    Matchweek 33 - In which I can’t come up with anything

    On Salah - it’s always been presumed that, if an insane offer came in from Saudi they’d let him go. His performance post hamstring injury makes it a certainty one would think.

    Matchweek 33 - In which I can’t come up with anything

    I think the balloon was burst with the FA cup loss to United , and they have got progressively worse ever since. It’s not like they have been bad - but the offence has completely dried up - choking? Pressure? Bad luck ? All probably apply.

    Almost hope Palace hang on to put Pool out of their misery .. they have been bad since the City game

    Matchweek 33 - In which I can’t come up with anything

    Klopp will probably wait until 60’ but I’d have Jota and Szoboszlai at the half . Nunez has contributed very little and Jones next to nothing.

    Matchweek 33 - In which I can’t come up with anything

    Liverpool nervous as kittens - they seem kind of surprised at the intensity that Palace have brought.

    Matchweek 33 - In which I can’t come up with anything

    Pool appear to have a shape problem - it’s ridiculously easy for Palace down the left side - one goal already and several other opportunities.

    MW32, in which we’re all Crystal Palace fans

    I actually think this game encapsulates their whole season … domination, but lacking ruthlessness plus slightly flaky at the back. Of all their injuries I’ve always thought Jota’s was the most damaging. That may have been the bridge too far.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    MLBPA came out today whining that the pitch clock was the reason for the increase in pitchers’ injuries - without providing any evidence of course. MLB’s response emphatically shuts down the complaint …...

    MW32, in which we’re all Crystal Palace fans

    I thought it was a clean tackle at first but that last replay from behind showed he didn’t get the ball - so, agreed it should have been a PEN - the announcer suggested it wasn’t given as the contact was after the Brentford player got the shot off.

    MW32, in which we’re all Crystal Palace fans

    Palace gave it a go but essentially lost when they didn’t capitalize on several excellent chances on the break in the first half. Watching City games and hoping for a result is , shall we say an extraordinarily futile experience. The sense of inevitability is overwhelming.

    The Ugly Side of the Beautiful Game

    An overview of Tragedy Chanting in the UK https://theathletic.com/5390976/2024/04/06/tragedy-chanting-what-manchester-united-liverpool/?source=user_shared_article My own view is this should not be a police matter - but this is the UK where free speech is increasingly diminished - witness the...
