[Albion] Premier League 30/11 - 2/12

[Simster]

HKFC, I think you're overstating the difference between the sides. Palace were the better team, no argument there, but I don't think Palace did enough with it to call them progressive.

I'd also conclude that on yesterday's evidence, Leeds and Palace are both streets ahead of Newcastle and Norwich - both of whom really are "absolute shite".

Not that we can beat any of them of course.

25m apparently! What’s even more funny is that they spent 15m on Firpo, whom Lamptey had on toast for 65 mins on Saturday evening.

He was subbed off at halftime, but your point still stands.

Leeds were effectively down to 10 men for the first half.

 

[Bozza]

I didn't watch a minute of either game, but I did listen to the 5Live commentary whilst out running and as such I think I'm well placed to say all four sides last night are largely shit, and I imagine we'd comfortably beat all of them.

Wow, how have they thrown that away? If any team looked like winning it was Palace. How critical was Benteke’s miss.

I wouldn't say Palace looked like winning at the end more than they were gifted possession, and the chance to break with pace, by a poor Leeds midfield and their sloppy passing. But how awful was that show by Zaha? I think the much vaunted Viera revolution is perhaps unravelling a little.

 

[perseus]

Happy that Palace lost, unhappy that Leeds won. I was hoping for a draw.

Benteke

 

[White Fan man]

But, in comparison to how we dealt with Leeds where a 3-0 or 4-0 would have seemed perfectly reasonable if we had players who could shoot; Palace deserved perhaps a 1-0, they did not dominate Leeds anything like we did but for some bizarre reason, attempted to copy our finishing prowess.

Leeds were the better team last night. Kevin Friend bought every dive that Palace tried. apart from Benteke's miss don't remember any other real chances for them. We missed a good chance after 10 mins and again in the 2nd half. The one thing though all our fans were in the stadium when the penalty was awarded. Never understand why 8,000 of your fans leave before the end when a game is still in the balance. No wonder your manager is cheesed off especially as the ones who did stay chose to boo him.

It's **** and I don't understand it either

Objectively, no, Leeds were absolutely not the better team. This is nonsense.

No real chances for Palace? Remember when Benteke poked it past your keeper who did well to sprawl and drag it back from almost over the line? No? Remember the Leeds handball in the box from a Palace header? No? Remember the Palace appeal when Ayew was shoved in the back? No?

Anyway, you'll not be replying. Ever. Happy to welcome away fans , who make an effort to be vaguely decent. Can't be dealing with pricks who just want to troll.

bye

Uh-oh....another "our fans are better than your fans" comment. Getting away from the Amex is a nightmare, as you know....and that accounts for a big proportion of the early leavers, no doubt. It's not necessarily a great excuse, but I'm sure* it would be a very different story if the stadium had been built on the land next to Brighton station. PS: I know Elland Road isn't near the station! I'm just very happy that, for a relatively small club, we still manage to attract close on 32,000 to every home game.

Are all Leeds fans obnoxious or is it just the ones that post on the internet?

With respect, before then penalty was awarded, the camera panned to the two technical areas and there were dozens and dozens of empty blue seats in the stand behind, that earlier in the game had been occupied.

I wish I could be that certain.

The predictable nature of the game.
Where it fits within the last 2 seasons of games.

I don't believe the actions of the thousands of fans that left early and few fans that booed are as a result of the Leeds performance.

It's the culmination of all the other near identical games and the seemingly simple remedy that has continually been ignored.

That's the most magnificent stat I have seen in a long time. Do hope it is true!

It's true

Watford v Chelsea HALTED and players off due to a medical emergency in the crowd.

I hope everything goes well, the gentleman/lady survives and makes a full recovery.

Everton one down….how long will Big B have left in the job
