Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Bad English]

To those asking about the pm. You have to find the close button on all the ads and close them without launching the pop-ups. This uncovers the object of your dreams, the. 'dick pic' player. It's a nightmare because the little 'close window' 'x' buttons are often in the middle of the ad.

Do you understand now? :-)

All this needs now is Palace late penalty from a Zaha dive....

Which Benteke will score.

[CJ]

Under the cosh a bit

Hate Crystal Palace. Saarf lahndon wankers

[PeterWithesShin]

Really does feel like it's just a matter of time before they score, we can't spend so much of the game under pressure and survive it,

[Hampshire Villa]

0-0 would be like a victory now

Regarding Trezeguet, cue the Egyptian fanbase bombarding the Pravda FB Page with ridiculous posts and emoticons

I was dismayed when i heard Friend was the referee, he is  awful and i cant recall us ever winning a game with him in charge. Still remember him missing the blatant stamp on Grealish against Fulham right in front of him

Hourihane about to come on, Luiz struggling to run.

 Can we hold out for another 25 mins !? Will seem like a great point if so

This display is so reminiscent of the Villa we all hated the season we went down. Under the cosh from the off, constant mistakes just waiting for their goal to arrive. With 10 men now to get through this will be nothing short of a miracle. The ref hasn’t helped but this has been really dire all round.

Blimey way OTT. We've been competitive in all the games so far so way different to 15/16, just lacking in the final third at times.

Did someone get a little overexcited with their cosy US chat with DS by any chance?

What does it matter about the other games this season? My comment was specific to this game. We are playing a team that will be in that lower half of the table with us and we have looked awful for most of the game.

And as for your last comment I have no idea what that even means. Clearly my chat with Dean Smith in the US hasn’t stopped me for calling his tactical ability out when needed. So I’ll commend him as needed and criticize when deserved. We have been second best all game against Crystal Palace.

11 free kicks either way but 5 yellow cards to 1 tells you everything you need to know about this game, especially given there isn't a single one of those fouls that you'd call nasty or cynical.

Haven't been watching the game but by any chance were our bookings in dangerous areas even if they weren't dirty? Might explain it?

[curiousorange]

We just haven't tested their defence today. We didn't do it with eleven and ten won't offer much.

[Legion]

Prays for 0-0.

[Edvard Remberg]

Every ball that ricochet falls to their favour
