It's pretty hard to agree with that opinion. No, sorry, it's very very difficult to agree with that opinion. Or maybe it's just impossible to agree with that opinion.
We were really good mate. Like, really good. Palace were shit too, sure, but what was hard to like about what we did? Gave the ball away stupidly once, maybe twice in the game? Conceded a couple of weak pot shots, couple of corners, and just one decent chance other than the goal? Dominated possession, were clinical in attack, had some amazing creativity in our goals, and were incredibly professional when they had the tiniest sniff at 3-1. Think they had a half chance to make it 3-2 in the 73rd minute and there were a few kittens where I was sitting. We then got the ball, and a Palace player didn't touch it till the 78th minute. A masterclass in killing the game. We could have played crosses had shots, played through balls, but we didn't, we kept it and kept it and basically shut that game DOWN. I was very impressed.
We were good. Dunk, Igor, van Hecke, good. Verbruggen, good. Gilmour, Gross, Hinshelwood, Lamptey, good. Ferguson, Pedro, Buonanotte, good. Lallana, Baleba, Welbeck, Estupinan, Fati, good. RDZ, good.
All good mate

Yeah I felt for him. He was dreadful and his error led to our third but what a horrible time to come on and make your debut for a kid.
Ultimately though, it was his decision to join that shower if shit so he’s only got himself to blame.

I'm struggling to understand the finances at Palace. They are going around the various banks with a begging bowl to anyone who will listen to their sorry club because they are £45 million short to build their "new" stand. Then they spend more than any other club in the Premier League in the January window, on a championship skeleton.
Just so bizarre !!

Roberto de Zerbi, speaking to MOTD:
"We played very well, we played with pride. We suffered a lot after the Luton game and we showed our quality, our human qualities."
"I knew before the game after Luton it would be like today. I know my players, I know their human qualities. I am proud when we win or lose because I believe in them, I respect them as people first of all and as players."
"In the second half we tried to keep the ball. You have to understand when is the time to keep the ball and when is the time to attack the space."
"My players are playing very well in my time here. We are fighting, we are seventh in the table. The fans can be proud and happy. I think we are fighting more than our possibility because we are playing with a lot of injuries."

Seemed more interested in winning arm wrestles, “I’m hard”, than playing football. Cock.

i new weird win
He did acknowledge with a wave our “Super Roy Hodgson” chant.
Either rude, or arthritis of the rotator cuff.

I didn't see that. If he did then fair play to him also. His comments would indicate he knew we did a job on them today, has no complaints and is taking it on the chin.

I group hugged 2 stewards in W3I when we went 3 up earlier. It's been emotional.
More class than Chris Wilder!
Just listening to TS whilst waiting to escape the Bridge car park ..Palace fan who travelled from the Midlands left after 30 mins
I saw a load leave at 3-0, nearer to ESL. It wasn’t for an early HT drink, the seats never filled again.
Is there a yacht chandlers in South Norwood? They’re wearing CP spinnakers.

You’re in my block - those lads love it!!
There's virtually nothing to actually dislike about Hodgson. Except that he manages Palace.
B-right-on
Living the dream
Bet you're a bundle of laughs to live with. FFS, we BATTERED the scum today 4-1 and that's your summary?
No pleasing some.
