Crystal Palace Build Up

[Irishnev]

Wow we could actually end up 4th if utd & spurs win their 2 games in hand! Didn’t realise spurs were that close.

But good win today - massive 3 points.

Outside of prize money 2nd or 4th is no difference as they both go into the group stage of the Champions League

There you go.

He cant be far off scoring against every team in the League? He hasnt scpred against who... I can only think of Man U of the top of my head.

Swansea and West Brom too I think

Doesn't the 4th place have to play a play-off?
Surely cuts down on pre-season preparation?

Enjoyed the game (though not a great performance). Mane, Salah, VVD and Robertson were good. TAA better second half.

I'm thrilled with the win. We had to dig deep and despite not playing very well we did the job. However, I'm going to be negative here by saying TAA worries me big time. Zaha, skinned*him every time and I hate to think what Sane will do to him. I think he's a good*young talent but defensively he is poor. Hodgson clearly targeted him after seeing how Maureen's tactic worked against him. For*me if Clyne is fit, I'd play him against City.

How **** is Benteke?

I didn't think that he would be as bad for anyone else as he was for us, but he was ****ing awful today, I haven't seen much of him at Palace but how the hell is he making such a good living as a professional footballer

Vital win, as we have the points in the bag. Now it's up those around us to win their games in hand.

It's amazing how simple football can be at times. Pass quickly, and players move into space, and suddenly, you create opportunities.

I hope Lallana hasn't done a hammy.

Top 4 all go through to the group stages.

[Buzzo]

We cant batter everyone 5 nil.

That is the sort of performance that if we keep finding them will win us titles.

Winning ugly is pretty sweet.

[Rigadon]

Benteke's finishing... so poor (he's usually lethal against Liverpool)

[Maxiedge]

Great win that. Buzzin.

That’s a tough away fixture and, naturally, they had all their best players on the pitch.

When he played for us.... I absolutely hated it. He just isnt the sort of footballer I like and he isnt the sort of forward we've ever had. remember Jurgen going absolutely mental at him for being lazy and not moving.

However, add in to that he is ****ing ****e. He always plays like a Centre Back who has been thrown up front for the last 5 mins.

Awful player.

[Fosterbloke]

I'm well made up with that result. The game itself was a bit **** but the goals were good, especially Salah's. He just takes the piss with deft body movement and control, just like....
















Peter Crouch

Yep I’d rather see 3 CB’s against City tbh. TAA is a worry against the good sides isn’t he.

11 years ago today since Crouchie got that hat trick.
