Perhaps they have claimed to HMRC they have received less of the transfer money from Spurs than they really have.
I am ok with that starting XI. Palace may try to force the game with intense pace/muscle at the beginning, which I think Spurs can handle. Then if they cannot sustain it for much of the 2nd half, Son the punisher is available.
Crystal Palace 13 Hennessey 2 Ward 34 Kelly 12 Sakho 31 Schlupp 28 Milivojevic 18 McArthur 10 Townsend 42 Puncheon 11 Zaha 17 C Benteke Substitutes 1 Speroni 3 van Aanholt 4 Flamini 7 Cabaye 9 Campbell 26 Sako 27 Delaney
He's done exactly what I thought he'd do and made two changes: Sakho and MacArthur replace Tomkins and Cabaye. The first was enforced, as Tomkins is out for the season, but he'd have done it anyway. Sakho only missed the last game because he's on loan and Liverpool's his parent club. MacArthur's just an attempt to add more solidity to the midfield, I think.
Why do we have to have that feckin' eejit Nial 'Arsenal' Quinn? Him and 'Spurs will have to sell all their players' Redknapp. GONNA BE A LONG NIGHT!
Boro take an early lead against Sunderland. Would be great if they could still have something to play for by the time they face Chelsea.
