Shaking here in pure rage. Absolutely disgusted, not just in the team but the referee too. Screamed of 'fixed' for me. Why was McCarthy dropped?
 
Perennial bottlers since the late 80s.

Look at the [Poor language removed] teams who've won trophies in the past 20 years.
 
Sunderland have just proved that nothing can be taken for granted. All our remaining games are against teams who play rather than defend deep and we all saw what we did to Arsenal. It looks like a tactical error, splitting up the Barry Mac partnership but Bob was obviously more concerned with Palace's defence than ours because they are not prolific scorers.

We're still only a point behind and still have a better GD than Arsenal. Now is the time to lump on us finishing 4th as the odds will have plumetted. I still can't lose that Betfair money - I had the draw and a Palace win, so maybe it should all now go on us finishing 4th.
 
im surprised people arent fancying hull to get something from arsenal. Dont get me wrong Arsenal will most probably get fourth but theres still potential for them to slip up. Unfortunately the hull game is the only one i see it happening in
 
...and there you go.

Our OBLIGATORY slip up.

Better hope there's a response this weekend or the last month of the season could be very very frustrating.
 
Good point about the corners, we just don't do them anymore do we? Poor deliveries, and when one does get whipped in right there's nobody there and it's easy for the opposition defence to clear.
 
No one was writing Palace off mate, all saw it as a difficult game.

Criminal to concede 3 at home though.

if you react like its automatically the fault of the players bottling it or the tactics/lineup then in a way you are failing yo acknowledge a very good game from palace...along with the fact that sometimes...shyt happens. Corner...boom...goal...game swings completely. Its small margins.

Its over the course of a season you will see the faults of the manager/squad/players. For me...I couldnt complain overly about that game. The biggest issue was Ross had the ballenough to control the game, but he is a kid so we get the ups and downs that come with giving him that responsibility.
 
I still think 4th is gone, but who thought we would go on a 7 game winning streak. Always weird results around this time.

I just hope that smug ginger Twit doesn't finish us off on Sunday
 
Lukaku was just dreadful, miralles awful
Defence non existent Palace walked through us at will and if they were a little more ambitious they could and would have scored more. The problem with the rest of the team was lack of intelligence. They don't move well off the ball and we dally on the ball therefore play it wide. Will always be a problem against defensive teams.
 
Final school report : 'must do better at corners'

Martinez doesn't believe in them, thus the team doesn't.

It's a philosophy - same as Moyes instilling negativity in a side, Martinez will have his sides set up to reflect his way.

I'd take the Martinez footballing philosophy any day over a random negative one that happens to priorities corners. Pulis done Martinez tonight but 9 times out of 10 he wouldn't.
