Premier League 2 watch

Not just Chas who shoots when he should pass.
Three Liverpool players waiting for Mane to cross.That would have been that you would have thought but Lovern's daftness means Everton stole a point.
Makes a change from trying to steal our family's Silva I suppose?!

 

A win in this league can move you up 3 or 4 places in a week, but some teams are starting to show that bit of extra class even in this fairly evenly matched league. Great to see us up there, competing against Leicester, Everton and Burnley for our league placing in only our 3rd season in the Prem (this time around) shouldn't be sneered at. Getting 7th is still achievable, and I'd love it if it happened!



Still very few points earned by teams in this league V the top 6. Results against each other are becoming more important week by week. Could do with 3 points tomorrow....just to state the obvious!!

 

I fear BFS,especially when he comes chewing huge wads of gum and a pint of wine,as Virgil almost said.

 

Or That Britos has quite separated Knockhaert's leg from his torso?
Yes I like him.I must re read The Aeneid.
Let's hope Marco sends the players out with this one;
"Audaces fortuna Dusseldorf,no,wait,iuvat."

 

Actually pleased Palace have beaten Leicester, I know we are going through a bad patch, but top ten is definitely still on, in fact, it's not inconceivable we can win Prem 2 still!

 

Carvalhal in at Swansea, didn’t see that one coming.

 

Better than Pardew, so hoping any 'bounce' happens in 2018.

 

3-1 down.

 

It's the games list League that is beginning to concern me. We have lost 10 from 21 only four teams have lost more. If we are in the bottom 3 for games list after 25 games I think we might be in trouble.

 

Looks like De Bruyne will be out.

 

and Jesus. Palace missed a Pen and sitter right at the end. Not sure if this all means we have a tiny tiny chance on Tuesday eve, or if they'll still put 7 or 8 past us?

 

Glad that he looks likely to miss our game, but that was a horrible challenge on him by Puncheon.

 

City have had very few injuries but if any team can cope with them then they can.
Palace sounded as if they worked very hard,not sure we have the capacity to do that at present.

 

Retrospective ban you would expect?

 

No he was booked.

 

What a hypocrite Graham Poll is. He goes in hard for a ban on Richarlison vs Arsenal and Zaha dives after minimal contact today. Poll avoids any mention of a ban until Humphrey asks the question to him and reluctantly admits that he should get a ban (with a bit of sympathy for Wilf of course). He then gulps and looks away, seemingly frightened from what he said.

 

To misquote Blackadder III " A referee with integrity is like a talking dog,very rare".
It is best to expect the worst with most refs/umpires, I've discovered. You are rarely surprised.

 

I misquoted Blackadder goes forth when we capitulated yesterday, and said something that "rhymes with clucking bell"!!

 

If you’re referring to the Arsenal WBA game then I thought that was a stupid decision. I can understand handball being given when it’s a situation like us against Spurs (which obviously wasn’t given) when the hand actually changes the direction of or stops a cross going in, but if his arm wasn’t there it would’ve just hit his body anyway. A very soft penalty.

 

Muff up to their old tricks again - video of appalling dive: https://twitter.com/zonalmista/status/947829006761648128

 

I’ve lost count of the times Adam Smith has cheated in the last 5 years. An utter disgrace.

 

That reminded me of the Blackadder III 'Pimpernel' episode when the chap hurls himself into the corner of the room!
It was dreadful.
