The Palace Fan 3,405 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Just for reference, Rodri averages 8 fouls per booking. Under Pep, Fernandinho averaged 6 fouls per booking. So in addition to financial doping they're essentially allowed to foul for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted 1,776 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 You could argue neither in itself is a stonewaller but I've never seen as clear a case of an "orange" - ie. you're on thin ice/one more and you're off - followed by another pretty much orange.

Home form will probably be what keeps you safely up. i don't think you will be holding on this season, I think maybe you could even push to win the bottom half table. i think an 11th place would be a stellar season. Not sure about the home form comment. We've already wasted 3 of the 8 most winnable home games without a single point off Fulham, Wolves and Luton. To be on single figures after having those three and Bournemouth at home and Sheffield United away in our first 8 games is a rancid effort overall.

Administrator Stan 18,394 Posted October 8, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted October 8, 2023 Wooow how did Kovacic not get two yellows?! Insane. At least one of those is a straight red anyway. That is disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,405 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Anyone get the impression that Oliver may have been encouraged to keep 22 on the pitch to avoid controversy? We know that was always Webb's approach to high profile games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, his was worse and he made no contact with the ball at all. Hateful these referees I swear.

The Palace Fan 3,405 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Complete change of conversation but Crystal Palace did a nice tribute this weekend for the poor girl who lost her life in a senseless knife attack getting off the bus in Croydon Town Centre. I have wanted to go on a rant about how I wish London had a mayor who actually cared about reducing crime after seeing how much this incident really affected the people of Croydon. But this isn't the place, and I'm proud to see that my club still has a close connection to the community it represents. We may never win anything in my lifetime but if Crystal Palace keep that connection along with its core values when it comes to developing local players with a manager that gets 'it' I'll be happy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragic, but fair play to Palace. What I also think it will do or help with is make official look into it as football is good at engaging community concerns.

Watkins header hit the post in the last moments of 13-14 mins of 2nd half stoppage time. Similar performance from them as Vs Man City last week. Dawson everywhere he was needed. I think your boys, our boys and Brighton are very similar in quality and weaknesses, certainly all three clubs are capable of making a run for top 5.

Your home form has been patchy, but when you get into that run of form, Goodison is a hard place to play, conversely it can be a detriment to Everton if they are playing badly and the fans turn on them. I think Dyche will do enough to get you out of that survival struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
