[Albion] Premier League 21-23/11

[Pavilionaire]

Marc Albrighton done up like a kipper by Robertson there. Nice goal by Liverpool.

 

[ttgg]

The reason the manager never wins anything

Likes small squads and intense training/tactics

Players get burnt out / injured

They looked like they were going to stutter a bit before covid break

What the 5 wins on the trot and no goals conceded kind of stuttering?

Palace / Burnley on the graveyard shift today. I guess we're hoping for a 0-0 with a couple of sendings off?

Prefer a palace win keeping Burnley firmly rooted in the relegation spots

Yeah a few comedy own goals and penalty misses is being greedy.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Palace win suits our cause.

Short of an unexploded WW2 bomb being set off by a SEGW dive taking out both squads a draw will do. Burnley loss also acceptable to keep them as far away from us as possible.

Just as the tit announces "And its live".

 

[Simster]

Sorry, way too early in the season to be hoping for a Palace win. I'm quite confident we won't be anywhere near a relegation battle this season. A 0-0 draw would be absolutely fine by me - a point dropped by "bottom 12" rivals.

I watched most of the games this weekend, on various channels, BBC, Sky, BT,NBC and Astrosport. The thing that I noticed most about differences between them all (all the build up and half time drivel excluded) was the only broadcaster to actually commentate on the game was the BBC (Even with the numpty Keown adding crap occasionally). The rest were discussing everything but the action on the pitch, and occasionally shouting a particular players name a second or so after they kicked the ball

BBC were several classes above the inane gibbering of the rest, and providing a decent idea of what was going on during the match, rather than banging on relentlessly about how fouled Slippery Jack is, or how packed the schedule is, or what a genius Bielsa is etc

Was nice to have the comentary on, rather than volume turned down.
Such a shame the BBC dontt show more live.

Another game where football shows it’s biggest flaw. Both teams can’t lose. I’d love them to walk away with zero points each but that ain’t in the rules.

Tactics will be interesting though. Palace won’t be able to sit back and hit them on the break because they won’t normally venture past their own halfway line.

Spot on. The same with England games, Mattaface relentlessly talking about shit like Calvert Lewin being a fashion icon.

Mid game, they all rattle on about the pressure on a manager, coming fixtures, plugging Sky or BT's next televised EPL games, transfer policy.

I remember when TV and radio commentators only talked about the action in front of them.

It's not without precedent...

They had to kill 7 hours of time for 5 days.

Loved them, especially the original line up.

I do agree but the quicker we can put distance between us and the bottom 3 the better. You can only really compete in that midtable free-for-all if you've put distance between yourselves and the bottom 3 at an earlier stage as possible.

With breaks for bad light, rain, drinks, ball changes etc as well as gaps between overs

 

[Change at Barnham]

Zaha not in the Palace squad at Burnley as he is self-isolating.

From himself? Should’ve done that at birth.

 

[Sheebo]

So - it’s the battle of undoubtedly the 2 worst footballing sides in the league (Fulham and West Brom far better at trying to play football). As Simster says, way too early to look at even the scum doing us favours, a draw would be fine, but I’m a Brighton fan so will be supporting Burnley in the big game along with millions watching I’m sure...!

Zaha not in the Palace squad at Burnley as he is self-abusing.

Corrected for you
