Official Match Thread ****Crystal Palace -V- Brighton and Hove Albion****

[somerset]

a fairly simple one. He's f***ing INJURED.

Do you know that?... He was up for selection a day or two ago.

Get Barnes and CMS off, Hoskins and Dobbie on, they need game time!

Gus will give them 2 mins yet on tuesday he gave CMS 30 mins, Gus must be consistent.

 

[Bladders]

I know it's tough with 10 men but this has been gutless

 

[kevo]

Cheer up everyone - it's the featured game on the Football League Show later.....

 

[glasfryn]

And here!

i HAVE JUST DONE ANOTHER ONE

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Talk about giving the game to the opposition. A man sent off and 2 penalties.....i think i'll log off and avoid the inevitable binfest that's on the horizon...

 

[kevtherev]

Dunk and Barnes..... Its just too funny,..... Gus has some interview to handle now.... Will it be the I am going home drivel he sometimes come out with.

Probably,,,,it will be everyone's fault from the referee, to defenders not controlling the ball, to strikers missing chances. He won't say sorry to 3,000 fans who have spent a fortune close to Xmas and he will say, he is off to play golf...

 

[ffsmurray]

Stone wall penalty. Greer should be fined for that, what the f*** was he thinking!

Exactly!! Brighton fouling our players like mad, yet many here are saying its cheating Palace, you just have to admit our silky attackers are too quick for Brighton's slow thugish defending bringing them down. Brighton just being ripped apart by a superior team, stop clutching at straws blaming the ref.

 

[FKalinx]

Completely outplayed. No passion. Poyet should have valued Murray higher (i know this argument has been made lots so won't expand it here). But this game shows just why we need a big striker up front. That aside, what does Hoskins need to do to get a game? This is just the game for him, especially with 10 men. We need to hold the ball up and wait for reinforcements.

Poyet has got it wrong, very wrong today. Hate to say it, but can see Palace doing what we did in L1 two seasons ago. They have a very balanced side. Hope I am wrong though.

 

[miffy6]

From the start our players looked like they didn't give two shit's.

 

[sjamesb3466]

I see why people say that IS a pen, but if it is, there should be ten every game.

Have to disagree. Greer was not looking at the ball and pushed Murray in the chest with both hands. Sunday league stuff and not worthy of a captain.

 

[Cars]

All we can so is return the favour at the Amex next year.

 

[Princes Bold]

I am, with a fantatsic 4G package, technology increasing and enhancing the traditional fans entertainment.

Is there a fire drill at the away fans end ?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Have we been that bad? It certainly sounds that way. Was Dunk's red justified?

This place is going to be f***ing SHIT until March when we inevitably get done by Palace AGAIN and gets even worse.

 

[sydney]

Did you tune in late or something? We have had 10 men for most of the game, you seem unaware of this.

no mate been here since the beginning.........no defensive cover on the bench away from home.....criminal. intimating that aea and wb were almost certain to play when clearly they never were criminal. shit day for brighton fans worldwide mate......

 

[Fungus]

On a crap afternoon, this made me laugh:
Lge2 Torquay 2 - 1 Dag & Red Ogogo 80' (og)

 

[kevtherev]

Bringing Barnes back so we are tighter at the back and changing a winning side, clearly a mistake. But then most of us knew that anyway, the only way to beat Palace was always going to be to play an attacking side and take the game to them.

 

[Hyperion]

Nope. That is it with me and accpeting Poyet' silly little Subbuteo game. When ever there has been a big game we have played like absolute wankers. CB's need investment, well done though Poyet for letting to decent CB's go in the summer. Poyet for some reason does not want to play a conventional 2 up front, which is part of the reason why we are not scoring enough f***ing goals,still glad we can pass the ball 2,415 times a game though. I will leave the rest of the blind carry on believing

 

[pishhead]

If Hoskins didn't get injured in the summer Both him and Murray could've been appearing on opposite sides.

 

[Cars]

I also hope palace go up so we don't have to be f***ing embarrassed like this again!
