Bruce needs to change something up, we're terrible currently.

I really want to like Lewis, and I still want him in the side, but honestly I haven't seen anything from him that speaks to the price we paid.

Have to say they deserved that. Cracking finish it was too. Now to see whether we ca actually start playing again.

Shite end to the half. If we give them that much of the ball and that much time in the second half they'll get something from this game.

Whew, we almost played ourselves into an attacking position there before thankfully self correcting and passing it straight back to Darlow.

And we're one nil up after Joelinton laid it on a platter for Almiron who slotted home with less than a minute gone.

Karl, Krafth, Hayden, Clarke Ritchie, Shelvey, Longstaff, Almiron, Lewis, Joe, Wilson Disguised 5, 3, 2 with a 'we're not sick' makeshift central defense.

It's match time, insert some comments about it below thanks.

It doesn't have much in the way of guy eating food in foreign locations but if you can move beyond that The Queen's Gambit is a canny good watch on Netflix.

Don't think it makes you sound like a snowflake. I think the unity of this approach was part of the appeal - ie. Everyone doing it together regardless of your background or experiences. Of course certain people will feel more strongly about issues that may have affected them or those around them directly but if it's only those in that position it will become divisive more than inclusive. Even if some knackers are only doing it for show, better that than open up the potential for more ire and outrage over who is or isn't participating.

It's an interpretation, the initial meaning of racism was the inference or statement of the inferiority of a race. The modern interpretation has expanded that to include more or less any reference to a person's ethnicity, race or religion whether implicitly negative or not.

Good thing you lot weren't involved in his eulogy. *To be fair the Wanless news presenter pun was a good un.

By the sliding scale of social media hyberbole calling something decent on twitter is tantamount to saying it's a fucking shithole.

Wasn't really the winner either, it put them 2 nil up (RM got 1 back). The Jos anticipated a pass from Courtois and passed it into an empty net.

Food for thought.

But nee mind, getting that goal will bring him loads of confidence and 'e'll start banging 'em in from all 'owa now, you just watch n see. The football pundits told me so. They also confirmed what we all, I think, deep down know; Bruce has the club moving in the right direction. Combine those two indisputable facts and we're bound for not just Europe, but European glory.

At half time it felt like we'd had loads of possession for once, turns out I'm just conditioned to us having next to none as we still had only had 42%.

Absolute top shelf finish, assuming there's only the one shelf.

Classic

They should have scored there.

Great block Fernandez.

It's a thing of beauty.

Not impossible, we'll just need Palace outfielders to clearly handle the ball on 14 or 15 separate occassions in the box (spread put across all their players) and then score an own goal or three from a back pass once they're down to 7 or 8.

Agree 100% seems no good in possession, his movement is not good, nor his passing, nor his defending. He' not quick or strong. Playing him seems completely pointless, playing him wide is even worse than that.

This is on at a reasonable time over here (7AM) so I'm in. The line-up gives me little hope except that Wilson is back and it's been a while since we've had one of the unexplainable matches where we look competent.
