Maybe just find the Bantz between her and stelling a bit tiresome, but that's probably because I'm a miserable ****er.

**** Arsenal have plot armour this season

Crystal Palace's central defender Joachim Anderson must have had enough of watching his side's useless forwards failing to find the net and decided to show them how at Villa this afternoon with a neat finish. Unfortunately it was at the wrong end, as our inexorable slide towards the relegation zone continues. The casual observer might not look beyond the fact that we've spend forever in 12th position this year, but most of the sides below us have narrowed the gap by, you know, actually winning a game from time to time. The maths being that winning one and losing the other two out of every three games is more profitable than drawing two and losing the other. Our next three games are against City, Arsenal and Brighton, so the likeliest outcome is that we'll be 5th from bottom by the end of the month, having been leap-frogged by 3 or 4 of the sides below us. Thereafter, most of the remaining games are against other sides in the bottom half of the table, with any number of relegation dog fights. Against sides who do actually know how to score more than once in a blue moon. Apologies in advance if I'm even grumpier than usual by then.

Welcome to the quagmire. Here we have all the malaise and woe that you can or can't handle. Feel right at home.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. Who's your team btw?

Leeds United.

Leeds United.

Good example of what I was talking about. Their win in the new manager's first game is enough to be making up ground on Palace, even though they lose most of their other games. Mind you, their next three fixtures aren't easy.

 

[Uppercut]

Are there any teams below Palace that you genuinely think are better than Palace? Or is it just too close for comfort this late in the season?

I find it hard to answer your first question, and I tend not to look at it in those terms. A month ago I'd have probably said that Southampton and Bournemouth are definitely worse than Palace, but they've performed better recently, so it really is a tough call. If pushed, I'd say that I think that Palace are better defensively than most of them, but much weaker up front. I think they are all much of a muchness, but Palace's ineffectiveness in the final third makes us vulnerable. I suppose we'll get a better idea when Palace play most of them in April and May.

Seeing Man U ship half a dozen never gets old, does it?

Or a lucky seven if it comes to that.

Think today's result has put to bed any notions the title is a three horse race.

 

[Socerer 01]

ahahahaha that was a proper drubbing

 

[Niall]

Going to have to think about it but that was a very hard fought contest between Shaw and Bruno regarding who was the worst player on the pitch, both insanely bad in the second half.

Wout needs binning, blah blah work rate, can't have a striker who offers so little himself.

 

[Socerer 01]

Bruno was pathetic as captain he should be doing more than acting like a petulant rat that only whines and wastes small opportunities

When you set up to defend and then get destroyed in midfield and are 2nd to every lose ball bad things will happen.

United fans , remember this day ..This is your Bronx Tale moment ..Think you can just stroll into our yard like a bunch of bikers hey ..We may be down but we are still European Royalty ..We absolutely dominated you , humiliated you till you were begging us to stop , I'm sure some of you even switched off and checked out long before the final whistle ..You were talking so much **** before the game ,Eras end blah blah blah ..
No matter what you go on to achieve with Ten Hag , remember what we did to you ..7 ****ing goals in a match you thought you had a chance ?...This is Anfield ..YNWA !

 

[anil1405]

Once in a lifetime result. Watching Man U lose is fun any day of the week, and when they lose by 7 goals against your team it's pure dreamland. Great to see Darwin and Gakpo settling down well. Icing on the cake was Firmino's goal and Bruno's sulking.

Roy Keane ripping into Man U players in Allan Border style is another highlight.

 

[MW1304]

Why couldn't they be that ****e against us ffs

He's coasting off the back of scoring loads of penalties in his first 12 months at United.

When he is bad he is really bad, but he has had an ok season tbf, third highest when it comes to chances created and he had a good world cup also. He and Casemiro who was also abysmal need a rest but obviously when the alternatives are so lacking that can't happen.



However despite those caveats, I don't think a team wins a league with him in the side.

Does Gary Bumfluff still think you guys will surely finish above us?
