go for the win but, white's hoof was mindless
Awesome. Feel free to ignore me as I’ll do you. Cheers.
Can’t fault them for pressing for the win last night.
I think you’re right though. Unfortunately we’re now at the business end of the season, where we may have to fight and take these points as we’re not safe. Real shame some of those draws we had earlier in the season weren’t wins. Would be much more comfortable now.

Oh dear.
I can laugh about it. It'll make the next time we beat them sweetener. That's football for you, thank god.
Yes but you won't register on their forum and post like a 12 year old because you have a nice life with friends.

Is it still to soon to have a sensible conversation about the game?

Agree Lalana and Wellbeck have got a lot to prove.
Zequiri looked ok on his last outing and has disappeared (not on pitch) , Khadra got picked and also disappeared. Personally I would have had Connolly on , if (i know a big if) he scores his confidence on the pitch rockets.
From what we've seen so far they have proved that we have spaffed a lot of money on two players still living on past glories (and one of whom has a note from their mother that they should be excused games).

I found this exclusive photo from inside the Palace dressing room after the game, Roy addressing the team:

You probably want to time such a poll for the 80th minute of a match rather than once it’s finished. I’m guessing the benefit of hindsight might at this stage influence the results. GP might even vote differently now !

I think I'm capable of that now.
My view is that Cahill was the difference.
3 superb blocks which at least two would have been definite goals.
Reminded me very much of the heroics that Dunk and Duffy used to perform for us week in week out.
We had a number of smash and grabs not dissimilar to that game in our first 2 seasons in the Prem.
In truth many other clubs have worked out that is the best way to play against us.
Few have had the ability to put away goals with such aplomb though.
You didn't deserve it, but when it comes off like that, you just have to accept it for what it is.

They didn't win it .. we lost it by not capitalising on our near-total dominance and usual **** finishing.

I wouldn't agree with that at all.
Lallana skied one, but had two other chances brilliantly blocked.
We don't have enough invention to unpick a really determined packed defence.
And we don't ever seem, to get a flukey deflection to score from 25 shots.
Mateta's goal was a great finish, but nutmegging two players. with a backheel, to score?
There's a big chunk of luck when that comes off.
I voted 'snap you hand off for a draw' in the prematch poll
Are you familiar with the concept of disruptive technology? What wins EPL games right now isn't just skill and effort, it is zen-like carpe diem. The flash of brilliance. We can do it and have done it, but not often enough and our downfall is we too easily slip into an easy rhythm and lose our invention. The two Palace goals were beautifully disruptive, and reflect a mentality that remains difficult for us to emulate. The disruptive mind set that is always prepared to seize an opportunity. Palace aren't intrinsicaly better than us at it, but the were on the night.
Let's see whether Big Sam has instilled any of it into his blob heads.....my guess is he has.

For zen-like carpe diem/brilliance plus any other pretentious nonsense see good old fashioned dumb luck. Most days we would have won that match comfortably.

Up the Albion!
Still not over it. Hope the players are better at dealing with it than me!
