Interesting to hear the roar that went up when Sunderland scored. Hell of a long journey but no empty seats in the away end. Stoke sounded impressive when they scored as well.
And they almost threw it away instantly, good job Palace were in a generous mood. Fair play to them, they've done it again, you can only play with what you've got and they've found an effective, if slightly negative way of winning.
It means Burnley's defence and keeper were beaten, only poor finishing from the opposition saved them.
No they're very good at grinding out results, we've been over this. You loosing your memory in your old age?
38% possesion at home against Palace, well above their average to be fair but still low. They sit back, absorb the pressure and counter attack, it's working a treat, fair play to them. I'm pretty sure if we tried it we'd be 2 down before we mustered a counter attack!
I'm not losing the ability to spell losing in my old age. Yes, the 3-2 win must have been boring compared to what is served up at the KC. No wonder they only get 18 or 19,000. Oh hang on, Hull has 3 times the population of Burnley so it is like City getting about 55,000 or so.
Good day. Do you reckon we could just swap places with a championship club right now and get straight back out of this boring piece of **** league and back to real football?
Yes, because Phelan has turned our defence into a sloppy, disorganised pile of runny ****e. The only way we're gonna get any points is by going gung ho and controlling the ball, rather than parking the bus and attempting to do something we absolutely cannot do. Sadly I'm not sure we have either the players or manager for that.
