Early goal for Palace (well OG for West Brom).
Palace really need 3 points today. Nice to see Zaha back.

Can't believe none of you are awake for West Brom-Palace haha.
I'm with you. I did like Landon Donovan's approach better.I’m going to justify my Pulisic fandom here by giving him a pass as a man made out of wet tissue paper and spider silk. If he needs to dissipate a foul by rolling out of the stadium, we’ll pretend we don’t hate Neymar for doing the same thing.
I wouldn’t predict two over the course of an entire season for him playing in the Championship at this point.Who predicted a brace for Benteke?
The people on the Palace podcast I listen to were, to their credit, suggesting that Benteke needed to get a start this week (especially after Roy inexplicably started Schlupp up front last week.)I wouldn’t predict two over the course of an entire season for him playing in the Championship at this point.
But it was clear and obvious!The Pereira red... at what point is enough enough? View: https://streamja.com/akRv2
I was ecstatic when Liverpool foisted him on Palace .. and even got 20m for him IIRC. Not that I disliked him - he works hard and seems a decent enough guy. But monumentally frustrating .. and that’s gotten a lot worse at Palace.I wouldn’t predict two over the course of an entire season for him playing in the Championship at this point.
Exactly the point made by Michael Owen and Don Hutchinson in the post match commentary .. it was worth a red card in their opinionI don’t understand why Sheffield #12 didn’t just haul Vardy down outside the area.
I think there's a big difference here between exaggerating marginal but real contact, and flat-out faking contact when there's been no contact at all. I''m fine with the former and strongly against the latter.I’m torn.
I’m desperate for a world-beating US player. I can’t stand divers and embellishers.

I was pretty sure it was 30 million. Ugh. I hope you’re right, it actually would make me feel a little better.I was ecstatic when Liverpool foisted him on Palace .. and even got 20m for him IIRC.

Mine is still bad. It's giving me a headache.Peacock improved the framerate. Finally.
Looked it up 27M£ Plus 5m in add onsI was pretty sure it was 30 million. Ugh. I hope you’re right, it actually would make me feel a little better.
He is definitely lucky that he’s been at Palace during this time. I wouldn’t want to imagine being that big of a disappointment somewhere else. It’s remarkable the fans haven’t turned on him, though I think it does have to do with him being a likable guy who also works hard. You have always known the effort was there, which is one of the main reasons I’m happy for him today. Hope this gets him on some kind of roll.
Edit: just checked. £27 million with incentives (ha) that could have brought it to £32 million. I remember Liverpool not giving in at all in the fee (not wanting to sell at a loss), despite all evidence they should have. But Palace still paid it. This is the last year of his contract. Wonder if they could get the proverbial bag of balls for him in the January window.
We praise basketball players for "drawing fouls."I think there's a big difference here between exaggerating marginal but real contact, and flat-out faking contact when there's been no contact at all. I''m fine with the former and strongly against the latter.
Mine just doesn't look quite as sharp.I've never had a problem with Peacock, fwiw.
I thought Robbie Earle made a good point at halftime showing that Reguilon's run down the left forced the defender to try to stay in between Son and Reguilon and allowed Son to get space for the shot.Son is playing out of his mind. That finish on the first goal was insane. But Arsenal's defending was malpractice.
Bellerin blew the coverage. Reguilon's run forces Holding to drop off but then Bellerin needs to switch and take the ball. Instead Bellerin ALSO starts running to Reguilon before realizing his mistake, trying to turn around, and falling flat on his ass. Son walks right into the space Bellerin vacated and fires into the top corner.I thought Robbie Earle made a good point at halftime showing that Reguilon's run down the left forced the defender to try to stay in between Son and Reguilon and allowed Son to get space for the shot.
