Whitey Grandad

Playing negative football with no ambition to score. Far too slow and predictable.

Desperate times lead to desperate measures.

Such statistics are meaningless. Palace have had a good run and shouldn't be compared with just one specific team especially since three points of that jump in difference are down to them beating us.

There are such cases but he's a young player and for his future career prospects he needs to consider his behaviour very carefully.

Good point. And very tempting 🤪

It suddenly occurred to me today that maybe I shouldn’t be too keen on staying up. I don’t enjoy losing most of our games and there’s no fun for me in staring at the bottom of the table trying to work out all the permutations. I rather fancy the idea of a league without VAR and TV schedules changing the match dates and kickoff times.

Incredible. 4-2 at full time. Somehow I’m very pleased for them. Was Romeu captain?

He's under contract. Not going anywhere without our say-so.

You can try but it's not his yacht any more. Last time I saw it was in Málaga harbour a couple of weeks ago.

His record proves otherwise.

“Trip or attempt to trip” He stumbled because he was trying to avoid the keeper. A penalty is a reasonable decision.

And an indecent keeper?

Is Bednarek likely to play? I know it wasn’t officially a concussion injury but I have seen a comment in a newspaper that he needs a couple more days.

I like Moussa and I think he adds variety and effort. Elyonoussi however…

That’s because it weakens the midfield and invites the opposition into your final third and penalty are. The result is inevitable.

Sounds just like this place.

Reminds us of the famous Rodney Marsh story, It has been reported that the England manager Alf Ramsey told him "I'll be watching you for the first 45 minutes and if you don't work harder I'll pull you off at half time," to which Marsh replied: "Crikey, Alf, at City all we get is an orange and a cup of tea."

And Ken Baily 😳

I beg your pardon. I think it’s only ever used by the fans themselves.

Charlie looked pretty pissed off himself, sitting in the dugout.

A great player now. Could be one of the world’s greatest. Can’t last 90 minutes. Apparently.

It’s been Cherries since time immemorable [sic]

4 from 6 now, isn’t it?

Is that the same Pickford who ‘let’ four goals go past him at the same stadium from 5 shots on target?

xGP 😅
