings were suicidal too.

Correct me if I'm wrong like because I only watched the highlights, bit didn't Grealish set up two of Man City's biggest chances to KDB and Silva?
We see quality players take time to integrate into new teams time and time again yet we're still so quick to write them off for some reason.

I don't get why they wouldn't just get the train and send the gear up in the bus.
Would be easier just to buy the sniff in Boro.

That statement from Middlesbrough is ace.

I don’t get this “favouring the big teams” crap. This very weekend alone we’ve seen Liverpool not get a clear decision in their favour through VAR.
Every team feels hard done by. The clear answer in all of that is that all teams are affected by the incompetence.
Just google “*team name* and referee decisions” and I can guarantee you’ll find article after article after article like the ones below, just using three of the “top six” as an example:

No chance that deal goes through with the complications on both sides.
How can he actually sell Chelsea in this situation? Where would the money go?

Get used to it. Being groomed by the BBC to replace Lineker for some unknown reason.
