    Lots jizzing themselves on here.

    Anyway, complete ****, can’t complain at ref decisions, in fact Maguire should have got sent off for fouling as last man on a booking.

    Probably won’t get responded to as I’ve done what most on here can’t do and achknowlege my team being crap and not make excuses mind

    Spurs have been crap in quite a number of games this season, including the midweek game against Brighton.

    Have your lot had their Christmas party this week? Last night, perhaps? Making Zaha look like ****ing Ronaldo.
    Thought you'd win this one quite comfortably.

    Schmeichel channeling the spirit of his dad with that save. Very reminiscent.

    Na they had it a couple of weeks ago then won 4 straight! Just not turned up today, overconfident I think. If we can’t beat Palace at home we have no right to finish top half. Fortunately I think we have enough points given the stage in the season not to worry about bottom 3

    You'll be nowhere near relegation. Still in both domestic cups, so that might be your best bet for Europe.

    We’ll not beat Man City on Tuesday. Fa cup we’ve had a decent draw against Fleetwood. Probably end up 12th ish again

    If you pick your first XI and City rest players, then you could beat them. Shakhtar did.
    Not sure why you think 12th. You're 8 points ahead of that position right now. Top 10, surely?

    Because it’s easy to get ahead of yourself after a few good results but the performances aren’t good, papering over the cracks. We aren’t very good sadly. We’ll get swept away any side Man City put out given that we will no doubt make changes too

    I wonder if this is something to do with Puel's management style? Southampton fans said similar stuff last season.
    It's a bit odd, as your results and performances look pretty decent under him, to an outsider.
    Haven't watched you much this season though, I must admit. Mainly highlights.

    3-0 at the death, despite a really **** final pass. Big win for Palace.

  13. I've got to say, as a neutral, that it's about time refs started to take note of Leicester's diving antics.

    Hopefully, we'll see a lot more sendings-off when they play.

  14. Another classic tactical masterclass from Roy "the gent" Hodgson.

    Why on Earth any club would want to treat him with scorn I will never know!

    I'm glad others are also picking up on Leicesters desire to dive at the first opportunity. Poor from them.

    The end of last season under Puel was crap .

    Having said that , it's obvious now we never gave him enough time ( as in keep him ) .

    I was keen to see him go, I am happy to hold my hand up and say ( with hindsight ) how stupid I was .

    I thought that he did pretty well and reaching a cup final was quite an achievement, but the season fizzled out.
    You didn't really have anything to play for in the last quarter of the campaign and it showed.
    Didn't understand the push to get rid of him, but then I didn't have to watch that every week for months.
    I get the frustration and wish for change.

    Might just be a bad day at the office, just disappointing. Just bad all over including discipline. Hopefully it will act as a wake up call but with Man City to come then Man U, Watford away and liverpool away before new year we could quite likely lose all those
