[OCST]

huddersfield’s away kits are.... interesting

 

[candylandriots]

Pardew v. Palace / Hodgson v. West Brom

And lots of empty seats

 

[67YAZ]

Brighton very well organized, as expected, and they just missed on a fantastic opportunity. The fullback combo of Andy & Trent is not quite getting it done right now. Width is going to be key to pulling apart Brighton’s defenses.

 

[candylandriots]

Palace playing defense right now reminds me of a kid playing with matches.

 

[OCST]

Huddersfield having the better of it so far and drawing Everton into a chippy game, several yellows already

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

Lucky Spurs. Watford probably should have had a penalty but instead Spurs break and equalize.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

You wait for one, and along come two!

Can and Firmino with 2 in a minute.

 

[67YAZ]

Liverpool do a double within a minute!

 

[candylandriots]

Palace haven’t scored an away goal since Benteke on April 23 against Liverpool. They’ve just missed like 5 golden opportunities. Still no goals.

 

[OCST]

0-0 zzzz at Goodison

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Within 30 seconds, it should have been 2-1, Mignolet with a great save, and they go down and make it 3-0. Wow.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Wowowow that save and that counter

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And Brighton get a ridiculously soft penalty from a corner. 3-1.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

May be the worst penalty ever awarded

 

[pedro1918]

Was it on Henderson? I honestly have no idea.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

I mean...if that's a penalty there is a penalty on every single corner kick taken.

 

[candylandriots]

0-0 zzzz at Goodison

I feel you man. I’m on my second one in a row this week.

Guess I should be grateful for the clean sheet.

 

[OCST]

1-0 Everton on pretty backheel from DCL to Siggy

 

[candylandriots]

How much do you guys think it would cost Palace to buy Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea permanently. Is that even possible?

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Offside on a 5-on-2 lol

 

[PedroSpecialK]

If Can is hurt, pilled-up Lovren and ill Klavan are the two remaining CBs

edit: Can not looking right but no sign of Klavan

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Can may have a pulled groin.

We already are playing 2 midfielders as center backs, now what?

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Holy Shit! Lacazette healthy enough to be in the starting lineup. My expectations just went up ten fold.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Everton scored six conceded none w/ Allardyce in the building.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And Coutinho sneaks one under the jumping wall. 4-1.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Coutinho seals it. Thank the lord

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And now an OG for 5.

 

[candylandriots]

Joel Ward has saved our ass with three blocks today.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Coutinho's shot was going on target so that should be his as well

edit: Never mind may have been curling wide

 

[candylandriots]

And now an OG for 5.

Keep ‘em coming

 

[SoxFanInCali]

As bizarre as it sounds in a 5-1 game, I spent the vast majority of it worried.

That's what happens when you play a back 3 with 2 of them being midfielders and the other one being Lovren.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Spurs lucky to get a point, got away with a handball in the box right at the end.

 

[teddykgb]

Dislike Sanchez send off for Spurs even if I enjoy the result. His arms are up and that can be done cynically but I don't think refs can properly legislate all the high elbows and arms in a game where players jump and run and are different sizes. I honestly don't believe Sanchez had any clue about it. Just give him a yellow and no rope on any other physical fouls and be done with it.

 

[candylandriots]

18th place!

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Horrific by Monreal.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Crowd completely dead less than 5 minutes in.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Could have been a penalty against Rojo.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

It was harder to not score there than to score.

 

[speedracer]

Arsenal's gotta be crushing the xG score by now

 

[ifmanis5]

This is pretty insane.

 

[swiftaw]

This is pretty insane.

Yep, this is a crazy game. Very entertaining for a neutral.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

This game could easily be about 5-4 right now.

 

[fletcherpost]

Oh boy. Who'd be a Gooner?

 

[teddykgb]

If DeGea weren't on the pitch Monreal would be United's best player

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Pogba's off.

 

[fletcherpost]

Good call by the ref. Looked awfy bad in slow mo. Come on Arsenal make it bloody interesting.

It's all a bit dainty from Arsenal at the moment.

 

[teddykgb]

I think that's harsh too. Getting sent off because your opponent puts his leg on the floor and you stud it just seems a bit too much to me. It was certainly studs on flesh, though. Just think a lot of players would have done the same thing Pogba did there as Bellerin's movement was a bit different. I suppose the argument is that all tackles have to be made in the context of the opponent's movement but I think i'd be really frustrated if Fernandinho were sent off for that.

On the plus side, Pogba now out for the derby although it's United so they'll probably appeal and somehow win because you know, they run the FA

 

[lars10]

How is that not a penalty

 

[teddykgb]

How is that not a penalty

It very obviously was one.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Spurs lucky to get a point, got away with a handball in the box right at the end.

Yeah this one was especially egregious - Martin Atkinson again, who wrongly did not send Mignolet off midweek
