If we play heavy metal football, do Palace play classical?

Also very good, obviously. More than one team can start well you know...

Oh no absolutely I agree, although you'd imagine how it is being portrayed that Spurs where runaway leaders (as I said it's been said by the BBC it would be "Spursy" for them to finish fifth at this point)

Wasn't that how Wenger described his Arsenal team?

So if we are Heavy Metal, and Arsenal are classical, I would say Palace footbally is more akin to a man farting into a trumpet

Palace lost Zaha, and their best two players are crocked. Of the rest, they’re mostly pretty awful.

Spuds are 5 points clear (in October) and if you fancy their chances of winning the thing, they’re 10/1.

Can't give a pen for that

I've had to turn it off. The Owl steadfastly refusing to get his players to close the goalkeeper down was driving me crazy.

25% possession in a home game. It felt like at least half of the Spurs possession was the goalkeeper and two central defenders just standing on it while Palace's players watched.

Worse corner than Aspas.

Rob Dylan · « **Reply #87 on:** October 27, 2023, 09:45:42 pm »

Nothing will have changed after this weekend. City, Arsenal and us will all win and Spurs will just be two points ahead again.

smicer07 · « **Reply #88 on:** October 27, 2023, 09:48:43 pm »

Roy still hasn't changed formation or started pressing the keeper.

WorldChampions · « **Reply #89 on:** October 27, 2023, 09:48:52 pm »

Spurs have looked ropey when pressed in defense all season. So big brain Hodgson does the complete opposite.

Didn’t watch the game, just saw the score and they got 2 goals with 1 shot on target

When your luck's in your luck's in I spose!

VDV looks a player, shame we didn't take the plunge.

Too little too late anyway

It's a handball

Wow. Sorry that's handball for me.

Maddison needs to shut up tho

WorldChampions · « **Reply #100 on:** October 27, 2023, 09:55:40 pm »

Clearly down off the chest. At best it brushed his arm maybe. Just give the goal FFS, not like it matters.

Nonsense, they're amazing, no one could have done a better job after 10 games than Postecoglu.

Caligula? · « **Reply #102 on:** October 27, 2023, 09:56:15 pm »

The game needs to be played until the 116thr minute for that. Like Spurs - Sheffield.

The North Bank · « **Reply #103 on:** October 27, 2023, 09:57:25 pm »

Fun last 3 minutes

smicer07 · « **Reply #104 on:** October 27, 2023, 10:00:02 pm »

Really early offside flag there.

Bellend. How's he not scored.

Fuck sake, got away with it there spurs .

Win our next two and we're above Spurs before they play next.

Absolutely everything is going their way at the moment - crazy decisions, OGs, late late goals, no injuries, no midweek games.

But the bit people are missing is their fixtures as well - aside from Arsenal (which can always be mad anyway) and City, they have every other top 10 team at home in the first half of the season. That's a lot of tough aways to come later for them.

I reckon they could be top, or near the top, at Christmas, but struggling for top 4 by the end of the season. Probably not a bad idea to bet on them now, then cash out later when their odds come in.

If you were talking about us last season when we were top I'd agree we were very lucky. This season I think we've deserved most of the points we've got. The Liverpool game was the only one I think we were fortunate with.

No idea how that Palace goal was allowed though. Another VAR cracker.

keano7 · « **Reply #111 on:** October 27, 2023, 10:16:26 pm »

As it stands, the top 10 are miles clear of the bottom 10 this season. Only Wolves on the odd occasion and Brentford (if they had an eligible Toney) could upset the apple cart.

rushyman · « **Reply #112 on:** October 27, 2023, 10:17:46 pm »

Spurs being buoyed by their league position giving them extra motivation and momentum

A league position they have been put in by inept officials

Ah well, the fall is going to be extra sweet

Haggis36 · « **Reply #113 on:** October 27, 2023, 11:00:16 pm »

They’ve played 3 top half teams. They beat a turbogash United at home, celebrated a historic draw against Arsenal and beat us (with only 9 men) via a last minute own goal in one of the most corrupt refereeing displays you’re ever likely to see. The commentator on the stream I was watching tonight kept talking about it being a “statement” win. A narrow victory against a shite Palace side missing their two best players, where they needed another own goal and created next to nothing all evening. What statement?

Let’s see how they get on when they have a couple more games against sides who can actually play football.

absolutely if ever there was a false league position it is this one, they certainly aren't dominating games.

They also have the added advantage of not being in Europe this year.

Part of me though would find it hilarious if they were to win something this season after Sir Harold fucked off to Bayern!

Robinred · « **Reply #115 on:** October 27, 2023, 11:14:03 pm »

Old Roy gets a bad press in here, but fair play to him - he batted back the inane questions posed by the SKY interviewer, by politely inferring they made no sense to him. He was right, and more managers ought imho, call out the utter pointlessness of so much of the post-match nonsense.

spider-neil · « **Reply #116 on:** October 28, 2023, 06:07:13 am »

Next three for Spurs, Chelsea at home, Wolves away, Villa at home.
Let’s see how they deal with that.

FiSh77 · « **Reply #117 on:** October 28, 2023, 07:02:45 am »

Hope they keep going, their squad isn't great and the intensity will catch up with them around March time, if not earlier, as they don't have enough to go head to head with the cheats over 9 months, the knobheads, including those on here, will say they bottled it when in reality there's realistically only us who might be able to break 90 points and that's what's needed these days

We need more people to wake up to what Abu Dhabi have done, maybe then something will happen cos at the moment the PL case is gonna drag on for years, wanting this lot and Arsenal to fail every week is no better then the Ev or mancs saying "anyone but Liverpool"

Zlen · « **Reply #118 on:** October 28, 2023, 07:18:08 am »

The only thing that annoys me about Spurs is that it was supposed to be us on top of the table. Deservedly so. Otherwise, who cares. They’ll melt away like snow under heavy stream of warm piss. As they always do. Angelic Positiveclue will shamelessly complain about referees, much lauded Maddison will do what he did to Leicester and give up, their fans will ramble about Kane never being replaced and everyone will just turn their attention elsewhere.
