Match Thread Crystal Palace v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Obes]

It’s good news for the Blues…

Great win. Manager must be doing something right if even Gana is sticking them away.

Got away with it on that second Eze pen shout tho. Dangerous player, him.

 

[Bwana]

anyone got the goals?

You have to set them yourself. My advice is to aim high while remembering kindness, truth and beauty.

What was a nice touch is that all the staff in the coffee / beer bar in the away end - arthur waite stand - all had proper Everton T shirts on - even though they were local people. I wonder if they do that for all away teams? Fella in front of us tried to buy one off them - - told him to come back at FT. That and the scarf on Bill's seat was class.

Every palace fan I've met has been quality.

Jermain Jenas: "I'm of the opinion that if there's any contact whatsoever it's a penalty"

You mean, when it's Everton?

Tool

Muppet.

Soccer is a contact sport - does he want it to become like basketball where no contact is permitted?

Contact does not equal a foul in every case.

Eze was diving every chance he got and that first penalty was so soft.

Everton need to work on complete discipline in and around the box as the reality is that players are constantly getting rewarded for their histrionics and diving.

Too

Jermaine Jenas is cockney rhyming slang for tiny penis, monkey see monkey say.... Is it any wonder the blighter is so bitter?

Well said

Btw, can anyone hate Roy Hudson?

Said it before, Jemain Jenas hasn't got a scooby. Getting payed good money for nothing. Wasn't even a good player. Was always injured if my memory serves me right.

 

[kiss the crest]

All this slightest touch stuff in the penalty area rubbish, don't commentators watch corner kicks when a player is getting dragged about and man handled

 

[Trout Masked Replica]

Great win. Manager must be doing something right if even Gana is sticking them away.

I thought he dived twice to be honest.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Dont atempt to go home.

Crowdfund me, for Everton’s sake

What on earth was Jonathan Pearce on about on commentary for Palace’s second?

“We’re sending spaceships out to the outer colonies of the universe, if such things exist.”

No we’re not, and no they don’t.

Eze only had to feel the slightest touch on his legs and he was throwing himself down all game. Not great but I’ve seen our players try it too. It’s funny because the way players go down when they are trying it on is so fake and exaggerated and un-natural it’s laughable. How any ref or VAR can see these incidents and take them seriously is beyond me.
