Astroblack Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 What a way to win a game. Fucking love this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Without exaggeration the worst game of football I've ever seen. Felt sorry for the blokes commentating They were practically creaming themselves when it looked like PVA was gonna score for Palace. They can eat shitty ass the cunts. Of course they were, absolutely nothing was happening Same with 'Ritchie has punched Townsend' then later when the replay shows he lightly brushes his stomach with his hand 'Oh' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 That's a massive result, need to win games like that. Yep, huge difference to nick the win. Just keeps us riding that bit higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Don’t see much alternative to the way we played, we can’t transform into a different team from one week to the next. Stoked for Merino to get a goal. It was the only way. Had you pressed on, Palace might have scored. Hodgson's game plan is always to sit back and you don't have the players to tear them apart. Rafa knew to pile on the pressure was to invite conceding on the counter, so he basically let it turn into s*** on a stick and then banked on grabbing one as they tired. I reckon that game went according to his plan. He's the ultimate pragmatist. And Hodgson is a knob-truffling arsebasket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 14 points from 9 games. Extrapolated over a season that'd leave us on 59 points which would have been 8th place last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Look at us playing poorly and winning. Youd half expected that in the Championship, cos it's part and parcel of a title charge - but not in this division. Fair fucking play to the lads. They couldn't break us down and paid for it with a defeat. We're a solid, solid side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I don't think this was some Rafa masterclass like It was 2 teams with no strikers playing against against each other. It was two teams with tactics that cancelled each other out and neither manager willing to take a risk to win it. Always going to be settled by a set piece.

Sure, but we’re well organised and prepared to stay patient and hope for a break. With the players we have that’s why we’ll finish quite a bit higher than under most other managers.

This tactics cancelling each other out stuff only goes so far like. Both teams were alarmingly poor on the ball. It was basically only Townsend and Zaha who looked like they'd kicked a ball before.

Odear Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Bad day at the office yet got out with 3 points. If staying up is the objective.. which it is.. then we’re well on our way. Days like today will be as important as they are forgettable. Fuck Townsend, fuck Zaha, fuck Cabaye and generally fuck Palace.. although they did end our Parsnip misery in fairness to them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
