Everton v Crystal Palace. 16th April at 19.45.

[deipnosophist]

Liverpool will leather Palace?...quite possibly. Mentally, Palace are now safe

 

[Zodiak2]

I just hope this isn't the start of a run of defeats. United and Spurs are not too far behind...

 

[kingduncan]

Still possible lads. Keep the faith

Oh and Everton today

Sums it up, sadly

 

[Seamus Colemole]

In what way did not having McCarthy starting play a part in their 3 goals?

 

[DanB90]

Why do you do this to me Everton? You teasing, devious temptress you.
To be fair though we have ground out a lot of results of lately when maybe we didn't deserve to win.
Hopefully this will be kick up the arse the team need in preparation for the return of the ginger one.

 

[collymcd]

Arsenal will drop points. We'll beat the two Manchester teams. Its still On

 

[meagher94]

And that is the difference between top teams and us, they win when they need to

We've needed to win every game in the past few weeks and we have done

Major kneejerking going on in here cos we couldn't manage to win EIGHT on the bounce

Kiwi...great gif. Made me lol that!. It's not over lads. This might be the event that re-galvanises the final effort. Mind you, it's 8.51 am in NZ. After giving up Benson and Hedges for over 3 weeks, I have, in the last 50 minutes, smoked 10 (FFS!)...and had two slugs of vodka!!!!. Off to work now. It is a good thing I am the boss lol

I'm off to Motutapu Island over the long weekend. Looking forward to the Ferry what with the wonderful weather we are having. Palace deserved it, they were clinical in attack and organised in defence, we committed some heinous crimes at the back and had Mirallas lol. FFS 2 clear chances he should have put away

 

[NilSatis1878]

you all have this stupid issue with 'everytime there is expectation, we mess up' because we had dithering dave in charge for far too long. did we not just beat arsenal 3 nil in a big expectational game?
i think it's good that martinez picked the team he did tonight, to show all you football managers that picking your most attractive team on paper doesn't necessarily work on the pitch!
just because you lose a game, or a game against a top team doesnt mean we have this mentality that we crack under pressure! chelsea got beat by palace at home! chelsea!

 

[marnie]

The Bottom line is, this was a big big game.We turned up against Arsenal........... but let us all be honest here... in the other 6 wins we had......... WE LOOKED NOTHING BETTER THAN AVERAGE..... END OF !!!!

 

[chicoazul]

If Martinez would have played the team I got told he was playing then he would have won.

 

[D410]

Can,t wait to hear why Bobby split up the 2 holding players tonight.

That team that started tonight looked like they never played with each other till Osman and Jimmy Mac came on in the second half.

Palace won that game fair and square, better tactics, better formation and better team on the night.

 

[uknightbreed]

am i also wrong to be a bit miffed at 6 minutes added time (i know its futile and petty).
im sure there keeper was down for longer than that . then the game stopped until puncheon nose bleed stopped. that also felt atleast another 5.

 

[rascal]

He jinxed us right down to that useless lump Cameron Jerome scoring the odd goal out of 5.

 

[DRM]

Caca happens. STill see us take 4th place, though. The remaining matches are easier for us.
