Bit of a miserable arse here but thought we were poor today.

I agree we were as poor as the opposition today but we won, whereas before we have been as poor but lost. Lots of mediocre teams in the PL this year again.

As poor as Palace really - both teams offered next to nothing. We had 2 shots on target and scored them both (and both were class), but other than that...

In a way, lucky both teams weren't great, but we should start better against better opposition.

Not at all mate I've been thinking the same, not our best performance this season we just didn't fold defensively as we have been.

Second half we were decent.

And Branthwaite's return, Ndiaye and Mangala's play give me a bit more hope this season. Get the famed Friedkin scouting to pick up two young and talented full-backs in January and who knows.

The other co-presenter Rachel Brown-Finnis who played for us 2003-14 (according to Wiki) and was getting giddy with the result. Keen chirped up that he’d played for us too.
At least he admits it …. Does Lineker?

Yep he does, always says we’re the best club he ever played for.

Lacroix for them is a cracking player. Should try buy him in January.

He does. He was a great signing banging in 40 goals and then sold at a profit.

Thank god the players didn’t follow Dyche’s awful plan of playing for a draw and showed some intuitive ability in a 15 minute period to win the game

 

[Cameron Manning]

That was a kind word.

What more do you want?

He was not very, very good, he was better than adequate.

Well I can’t argue about opinions, mine is very different to yours so let’s leave it at that.

 

[nsno-chris]

If people class that second half performance has decent then our standards truly are in the pit

 

[Coleraine Toffee]

Put a fiver on the draw around the 90 min mark just so I had £40 compensation should we throw it away

I’m well aware of that. Bought for £900,000 but Lineker always seems to talk about being at Spurs

He said the best club side he played for was Everton multiple times though
