Problem is whatever it is they've assembled behind him. reeks of defoe at sunderland. it's ok saying "he'll score the goals to keep them up", but if he's literally the only guy scoring any goals they're going down. and thank god. still think we should relegate everyone who finishes below us every season. all c unts and all shite.

Thankfully the rest of the team got him out of jail in a sense. Brighton actually had more chances when 11v 11. We held out quite well in the end.

Knockaert did nothing wrong at all yesterday, but our fans booing him fired him up. He was desperate for a goal and putting himself about way more than any of their other players. That's actually quite worrying for Brighton; he's not going to be that fired-up every week, and Brighton had nothing when he was subbed-off. The problem is that our fans who gave him grief would probably throw a wobbly if he scored and celebrated in front of them. There'd be calls to ban him left, right and centre. As you said, melts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you're any different from any other set of fans. Most clubs have fans that are happy to give it out for the flimsiest of reasons but cry like babies when they get it back from players.

Speaking as someone who lives near there, the area is dogshit, the ground is dogshit and the club itself is totally uninspiring. I like Palace away but..... I'm only in that area once a year The view is awful but I've always enjoyed it as an away day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only here for family and work. You have such a better quality of life In Leicester. What my 2 bed flat cost me I could have a beautiful 5 bed detached in the midlands.

StanSP Posted 27 August 2017 Share Posted 27 August 2017 Need to be careful what we wish for when it comes to Palace and their poor start. What we wouldn't want to happen is them to continue their horrendous start, sack De Boer, get a new boss and then get good again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 27 August 2017 Share Posted 27 August 2017 Nobody mentioned Bournemouth yet? Also without a win yet. Howe will be safe for now still. I think they had it coming against Manchester City, too cautious in the second half. And then complaining about the referee playing more than the minimum of time added on indicated. Five minutes extra doesn't mean the referee is obliged to whistle after those five minutes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true but when you consider how every 90 minutes gets about 6 mins total added time - when in reality it probably should be 20-25 mins. having injury time last more than 100% longer than planned is weird.

Footballwipe Posted 27 August 2017 Share Posted 27 August 2017 Could be said of most grounds, most teams and most early kick offs, but the atmosphere of the WBA-Stoke game really is the pits. There's absolutely nothing aside from the odd Stoke attempt. It's sucking the life out of an already crap game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 27 August 2017 Share Posted 27 August 2017 At the risk of sounding like a standard Premier league arse hole fan, why is Stoke WBA on the tv when Chelsea are playing Everton? Who the **** would ever choose to watch Stoke play WBA over any other prem fixture? That's literally the worst possible fixture in the league.

It's down to the quota filling they need to do, and the packages in the round. You're bang right, I'd much rather have Chelsea-Everton on my TV right now. The game should've been played yesterday but for the Europa qualifier. Ironically, it's played at the same time to cater for international audiences! In my old age I'm becoming far more selective with the games I watch just from the sheer amount of free time it takes. Chelsea-Everton would've been a cracking starter before Liverpool-Arsenal, but we get this bag of crap instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I can think of is as part of the TV contracts every team has to be on every available TV spot at least once and as it's a bank holiday weekend people have better things to do on a Sunday lunchtime that watch any football. Therefore Sky thought if you're going to put Stoke and WBA on tele at this time might as well be now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
