All I'll say is thank God they haven't taken away our ability to debate these issues in the pub until the small hours with our loved ones, oh boy that is the true spirit of football right there Jeff I can smell the passion, I am breathing in the emotion of it all! This is why its the greatest game on earth! Oh the excitement, fucking mount me Jeff!

It's the same as if someone elbowed air whilst jumping it's not a red but if it hits someone's face it is a red.

Would I get booked for kicking racism into touch?

I don't get the argument that Mane didn't know Ederson was there, is he blind or something? I get it with Nani against Madrid a few years back because the ball went over his head but with Mane he's running at the keeper of course he knows it's there.
It's very unlucky because he was just going for the ball but you can't stud someone in the face and expect to not get sent off.

Someone aware me on Matic. Has he always been this respected as a player and talked about so much before he moved to United? I swear I heard no praise for what he done at Chelsea when he was at Chelsea barring maybe his first season back. Wasn't he shit for awhile as well? Might be my United hating tinted glasses but it feels like now he's a United player he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Tbf basically every Chelsea player was shit that season after they won the title and then last season he was overshadowed by Kante. When he's allowed to be purely a holding player with another 2 midfielders getting forward around him he has always been pretty good. Don't see anything wrong with anything said about him really.

Yeah it's hardly OTT praise for him. He's a really good player and outside of the shitshow season he was great for us. I didn't mind him leaving for that money but not too happy that he went to a rival

Matic was getting majorly wanked over when he first joined Chelsea and they won the league

He does an honest job, that doesn't grab attention. He's not a world beater, but he can anchor a midfield fantastically, and just take a lot of pressure off of the defence.

Poor result for us but at least we are keeping pace with Spurs and Arsenal. Already starting to look like the "top 6" could be split in half.

Palace's next 3 games are Man City away, Man United away and Chelsea home. They gone There was a stat before this week... 8 teams in the PL era have lost first 4 games. 4 of them stayed up and 4 went down bottom of the league. This year Bournemouth and Palace lost first 4 and you probably wouldn't bet against that trend continuing now.

Looks like we're continuing last season's trend of never drawing which should serve us well
