Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Match Thread

[The Edge]

My patience with Emi Martinez is wearing very thin. It must be some kind of record for a player being in the team at the start of the game and not finishing it.

[Exeter 77]

At a guess I would say Martinez is ill - he doesn't look too well.

Lev fucking Yashin as usual.

Knocking on the door now.
It’s there for us, if we want it.

Something very gravelly almost dirty old manish about this commentator!

His pronunciation of Camera and Dinya is boiling my piss. It's Kamara and Dean you absolute fucking tit.

His pronunciation is pretty much correct. He maybe overdoes the "e" on the end of Digne just very slightly, but that's typical of a southern French accent.

When he signed from Everton they did a piece with him at Bodymoor Heath and asked him to clear up the debate about the pronunciation of his name. In perfect English he said:  it's simple "Luca Dean" as in Dean Smith.

Yep, that's how he always says it - https://youtu.be/ScNovNeQUU4?si=tRJ0wq6of3JIQF4i&t=300

Lol. He definitely ain't saying "Dean" there!

Pretty sure he's having back issues.

Getting closer here!

[PeterWithesShin]

We've upped the pace it seems.

[martin o`who??]

You can see what's coming here.

[Exeter 77]

Where is the Dean Henderson from Sheffield United when he let us draw 3-3 from 3-0 down in the 82nd minute?

[PaulWinch again]

Sucker punch coming.

[PeterWithesShin]

You can see what's coming here.

Yep, two or three Villa goals.

[wolfman999]

Sucker punch coming.

Yup.

[Lizz]

Did I hear the Villa fans shouting Bizot just?

Ollie’s passing has been as bad as his finishing
