Palace lose 1-0 to West Brom at home. Not sure how that happened when they're "undoubtedly a top 8 side", they've got the self-proclaimed 3rd best footballer in the world and a manager that their chairman admits will be hard to keep hold of when Real Madrid come knocking.

And an opposition manager who freely admits that they need at least 5 new players in to be any good.

Who would have thought that starting the season with one striker and a squad so thin that a bloke they're selling is on the bench, would be an issue.

Man Citeh, Peps debut and loads of empty seats and as quiet as a morgue.
Only the penalty and resulting goal got them going.
Shocking.

Dropped Hart though, probably because he just hoofs the ball which is probably just as much the reason as being a bit dodgy recently.

Whenever I have seen him I can't help screaming at him not to hoof the ball. The Poyet influence has stayed with me :smile:

Norwich fans booing at just a point.
Would have thought they'd remember being down here two years ago.
Relegated teams have great 'support'.

Pathetic wasn't it. I wasn't overly impressed with Norwich. I think their win at Blackburn was more to do with Blackburn's shitness as evidenced by their result today.

Ok, the Burnley loss and Boro draw were not exactly great.

Unbelievable support at Newcastle for championship game 52000

See how it dwindles if they are not nailed on for promotion (though some think they already are).

They are all turning up expecting 5-0 drubbings. 2nd game in and we already have boos and jeers from Newcastle and Norwich fans.

Entitled *****, absolutely loving we seem to be flying under the radar again, at least in regards to fan opinion. Will make it all the sweeter.
