Spurs are really giving it a go at Man City - they look really lively. I wish we could go at top teams like that, home or away. We definitely do not want to be sitting back against Liverpool tomorrow. Well that was a kiss of death observation, City 1-0 up, Spurs allowed Agüero just too much time & space. 1-1 Eriksen now, what a great response by Spurs!
Sloppy Spurs give up 2 quick penalties - Agüero scores with the 1st, but misses on a weak attempt for his 2nd for his hat-trick. Just after that Agüero almosts gets his 3rd - that guy is on fire! Lampard off with a serious looking injury (thigh?)
School teacher ref Jon Moss tries to even up the match, awarding his 3rd penalty for a foul on Soldado that appeared outside of the box. Weak kick from Soldado, Hart saves - I would have Dier take those kicks. Now Fazio on his debut red carded with a 4th penalty, and Agüero finally gets his hat-trick. You can't say Spurs didn't have their chances in this match - you just have to take them! 4th goal for Agüero now, brilliant solo effort, 4-1 City, plus he missed another penalty, so he could have had 5. And it all started so promiosing for Spurs.
.......Spurs hammered us. Our game against City could see double figures! How awful is it when one worries for not just a loss but a humiliation.
Fraizer Campbell has already had a couple of good scoring chances for Palace - at this level, you really have to make those opportunities count. Odd situation at Newcastle with kick-off delayed by an hour due to an apparently dangerous big screen TV (as opposed to simply not working). Perhaps someone posted "PARDEW OUT!!!!" on it? Kick off looks set to be delayed at an empty St James' Park - because there are safety concerns over Newcastle's big screen. "Turnstiles at SJP are currently closed due to safety concerns relating to panels surrounding the LED screen. We apologise for the delay," the club tweets. There has been no indication when they will open or when the game will kick-off. Finally we have some good news from St James' Park. The workman has been hauled down from the Tyneside sky and the big screen is safe. Hurrah! Newcastle United: Kick-off has been delayed until 4pm. Turnstiles will be open at 3:15pm.
Shaun Derry getting on with the basics of the job at hand with Notts County already 2-0 up against Creepy Crawley, after just 18 mins. Wish one of these games we could put ourselves in that situation, with a bit of a cushion, rather than always trying to claw the game back after going behind. 3-0 up going into the 2nd half.
Chelsea down to 10 men - will be good to see Palace have a go. RED CARD FOR CESAR AZPILICUETA Now Delaney, 2nd yellow card > Red RED CARD FOR DAMIEN DELANEY Crystal Palace 0-1 Chelsea Crystal Palace's man advantage doesn't last long as Damien Delaney is given his marching orders for a second bookable offence. The defender hauls back Loic Remy in full flow, despite having a number of covering defenders around him, and pays the price. Moments later, Nemanja Matic goes close for Chelsea. It's 10 v 10 now.
A preppy looking idiot being frog-marched out of the ground - his moment of fame in the national media. Ref has never shown a red card until today and now he has shown 2.
Well done bottom team Blackpool in the Championship, 3-0 down at Huddersfield, they score 2 quick goals in 1st half injury time, to go in only 3-2 down at the break - I only hope if we go behind early against Liverpool that we show that sort of grit.
My TV channel just switched from Palace v Chelsea to the delayed start of Newcastle v Leicester. No other channel carries the Palace match, but this is a very good Ustream:- http://streamfifamatches.tv/ch3ustream.php
Just saying...the results are so going our way....if by some fluke we won tomorrow The world would look a rosier place for us all Just saying
