Championship Sunday - 7/26

[PedroSpecialK]

Nice goal for Origi.

Front three coming on now

 

[mauf]

That should be a red card too.

Edit: on Evans

 

[67YAZ]

Greenwood made that happen. Can you give a yellow to both CBs?

 

[Pesky Pole]

I hate the jump skip hop PK but man is it effective.

 

[SocrManiac]

That should be a red card too.

Edit: on Evans

Never, ever a red. Honest attempt to play the ball. If anything, you could make a case against Morgan.

 

[fletcherpost]

Bit of a gift there for United. Well taken penalty all the same.

 

[SocrManiac]

Wes Morgan looks in every way like a Sunday Leaguer.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Bit of a gift there for United. Well taken penalty all the same.

Leicester’s emergency defending was so good too. They must have had five big interceptions on the last United player in on goal before that, but the last one let them down.

 

[tmracht]

Oof Pulisic got to do better there. Beautiful give and go and he blasts it over on his last kick.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Cherries score again. Pickford with a dreadful attempt at a save.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Hammers are gonna keep the Cherries up, aren’t they? Like in the 94th minute.

 

[mauf]

How should I feel about Bournemouth or Aston Villa in the PL next season?

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Watford keeps getting chances. If they start finishing, they could still win this.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Grealish ends it.

 

[mauf]

Aston Villa with the goal. Relegation race settled.

 

[67YAZ]

Grealish nets it for Villa!

 

[Pesky Pole]

Hang on. Hammers tie it

 

[Phil Plantier]

Not so fast!

 

[67YAZ]

And the Hammer ties it up a minute later! Oh my my

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Grealish ends it.

Or ...

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Somewhere Brad Friedel is sweating.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Mane with a beauty.

One tends to root against the team that JohnTerry is associated with.

 

[shawnrbu]

Norwich in the league after the restart:

Goals: 1
Goals Allowed: 23
Points: 0

 

[Kliq]

Spurs have a shitty second half and should have beat Palace...but we are going to Europa League!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Tough spot for Bournemouth. Villa want to win, sure, but there is nothing really in it for them.

 

[Ale Xander]

Horrible time-wasting in the AV game. Can't blame them

 

[Ale Xander]

"SAFETY ASSURED" for AV

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

"SAFETY ASSURED" for AV

Technically not yet but practically.

 

[Ale Xander]

Oooh, Schmeichel

 

[teddykgb]

Never trust a Schmeichel

 

[Ale Xander]

AV cheering their 17th place finish is hilarious

 

[Zomp]

Lingard!!! Who needs Sancho??

Bournemouth has been a dirty team every time I’ve watched them. Good riddance.

 

[Royal Reader]

Seven from safety with two to go and they stay up. Seems reasonable to be happy.

Vs. Villa? Villa today were truly awful, just dared the ref to give them cards knowing he didn't want to be seen as the reason they went down. They should have been at least 1 man down. Loathsome side.

I didn’t watch the Villa game today. I’m just going mostly on my experience watching them play Palace, and pretty much every time for the past 5 years or whatever, they have been a team that has just rubbed me the wrong way. They’re the sort of team that would end up with like 7 yellows in a game, all against Zaha (maybe a bit, but not much, of an exaggeration, but you know what I mean.)

Fun day for the EPL. Chelsea looked very good, although I'm completely flummoxed as to why Adama and Moutinho started on the bench. Spurs played a totally mediocre match (why Dier over Dav?!?) and held on for a draw that gets them the result they want. United also looked lethargic but were lucky to encounter a battered and discombobulated LCFC.

Go watch the KDB goals. The first was the equivalent of 5 straight Jordan step back 3s, and the other was also nice.

Edit: Because KDB deserves it:

Also a really nice header from VVD:

[fletcherpost]

Just hearing on BBC Five Live that Zaha has said he wants to leave Palace.

 

[teddykgb]

Will put Palace in the early lead for teams who will be relegated if that comes to pass

 

[DJnVa]

Seven from safety with two to go and they stay up. Seems reasonable to be happy.

Am I reading this wrong? If they were 7 from safety with 2 to go then they can't make it...

 

[DJnVa]

Aren't there effort issues with him?

 

[coremiller]

Those KDB goals are nice, sure, but he's no Jordan Henderson.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

When you have a chance check out the goal KDB just scored. I’m sure Henderson will do it but left footed later

You guys doing ok?

It was actually 7 from safety with 2 weeks to go. Entering July 12th, Watford had 34 points in 35 games played while Villa had 27 points in 34 games played. Villa would get 8 points in their last 4 while Watford lost their last 3.

 

[teddykgb]

No. David Silva is leaving and our GK won the golden gloves while playing generally like crap and we lost the league by like 30 points. Oh and United got a procession of penalties to get a lifeline.

mostly I was just joking except for the Silva thing which is super depressing

 

[Gunfighter 09]

Jose was his absolute Josest today, subbing on a center back in a tie game because Chelsea was up 2-0 and refusing to use the fifth sub for Vertongen in his last match at Spurs. So much cynicism....

Well, that makes more sense--weeks vs games.

I was reading an article in The Athletic the other day and they liked Dier's play over the restart and I immediately thought of you.

Eric Dier, who was in good form himself prior to being suspended,
