[Albion] Premier League 2-5/1/23

[Horses Arse]

As someone said... cultural stuff. Just take the Everton game... they were in desperate need for some energy from their surroundings and I barely know if the sound is on or not until they concede and start moaning about their team. For the majority of the game a couple of hundred (or how many you were) Brighton fans make more noise than 30k+ home supporters. Not my cup of tea and struggle to see in what sense the Everton fans were trying to support their struggling team, but we all have different preferences.

Booing clearly doesn't help! Totally agree. But is understandable in Everton's case. I wouldn't sit back and accept that.

Watching on TV there were a lot of Palace fans still singing non stop even at 0.4.

Not so sure about this. It was the quietest atmosphere from the home end I’ve ever experienced from trips to Selhurst*. I even made a comment about it to a mate, as generally, it is one of the noisier PL grounds regardless of points made above.

*excl. Wimbledon (a) back in the day.

 

[LamieRobertson]

At least they have had a shot or two on target for a change

... seems we're just into very different things when it comes to football experiences.
Still don't see how singing for the team in good and bad times is anything other than supportive.

I’d suggest they weren’t singing for the team but more for themselves (and singing is stretching it a bit)

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Chelsea falling like flies

 

[Mancgull]

They are playing well so far though. City look very sluggish.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Chelsea well on top.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Man City getting some joy against Cucurella, think their right winger has beaten him every time.

Was actually thinking he's looking OK so far. Better in attack than defence mind, but was ever thus.

Certainly nothing like the confidence-free wreck he looked at the Amex.

On the BBC:
I get injuries are part of the game but, when it comes to Chelsea, I have to think it's more than bad luck! Something isn't right. Is it coaches maybe?

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

City struggling with De Bruyne off the boil

 

[Pevenseagull]

A lot of the bookies were promoting extravagant combinations of shots on targets and goals and such like today.

I stayed well away from these things.


(Just like I did for the world cup final)

What the f*** went on in that Belgian World Cup campaign? Trossard’s looked haunted since he came back. KDB looks a pub player tonight

The good Lord looking down and smiting them.

One hell of a holiday slide night, exactly where does Martinez holiday and with whom?

Martinez?

 

[BNthree]

Cucu beaten for the City goal!

 

[Javeaseagull]

That was class. Fair play to Chelsea(spits)

 

[dazzer6666]

Cucu getting exposed a bit……suppose this is a free hit for a mid-table team like Chelsea innit ?

 

[Acker79]

Could Cucurella have done better? Let it run across him, but he was running toward his own goal line and risked an own goal.
