Palace v Villa: Will the groundhog remain?

I was thinking of the one by The Woodman, on The High Street. At least once a month there would be a car in it

My boy has just rang to say that on his way home from school the traffic was slow and there was police on South Norwood High Street, it would appear the Villa have arrived early and tried to take the Palace fans pub "The Albion".

Seeing the line up I expect a win. That's a good, attacking lineup with good players. The downfall? Weimann doesn't track back. Luckily he's on the right so Hutton being the beast he is cover for him

I've gone 1-1 on my predictions list.

Why has Sanchez been dropped ?

I can only assume it's because he's still struggling to get up to speed with the league (by his own admission)

Sounds about right from the way he's looked so far, still a good player in there.

Sanchez didn't actually have a job to do. All he seemed to do the last few game was watch a midfield runner for about 10 yards and then passed him on the back four. Not criticising him because he did that very nicely but there shouldn't be a place for that in a team. His place tonight would have been instead of Cleverley or Westwood so I can see why he isn't starting.

Having said all that this formation and team could be a master stroke or an embarrassment. I see it being 3-0 but which way we'll see when the game starts.

(Anybody remember a manager saying "I played 4 forwards so it must have been attacking")

Interesting line up?? Someone's launched the dice right out the window.

Anyone got a link to the line up?

I'm excited and confident which is not like me at all. Mind you I've had a couple of beers! UTV!

anyone got a stream that isn't plastere in ads

Cole off injured, Ulloa scoring again, and Albion and Burnley winning. Good start to the night.

Who'd have thunk it?

He's just too good for us, he's just too good for us...

Our back four are trying to throw this game. I'm sure of it. Clark is pretending to jump, Cissohko mis-clearing the ball, Okore going down, Hutton getting skinned.

Agbonlahor and Weimann ... Contribution tonight ?

Cissoko is the Heskey of LB's, Gabby has been shite as usual and keeps trying to steal Benteke's position and Weimann, meh, Cleverly is a living joke and worth nowhere near £8mil, more like £2mil, benteke is solid as feck, great goal.

I don't think I hate a player more than agbonlahor, he is not fit to wear the bloody shirt!

Up to 12th, Benteke back in the goals, a clean sheet. I said the squad we have should be between 8th and 12th so I can't really complain.

God we need a change at the club though.

Stats said we had 54% possession. Hahahahaha. More like 4%.

This is weird... I'm not happy??

Up to 12th? Lambert will be straight on the phone to Lerner asking for a pay-rise.

8 and a half seconds of solo brilliance from Benteke has most definitely papered over the huge, gaping cracks.

Anyone else forgotten how to celebrate a win?
