Match Thread Crystal Palace v Everton - 1984 video, Match Report & MotM Poll

[judge]

Danjuma has been good at getting past his man, shame he can't put a decent cross in to save his life!

Are we? Doesn't feel like it.

I was attempting optimism

I'll need to take more classes

Did Palace not sell enough tickets or did we not take the bigger allocation?
Massive gap in the stand

 

[MACCA75]

Get Beto on.

I don’t know about you, but I had chicken satay for my tea, and I’m thinking of having a brew now.

With Peanut sauce?

The first half was nothing to write home about really... which is okay because I'm at home. Come on Everton, do more better in the second half.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Abysmal quality from both sides. Rather watch paint dry if that's what they'll produce in the second half.

Nice.. I like dumplings with chicken satay. What tea bags you got? I was supposed to do dry Jan but then switched on itv4

But do they actually watch the game or just make that god awful noise for 90 mins? It sounds like a crap 1980's hooligan movie! #shadwellarmy

It's a horrible place to go to. The parking is crap. Narrow streets and vehicles parked both sides leaving only a small gap to get through so if cars come from both ways you are stuck for hours. The supermarket is OK. The chippy is pretty good but the stadium is awful, partic. for away fans. If you are further back in that stand, the one TV cameras show the action from, then you only have a small window to watch the game from. Anything in the air is lost as you have no clue where the ball is. Their fans are basically Delboy's who think they are superfans but really they are a load of Rodney's and the bloody drum keeps going on and on. If you've ever been to an MLS game, you'll know what Palace sounds like or vice versa. One of the worst away game experiences IMO and the only good thing is getting the game over and getting the hell out of there.

Is that why Pickford isn't playing?

….encouraged by the start but got a bit scruffy as the half continued and Palace perhaps carry more attacking threat. Danjuma looks the most likely and I thought Onana had a good half.

Seeing Ray Lewington next to Roy Hodgson reminds me of playing against him at Anfield in the ‘70s. I’m sure a future European Cup winner played in that game as well as a bloke who went on to win 84 England caps, i wonder if anybody on this pitch tonight will reach those heights.

We’re well on top here, absolutely destroying them and raining shots in on the Palace goal.

The only thing that needs changing is a soiled nappy, but I’d like to think that’s not applicable nor relevant to this match.
