    Everton 1-0 up against Norwich, Sunderland 2 ahead in their game against Fulham and the Spam take the lead against Cardiff.
    Could be some important scorelines there, if they remain the same.

  3. Well, on that display, Sherwoodie is taking us into the bottom half of the EPL.

    Fantastic stride forward for the club!

    Anyone got a clue what our tactics actually are? No-one seems to have any idea where they are supposed to be when Palace have the ball. Bentaleb has been playing quite well but everyone else may as well be in the dressing room

    You can see why Palace are so poor, they huff & puff really well but their finishing is non existent.

    Wow. That was, to a man, total ****e. Bentaleb is the only one I can think of who hasn't done anything dreadful. Are they sick?

    Also - why was there not even any discussion (on the stream I'm watching) as to whether or not Dembele should have got a red? Could well have been down to ten and a goal down very early on.

    They need rockets up their arses at half time.

    Chamakh didn't have the ball under control so it wasn't a goal-scoring opportunity.

  12. Just as well, or it'd be 0-3 at half-time, and Sherwoodie would be staring down the barrel of a gun, with both fans and board.

    Eriksen really should open the scoring there. Why are our players so hesitant in front of goal?

    Walker off for Naughton? Ill, injured?

    Eriksen 1-0. Adebayor flick on and a relatively easy finish.
    It's been coming since the restart, as it's looked like a totally different game.

  17. Well, so much for the first-half ranting!
    <laugh>

    Still, we could have been in serious trouble if Palace were not so damn poor. Against Chavs, Gooners or £ity, we'd have been put the sword, and this game would already be over.

    Naughton doing an Agger on Chamakh in the box. Very silly, but he got away with it, as defenders seem to do at the moment.
    Our marking from set-pieces has been absolute ****e.

  19. "A tough lesson for Crystal Palace, who dominated the first half but are made to pay for their missed chances when Emmanuel Adebayor helps on a long ball before Christian Eriksen takes a touch and hammers a shot into the top of the net. White Hart Lane can breathe again."
    (BBC Football Live commentary)

    Erm... I thought the first-half stats showed that we had more than 60% of the possession?

    Possession means nothing - you know that.

    In any case, they "dominated" the shot count and the corner count.
