Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Villafirst]

I can't wait to renew my season-ticket at the inflated price. Mind you, which league will we be in next season?

[JUAN PABLO]

you are going to tell me Cilla cant play football is on there too  ?

[dicedlam]

God my eyes hurt after that first half.

Norwich had better screw up there next few games.

[Dave]

Is Robinson on bench

he cant do any worse than these

Albrighton and Robbo for me

No Robinson - Tonev, Bowery and Weimann are the 'offensive' options

Those being our options is certainly quite offensive.

I think I might go and mow the lawn. It looks like it needs it.

It's actually part of a tactical masterplan from Lambert. We're lulling Palace into thinking we're crap and have no idea how to score, and then from out of nowhere, BOOOOOM, we put Bowery on and smash them out of sight. Lambert is a genius.

[CJ]

And hoof and loose possession

[devilla]

Oh and another lump of the ball towards Holt. Fucks sake

[Tuscans]

You know this saying that we've historically been labelled with, "Villa love a BIG MAN up front"......well do we, this day and age?

Have we?

Yea since Withe, pundits and managers have all come out at some point and said, "they love a big man up front at Villa".

what when Lambert will put him on the wing ? 

[CJ]

Did the commentator just say Jerome one goal in 37 games? So we know who'll score today then

[JUAN PABLO]

we are gonna score   ,   you watch

In goal. Guzan on the wing. Palace just won't see it coming. That's tactics that is.

[SamTheMouse]

I can't be arsed any more. It's all just so uninspiring. We're the footballing equivalent of Coldplay.

I dunno about "blackcurrant", we should be playing in beige.

Having Bowery on the bench is one of the reasons I'm not convinced of this 'Lambert is being held back by parsimonious owners' theory. Bowery is nothing better than, to paraphrase 'In The Loop', bench-meat.
