[Football] Franchise CP2010FC vs Manchester United

[Triggaaar]

Can't be bothered to read through the entire thread, but Palace were very much the better team in the first half

Actually they weren't. Palace had a decent first 5 minutes, and Townsend got a lucky deflection for the goal, and that was the end of anything from Palace in the first half. Man U were poor in the first half, but still better than Palace, it was just Man U's unforced errors and lack of invention in the final 3rd that kept Palace in front.

Rashford improved things for Utd, and it was just one quick bit of thinking from the free-kick (not sure it should have been a free-kick) and a good finish that put Palace 2 up against the run of play. Only once Utd levelled at 2-2 did Palace start playing again.

Utd 69% possession, 17 shots to 10, 8 on target vs 4. It was only the order of the goals and timing that made it look unlucky, Palace were pretty poor.

Feel sorry for their decent supporters.

Completely agree Trig but you do realise that you're talking to a Palace fan there don't you? That's why he's making no sense. The poor sad wretch.

Would, on the other hand, be even more ironic if Pardew sent them down

in his final premier league game

Oh, no I didn't realise

I imagine some others on here would have thought Palace were doing better, simply because they were ahead and we expect so much more from Utd, but it wasn't skilful defending that kept Utd at bay, it was just poor passing and a half dead Pogba. Palace were poor. They're lucky to be playing Stoke and West Brom at the end though, so that's a free 6 points.

On the other hand we really needed a Palace defeat so the right result for the Seagulls.

That is one way to look at this result. Another is

I'm not so sure about WBA and Stoke being a free 6 points. If both were already relegated, they may well play more freely, without the burden of hope and expectations. Relegated teams often get a bounce when it is too late.

Maybe our palace friends will remember their log in's next week...








...after they've played Chelsea.

Maybe get a split canvas print of it ?

Just to confirm. It's still HILARIOUS this morning too.

A reporter on Talksport has just said " This Palace team are too good to go down". The kiss of death, hopefully.

Gary Neville also said that last night. I wish these pundits would say who the worse teams are.

Oh I like that. I'm hoping West Ham have another one of their famous too good to go down seasons as well

 

[Quinney]

Just got in from a night shift and seen the goals, superb.

Can you also imagine how they must feel each time they see Glenn on the scoresheet? That must really grate on them. FFS [emoji23]

The current Palace 1st team aren't necessarily too good to go down (whatever that means) but their best 11 (with everyone back from injuries) should never be involved in a relegation scrap.

I guess the key points will be;

When are their 'stars' returning?
Will they be able to make enough difference?

Makes Neville a crap pundit then, hasn't he noticed where Palace have been in the table for much of the season?

Whatever happened to " The table doesn't lie "?

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

2 injury time goals are not only point losing - but really hit confidence of the team and crowd. I hope.

 

[severnside gull]

In fairness I thought their fans made a very decent noise - a very good "12th man" as they say.
Shame about the 11 on the pitch although Benteke looked impressive......... as a centre back.

The thing I really REALLY enjoyed about that Matic strike was the reaction of the Palace fans behind the goal. When it hits the back of the net, almost to a man they physically RECOIL, before the hands go on heads and faces are planted into palms, as the full horror of what just happened properly hits them.

I could watch that all night. In fact I think I might. I just want to drink in the shock, pain and abject misery of every single face behind that goal, and wallow in the despair. Its better than porn.

Do..... do you by any chance mean.... THIS?
