I remember you recommending FYP to me and I started to listen to it but did it in the way I often do with podcasts which is while doing work and I realized that at least to start I'd actually have to focus a bit more because I wasn't following very well. So that (and the documentary which I've heard of but haven't seen) are on the to do list!You didn’t!!! Amazing first half, and the negative gameplan in the second half didn’t go wrong this time. Really nice to see them close out a win without making me nervous.
I always want to wait until it’s mathematically done (especially since Palace is at 28 games played, compared to a lot of the competition which has as few as 24), but I’m feeling confident about a 10th consecutive PL season with 33 points and 10 games to go.
Edit: @Mr Jums have you seen the Amazon documentary or checked out The Five Year Plan podcast?
Someone at The Guardian suggested Arteta is trying to hypnotize Arsenal into thinking they're Liverpool.Why are Arsenal wearing red shorts?

One of my favorite sports moments in a long time. Just awesome.
Yeah - their defense looks like that of a non-league team.Holy smokes Everton are bad.
Yeah, Spurs beat Man City twice playing those tactics and they actually have good players.Everton are trying to press Spurs and play a high line but they have neither the personnel nor the tactical cohesion to execute it. It's a total disaster.
The half ends with Holgate smashing the ball into Michael Keane’s face. That sums it up for Everton, for whom the defending has been farcical, feckless and, frankly, rubbish.
45 min:
Van de Beek is doing some complaining, as well he might. Now how apart getting in the way of some Tottenham runners from midfield? Two minutes are added on.
44 min:
Van de Beek, part of a midfield that has allowed Tottenham to cut through them like a knife through warmed Kilvert’s lard, tries to play in Richarlison. It’s neat and tidy but it’s lightweight stuff.
I understand this statement as a matter of "I like this club" principle, but it does not seem to be true based on the football evidence.It's great seeing Tottenham cut through people and everyone fill the net up with goals; but I take no joy in doing this to Everton. The EPL will be worse if Everton goes down.
Why would they not try the "pack it in" strategy that the Spurs can NEVER EVER EVER solve. It makes no sense.Yeah, Spurs beat Man City twice playing those tactics and they actually have good players.
Spurs then ripped leeds 4-0 when they played similar tactics. So, go for it Everton I guess.
That strategy relies on defenders not making calamitous fuck-ups, so I’m not sure how well Everton could’ve pulled it off even if they went for it.Why would they not try the "pack it in" strategy that the Spurs can NEVER EVER EVER solve. It makes no sense.
