What sort of team is that pardew..

[mystiroakey]

Very different set up and style. Not bad though tbh, we have had more possession than normal..Murray needs to come off. Gayle in the middle, Zaha on left.

[mystiroakey]

Unbelievable energy on and of the ball..

Good start by pardew. He has thrown caution to the wind. And I don't think we have ever had this much possesion in a match in the Pl since coming up(v a top team).

Kane's goal was clinical and he probally has hard done by on his penalty shout.. But we had more chances(and they should have had a player sent of before) and deserve the win.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Zaha reminds me of when I play as a pro on FIFA, don't pass to anyone else and end up cocking it up

[mystiroakey]

Great impact sub though.. He has that initial burst of speed that allways beats a player.

[westisbest]

At the King power today.
And another poor performance from the villa.
Clueless.
Tough games on the horizon.
We'll keep fighting till its to late.
VTID.
The city is ours.

We played well at the Bridge, unfortunate really. Cabella was the standout & Moussa was always a threat, be surprised if Remi Garde isn't appointed & tries to develop Cabella & plays him more often.

Good result for Palace & Pardew, inevitable really with the new manager boost.

[freemo]

hmmm 1-1 against Swansea, i defo would have taken a point before the start of the game, so a fairly decent result IMO

Are you still confident about Safety There is always one that drops and can see it happening if someone forks out for Moussa.

Tony Pulis' barmy army!

[Guest]

It's Leicester, QPR, Hull, Sunderland, Palace & Villa. 3 from those 6. Nobody will drop from the mid-table positions & WBA are safe with Pulis.

[Mad for Chelsea]

Newcastle should be kicking themselves really. More than matched Chelsea in the first half, but switched off for a few seconds to concede a sloppy goal to a short corner, and Chelsea never looked back, dominating the rest of proceedings to seal an ultimately comfortable win. Pleased to be back on top, obviously.

Can't see Newcastle being relegated. Suspect Pullis will do enough to keep WBA up, and Everton should have too much quality, but given only 5 points separate 12th from bottom could reallistically see any of those teams go down. If you push me, I'd go Leicester, QPR and Burnley, but not with too much conviction.

[Guest]

Newcastle should be kicking themselves really

For all our domination in the first half, you knew the difference would be clinical finishing. You've got Diego Costa, while our finisher is probably contracting Ebola in Africa somewhere.

We'll be fine in avoiding relegation but, unfortunately, we've manoeuvred ourselves into no-man's land in terms of league position for the second year running, which breeds complacency.

[Mad for Chelsea]

OK, have watched the goals again, and changed my mind, slightly. I think on reflection that the first goal is good smart thinking by Willian to take the corner quickly, he spots that Newcastle aren't quite organised (and one of their big defenders is taken out of play next to the corner flag). Still think it's a little dozy from Newcastle though, you see a few players just walking or trotting back when the ball goes out of play, and they just don't react quickly enough. Soft goal to concede for me.

The second goal is obviously class, and does highlight that extra quality that John mentions, but for me Newcastle should be angry at the first goal. Agree Newcastle will be safe, but as John says that'll be two years in a row where they're left fighting for a slightly better place in midtable anonymity. Just feel that that seems to be their level at the moment...

GLAD ALL OVER>>>>>>>????<<<<<>>>>>>


yes i8 am intaxicaTED.

Good night

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Another typically poor goal by an aerial bully thug like Andrew Carroll. We win that game with Song playing, or if we dont get punished by Collins having to go off cos of his head knock even though he got up and was fine. His man from the corners before is the one who scores. Little rules like that need a look over. Happy though, draw away at a team we're competing with in the table, 4 points from Swansea overall. Would be happy to finish 8th, and I see it as us and Swansea finishing 8th and 9th in either order.

[mystiroakey]

song quit international football = why?

brains

PL > AFCON

if palace keep winning- jedi and bolasie do not start = stock <

[super_realist]

I see Champagne "sityeation" Charlie Nicholas has apologised for saying Fernando and Fernandinho look the same. Why? What's wrong with saying that? They do look alike, do play on the same side and have similar names.

Gerrard looks very like Xabi Alonso, should I apologise for making the comparison?

[mystiroakey]

First is racist,

second one makes you sound blind.


What was i posting last night?

[super_realist]

How is it racist to say two guys look the same if they are black, but not if they are white?

If you are watching guys playing football on the same side from a commentary position it's easy to get mixed up with which is which.

Perhaps Charlie should have said "they look similar" or "it's easy to mistake them" but come on, it isn't racist to say someone looks the same as someone else. If they'd been white, no one would be making him apologise. It's pathetic.

What if a black commentator had said the same of two white players? Would anyone care? No.


Good win for Palace last night Oakey, first time I've watched MOTD in months.

[mystiroakey]

it just is mate.

we learnt that one ages ago.. we know it may cause offence even though if you didnt know , Then i suppose it isnt racist.

its like a white man using the N word.

we know the rules..

[super_realist]

That's not an answer Oakey. It sounds far more like people looking for racist overtones, "just incase"

Like I said, who'd care if a black commentator said the same of two white players?

[mystiroakey]

no one would care- as i said we live by a set of rules(white dudes)

you either take notice of them or you dont and come of sounding racist.

[mystiroakey]

[super_realist]

Sorry, that's ridiculous. Are you saying you've never got anyone mixed up, white or black?

[mystiroakey]

no i have done loads of times.

[super_realist]

no i have done loads of times.

You must be racist then

[mystiroakey]

yep i must be.

every one is to a certain extent- admit it/embrace it/ move on

get over it.

They do look the same, so what on earth is he apologising for?!

[Guest]

Embarrasing stuff. Would it be happening if he said Cambiasso & Konchesky look the same. No chance. Whoever complained about this comment is pathetic. Never racist in a billion years.

[Guest]

Unfortunately, that's the world we live in now. You can see why this comment has been perceived as having racist undertones by some easily offended people, he was just inviting trouble really. People, generally, are easily offended & go out of their way to make sure you know about it these days. It's not a racist comment but, Sky obviously don't want to be involved in an escalating story regarding this matter, so forced an early apology after the game. Move on

[Dolphin Ziggler]

No Chesney today, see if Ospina can light up this game

[compelling and rich]

not sure why bigger clubs havent been in for begovic, already showing his quality today. and would easily improve the likes of arsenal and liverpool

[mystiroakey]

What a turn of pace Rosicky has..

Oh..

Goal.. Deserved. Arsernal all over Stoke.

[mystiroakey]

Kiss of death mate!!

But yeah the first two saves were immense.

not sure he had much chance with that one, fault of his defenders for the terrible marking

[Dolphin Ziggler]

United likely to have Falcao and Valdes on the bench today. Liverpool started Borini and Mignolet yesterday. Kinda funny

[Duty281]

Who is getting sent off first, then - Giroud or Shawcross?

Or both after an exchange of punches?
