I just don't get the excitement about Rice. Seems a competent midfielder at prem level, nothing special. That said only seen him play against us for West Ham and our record vs them is rather impressive. Maybe he just has an off game every time we play them?
For us or against us, it really needs benefit of the doubt to the attacker. The looking for a reason to call offside is nonsense. An elbow offside gives you no advantage. Whatever happened to the clear daylight idea?
Nothing wrong with VAR, except the clowns using it. I'd ditch it until they...
I've not been back to Palace away since 2002. Not because of the shocking result but the behaviour of the Met that day with the Kettling and the beating of crushed fans with truncheons. We were also charged by an out of control police horse whilst strolling along the road.
Also frogmarched...
Big 6 VAR is a real thing. Call it unconscious bias but boot on the other foot and we'd definitely have had at least 2 if not 3 off.
Application (not the tech) is an absolute joke. Not as if it is brand new this season. Sort it out or ditch it until it can be done fairly.
Off to Pas de la Casa in Andorra on Sunday. Been to Italy past couple of times but prices went crazy so back to reliable Andorra for a week. Different end to the range from previous visits and a bit of snow past couple of days. Should be good.
It is been consistently raining since I moved to Worthing at the end of Sept. I feared I may actully have moved to Manchester by mistake. It never rained like this in Hove!
Really promising, but very young lad so will likely be a bit erratic at times.
As long as he keeps his feet on the ground and doesn't end up like his fellow countryman who was the next big thing after 2 goals vs Spurs, I'm sure he'll be a real asset.
They are the better side but we've really helped them with the giving the ball away twice for the 1st goal.
The most disappointing aspect is how utterly clueless we look in the final third. Really missing Welbeck in terms of stretching the defence. They are effective at closing us down and we...
Well done PB. Deserve to celebrate with a bottle of something nice - naturally with the top taken away immediately just in case you throw it at someone!
Having moved to worthing at the end of Sept I've found getting to games a ridiculous slog, when it really shouldn't be. 4 carriage trains twice an hour when a game is on means standing room only, assuming you can squeeze on to the train.
Passion for the Albion means I'll keep going but it is...
As a peasant I shall doff my cap to the higher borns and hope the glowing warmth of their superior wisdom will heat my house on Xmas day.
(That's a no!)
