The commentator loving that ‘Oh Boy. We’ve got fisticuffs on the far side!’

Obviously two grown men having a punch up in the context of a physical game is directly comparable to a teacher belting a minor who’s under his authority. Stop being soft.

Game has definitely gone soft. I'd like it if on-field punch ups made a return to the game, not this rolling round on the floor clutching your face trying to get the opponent sent off. Refs should let players have it out ice hockey style.

This is the correct answer. Thread closed.

Was it not Poyet's decision to splash out on CMS instead of offering a more competitive contract to Glenn Murray?

Don't know about last night, but I thought he looked very lively in his 15-20 minute cameo on Saturday. It was his whipped cross into the corridor of uncertainty that the Man U defender was forced to put out for the half-cleared corner that we scored the winner from. Certainly earned his place...

I don't think I've ever seen a keeper look so out of place as Pickford in the current England team when we try to do a bit of keep ball or play out from the back.

It was 19-20. White was being discovered and undergoing transformation at Leeds that seasom.

I remember a specific occasion of @Dougie telling us with confidence that Sully KaiKai, in Palace's U21s at the time, was a far better player than Solly March who ws just breaking into the BHA first team squad. Guess which player spent the majority of his career playing in the Premier League...

Summer 2012 was fairly exciting relative to our Championship status - Bruno, Bridge, Orlandi, Spanish Dave etc.

If he was he’d have been starting every week. He was involved in a couple of late-late goals, but don’t think he was a major factor in their success last year.

Last time we were in bottom 3 - and it was only for a week - Jack Hinshelwood was 12.

Steele and Sanchez had almost identical points per game.

United seem to be having a similar effect on talented players as Chelsea. Much as we take the piss out of Maguire being a donkey, he was brilliant for Leicester (and England) before Utd ruined him.

Are there still doubts about Baleba’s stamina over 90 mins? I’d have thought that starting him would be a no-brainer, even if did need replacing for the last 20-30.

Got to hold and give, but do it at the right time.

That deliberate handball first half was a thing of beauty. If the ref had had the same view as the entire west stand, it’d have been a definite yellow.

I expect Dougie will be on here in a bit to talk about it. It’s not like he just turns up on days that Palace win and/or Brighton lose.

I think that was possibly the best defensive performance I’ve ever seen from a Brighton olayer.

Pics?
