Legit theory why we played badly today...

[Ali_rrr]

assuming they were new and not broken in, i think there's something to that. did they used to have the apprentices wear in boot, along with cleaning them?

They get their own boots bought for them. Well, 2 pairs that they want.

Ulloa was the only one wearing different boots to those he normally wears.

I think he might have been wearing wellingtons.

Did anyone check the ball was properly pumped up?

 

[Bladders]

Or the payers minds are on next seasons new Nike shirt so they're not playing for the current one

....that's what I heard anyway

Too late now, it's in orbit!

 

[Dan Aitch]

The grass was too long.

 

[Luke93]

Something wasn't quite right? Maybe it was a mixture of overwatered grass, too warn temperature and the ball not being pumped enough?

 

[brightn'ove]

if a professional footballer doesn't know how to soften their new boots they don't deserve to be one.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I heard that one of the ball boys is a Palace fan and tampers with the ball like they do in cricket so it doesn't perform aerodynamically.

Should get back the old classic predators n boot out these ridiculous fancy coloured ones!!

Reminds me of that classic occasion where at half time in an England game, Gazza was claiming to Lawrie McMenemy that the ball was crap. (cannot remember when I saw this - may have been that documentary about Graham Taylor)
