Drogba was once sent off for a two footed challenge but he got the ball. I think it depends on the risk factor. If he misses the ball, that would be a serious injury.

It could easily have been a broken ankle. 100% stonewall red.

Oh, fair enough!
Still think that should be a red card though, all luck and no judgement as to avoiding ending the palace players career.
Looks like he's caught in two minds, block a pass or win the ball and it just becomes a soup of shite that could have ended very badly.
Red would have been right but I don't necessarily think yellow is wrong - its important to be nice, and the ref might have said "well you're a little bit shit and can't help yourself so I'm settling for a yellow".

Absolutely agree. Inches away from a broken ankle. Terrible decision.

Imho he meant a nasty assault, but at the last second thought better of making contact.
Once he takes off he is out of control . That's unacceptable.
However, if he played for Crawley, and broke the guys ankle, no one would care.

Hodgson must be looking on pleased that his coaching and tactics have not been discarded.

All over 0-0. I’ll take that 
Yes it will help him a lot when they appoint him in December.

Blimey - the bottom 8 teams have won a total of 2 games out their first 40.

Palace chants are tedious as f***! Lots of woohhooos and woohaaaas. I guess that's what happens when you rely on a drum.
Its a joke and 25 pts will be enough to keep you up.
Like I said (which randomly infuriated people) last week: the PL is too big and need to be reduced to 16 or 18 teams to make it more competitive, there needs to be a chance that "ok" (rather than just bad) teams get relegated or it'll get very boring and predictable in the long run.

.The 4-0 was in that brief period when they were still playing and the rest of the league were on the beach.
Why did Man Utd stop playing for the last 20 minutes? Especially Martinez who spent most of that time just standing with the ball at his feet.
Palace may have a new manager but it’s the same tactics of packing men behind the ball and trying to score on the counter attack.

Some Palace fans thought they were pushing for Europe this season. No chance, they made Man U look decent. Shows they were a one man team who relied on Olise.

Based on a very small sample size of games, parts of the media rushed to say the generational talent of Wharton and others.
New season, all 20 clubs now motivated, CPFC2010 have had a reality check.
