Strange that the players have to walk through the palace goons on their way to and from the changing rooms .
In the Isthmian league this would not be allowed and clubs are required to have a retractable tunnel to prevent fans and players clashing .

I really don't buy the narrative that they were so much better than us. We had more of the ball and more shots on target, the goal they scored was a penalty which was 100% a penalty and aside from the Ayew chance they didn't do much, we had a similar chance with Welbeck who should've scored as well and we always looked a threat at set pieces. A draw was the fairest result and I can't help but think with a full strength team we get the three points.

The irony being is how they sneered when we were saying similar things in the early days of Potter. That was one of our early Potter games by them - better pressing and some pretty stuff until the final third. They had an xG of 1.37 and we had 0.65. Hardly a battering - especially given the penalty was 0.75 of theirs. They have every right to be pleased that their style is evolving from the turgid Hodgson stuff but they are a long way from being good.
No, no no....don't be coming on here with your calm and rational views. You're doing this all wrong. [MENTION=25756]Se20[/MENTION] will be putting you on ignore.
Worth a watch

Not a single ‘woooooooah’ to be heard - proper English football atmosphere there from the better set of fans again…
What a great point. As far as game was concerned both sides were poor and until penalty had 0-0 all over it. Both sides cancelled each other out. Never seen Zaha contribute so little which was credit to us. I think most neutrals would have turned off before end.
Without Bissouma we were crying out for a ball winner to win ball and pass to midfielder further forward. Never happened. Could see why Burns went off but could never understand why Alzate came on. I have seen Moder play defensive role for Country and either Gross or Lalana could have been pushed further forward. Even stranger was when Moder came on seemed to play wide right.
Will be interesting to see line up against Arsenal. Certainly dont fancy Burn v Saka again.

Wish they'd put the whole of NSC 'on ignore' lol

Remember that Burn was playing wing back when he got roasted by Saka.
We have Cuccerella and March for that now. I personally think Burn should be our starting left centre back. Far less likely to be skinned by the Traore's and Saka's of this world

Biss's comment about THAT goal:
Much as I love Biss, that cabling makes me shudder!

Pretty poor game, nothing much from either team (despite palace claims they were some sort of prime barca 2010 display). Was a bit like the Brentford game but would say they threatened even less than them.
One silly tackle from Tross and one exquisite through ball and finish from Veltman and Maupay. Considering who we were missing take it happily and move on to next week.

Came across this clip of the travelling army.
Our Ecuadorian Pal Ronald was in the home end (just) - go to around 7.45 in this vid. The premature Palace goading, followed by the noise/limbs is fantastic

that was rather special....
Epic. We were at the other end of the stand - watching a middle-aged bellend in the stand behind the goal giving it the biggun

The most curious thing..
That's a terrible view of the pitch. Not at all redeemed by the sight of the half naked, fully tattooed twat part way through.
