Standing/stamping on an opponent is same old same old for them.

I don't!

I just knew Palace would win today. Intuition.

With the new TV money an already competitive PL is going to get a lot more competitive. Clubs outside the top 6 don't have to sell a la Everton/Stones...

So you put your mortgage on it presumably?

I didn't see or hear about the reasons for the sendings off.

I really hope that is the case and the money doesn't go on stupid transfer fees and ridiculous wages.

That's the dog's bollocks.

Been waiting since I as a kid for a win at Anfield - remember a great 1-1 there in mid 70s when Keith Robson scored and Smith equalised and Mervyn Day played a blinder for us to get the draw.

Doesn't matter (to me anyway) that this isn't the Pool of old - we buried 'em.

Home form is down to nerves and the headless chicken panic when they feel the crowd on their backs. But with Nolan finally out of the way I think things will gel.

[Alan Medic]

At least you recognise the crowd and its influence. Nolan was good for you for a while. What difference does it make now he's gone?

[red devil]

It begs the question, why do the crowd get on their backs in the first place?

Nolan is seen as one of BFS's acolytes, so don't expect any appreciation of his past efforts Meds...

A bit premature to say the least.

Noooooooooo,Yeeeeeeeeees,YEEEEEEEEEES!

Slow start, but what a great performance :)

ETA: And I predicted 2-1! :)

[????]

Seasons gone as expected for us, beating the crap teams no problem but struggling more against a bit of class

Me too, but the other way round :(

[aquarius moon]

I did think about you today RD. Not for long though!

After our bad start & going one down, I thought I'd be congratulating you at the end & blaming our loss on the absence of Montero. But we didn't need him anyway!

I'm assuming you watched it & will agree that in the 2nd half we turned it around & deserved to win. :)

[Alan Medic]

I don't know how United lost that.....apart from scoring less goals than the opposition.

[aquarius moon]

They lost it AM because the Swans were more consistent & wouldn't lie down.

[Alan Medic]

Did you watch it am?

Not as far as I'm concerned. Who's going to give them a run for their money? Certainly not Arsenal, United, Liverpool or Chavs.

LVG has spent the best part of half a billion on his "project" with sod all return. Swansea deserved their victory today, Gary Monk showing you don't have to spend shed loads to get decent results. If any other manager had spent the same as LVG with the same end product the press would crucify them.
