    Indeed they do. I don['t think Hotbov has seen too much of them. Tonight's match is very scrappy though.

    I do. He always appears to me as a petulant show pony. Plenty of step-overs and cut-backs and no end product.

    12 goals in 120 odd appearances is pretty poor for a winger/forward. Just seems to run into people as well.

    Some dodgy decision making and awareness too.

    A lot of criticism there, but United are going to need to get a lot of improvement out of him to be worth that £15m.

    No quality in this game at the moment

    He has some massive holes to his game, but if Palace are to score here, a low Zaha cross is the most likely source. In between the showy stuff, he has put a few dangerous balls into the box.

    Actually TSS, from what I have seen of them, I'd say it was too much! Has Poyet got them playing instead of bruising now then?

    Jono Forte has a better goals to game ratio.

    I definitely agree. I can see why United like him, if they can actually coach him he'll be really dangerous but I just think he's kinda crap at the moment.

    In the last few weeks that I've seen them they have pinged the ball around pretty effectively. Much easier on the eye than Stoke and West Ham, for example. Tonight's game, on the other hand, could well be WHU v Stoke, so far.

    This game badly needs a goal

    Bridge passed to Hammond and it made me feel cosy, :)

    No, I haven't had a drink..! I was just getting sentimental.

    I've been dying for a Hammond belter from just outside the box since the first leg. I'd probably celebrate it like a Saints goal.

    Share a coke with Holloway. It'll be incredibly sour and bitter though.

    At the beginning of the season he genuinely was playing great, but it's been a while since I've been all that impressed. Bolasie always seemed like a more consistent performer.

    Iv'e just realised that Speroni is the crazy keeper who used to play for Palace back in the Premier League. I remember he used to run miles out of his goal to make tackles and to collect the ball, normally failing.

    A football match seems to have broken out here.
