Howay

Fastest player on the pitch today was wor Paul.

He's a class above everyone on the pitch most weeks (including when we play top sides), there was a piece of play when he picked up the ball in the centre circle under heavy pressure and he just switched feet and calmly took it round the bloke who was climbing all over him and turned it into an attacking move he's just quality. I think he'll enjoy having Shelvey behind him as it will allow him to stay further forward and not have to worry about getting the ball, if Townsend comes in then I think it'll be the end of him being wasted out wide as well (even though I'm confident McClaren has figured that out now).

Think we've shown in recent weeks that the teams high up the table are nowt special, have to deal with Ighalo who had our defenders number in the first game we played them. If we can play like we did against Man Utd and that first half I think we will pick up points.

Aye he'll do well with a personality like Adebeyor, that's not going to be a fucking disaster at all.

Aye bitter cockney pricks tbh, it was a little daft of Shelvey but there wasn't a lot in it I think the fact his arm went up afterwards is what they're trying to use to imply it was an elbow but it wasn't. If he gets a ban for that football can get to fuck, especially after Sissoko got a foul against him for absolutely nothing at all today.

Aye to be fair Perez was blowing out his arse after 70 mins so he needed to come off, if we get Townsend we wont see Gouffran play whether he goes or not tbh.

Good to see Pardew still has no idea how to do anything except get fucking howked by Man City, no goals in 5 games now for Palace, enjoy the freefall from now to the end of the season you fucking dickheads.

I'd like us to offer a bit more money and try and get Ben Davies from Spurs as well, he'd be a big improvement over the shite we have at left back.

Ref didn't want to blow his whistle there. Good win, didn't expect it but the lads done well, Shelvey gave us exactly what we've been missing in midfield. Winny was quality again, Sissoko and Mitro also played well but desperately need to practice their finishing.

The injury time has been fucking mental for our games this season, Janmaat was down but surely only 3 mins injury time max.

Gouffran coming on, Aarons on the bench.

Should have been 3-1 that like

Saivet for Dummett, no doubt Colback to Lb

Should never pass across your own box like that ffs.

He's 21, in a brand new country + league and has scored 5 goals in 17 games in a poor side, give the bloke a chance.

Could have been 3 or 4 up there, really played well that first half and Shelvey is having a good game. I can already see a partnership forming between Shelvey and Janmaat, if we could go and get a LB with similar attacking threat to Janmaat then Shelvey will get a lot of joy passing either side.

Shelvey has been class so far, quality ball to Janmaat there. Good ball in from Janmaat too.

Shelvey with a good pass to help set up Perez's goal there, cracking finish by Perez too mind.

4-1

I think the lad just needs chances, he doesn't get that many a game really. I know he has missed some 'easy' chances in recent games but it might be the only one he gets all match. If we go out and get a LB and a winger I'll be pleased with the window.

3-1 Spurs, massive deflection so I've no doubt the tramps will be whinging about luck without mentioning their two deflected goals last match.

Aye, fucking madness if he has moved him out wide but I think you're right. I think it's the same team set up the same way just Shelvey in for Tiote, from his comment of bedding in players I didn't expect Saivet to be starting so it's pretty much the expected starting line up. Is Mbabu injured? He's not even on the bench now.

Probably the only time in those years that a corner wasn't aimed at Mike Williamson, I've never seen a side aim so many set pieces at one bloke only for him to fail to score or get any assists.

How the fuck did Lloris not save that? That Pickford lad for the mackems is having a good game mind, looks better than that useless lanky Herman Munster bloke they usually have in nets.
