Palace game v Arsenal free on the tellybox Saturday lunchtime

[Triggaaar]

Lovely start. It'll now be interesting to see if Palace want to just keep it at 1 nil, or try and fight back.

Palace should be winning arguably.

It would be a pretty weak argument. Arsenal should have had a penalty in the first half.

There's a huge amount of karma for all the cheating penalties from last year.

It would be karma if the decision was wrong.

How so? It was stonewall

Parish missed the goal, was still dealing with his hairspray at HT..

Possibly. Bannan and chamack had two good chances

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

They are playing fairly well.

I quite like the ground, but then I am a sucker for old grounds and haven't set foot in it for many years.

I know what you mean, but then I remember, it wasn't the grounds that I loved, it was going to the football (less sanitised) with my mates. Yes I miss that, but not getting stuck behind some rusty beam with a partially obscured view.

You are both right. However I am glad they are suffering through giving needless penalties away.

How many chances did Arsenal have in the first half?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

As good as those? One maybe?

I've been flicking between channels so may have missed a sitter

 

[Brixtaan]

My god it's true! Thanks for the lead, i cannot believe i'm watching Premiership football live at home. England v Aus next up, not a good day for my children

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

There is no way I would pay the extra for this.

It's terrible coverage

Problem is its not real Premier League, one of the sides is already in the Championship..

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Not convinced that was a foul, let alone a red.

 

[pasty]

Well I suppose that could even things up a bit for Palace

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Tis was a foul.

Not a red though, him and flamini out for utd game?

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

Seriously, RED? Debateable foul, let alone clear goal scoring opportunity?

Disagree...imo Darren Fletcher an excellent commentator

 

[saafend_seagull]

Owen is the worst commentator I've ever heard.

 

[Acker79]

Never a red. I wonder how much of it is sympathy for lowly palace? Would he have given a red if it was a southampton's instead of palace?

Does Michael Owen realise it was Chamakh that was running through? Chamakh didn't even have the ball under control, he was too busy trying to should arteta away.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Chamakh barged in to Arteta, not the other way round. Resulting in a tangle of feet. Granted it looked like a foul initially.

To be fair, if you hadn't seen any football on the tv for the last 25 years, you'd think it was ok.
