point-blankly refusing to close down Matic to me is throwing in the towel, deliberately so because there's no excuse at 2-2 not to put your body on the line no matter how tired you are to block that ball. It bounced twice. They were good enough to be 2-0 up, trundling to make half-blocks and bad defending from that point on isn't being over-excited.

It was the first two goals that were incredibly poor to concede
A defender who for some inexplicable reason is two yards behind his team mates playing three united players onside
Then some proper Keystone Cops defending to let Lukaku score, with five defenders stood watching him!!
 
No Agenda then....

Headline from the Guardian match report:

Argentina have too much for Italy at the half-empty Etihad Stadium
 
In yesterday's Times, Alyson Rudd and Oliver Kay gave their answer to the question - "Who is Player of the Year - KDB or Salah?"
Guess who Rudd went for.
She doesn't even try to hide her bias.
I refused to listen to either The Game podcast or the Foltball Writers one this week when I saw it was her and Tony Fucking Evans that were on it.
 
Salah could be close to getting 38 in 38 this season, from the wing.

I think he will pip Kev for POTY.

Goals willl always cloud assists.
That’s why they have a top scorer award.

Where was the clamour for the top scorer receiving the award when Kante won it?

Also Salah doesn’t play on the wing.

Same here, we are playing so well, so consistently, the only glimmer of interest is seeing how this week, as opposed to last week, they shoehorn their bias, it really is as simple as that. This stuff isn't even in the gutter, it's just utterly irrelevant to what is actually going on.
 
You can say what you like, Palace giving every other team a 7 game head start, throwing away some easy or very attainable home points like Swansea, Huddersfield & Southampton. Then after 20 odd games being out of the relegation zone is down to some good management. You obviously don't like Hodgson, I couldn't give a toss about him personally. I can just appreciate he's done a fine job and acknowledge they were dead ceris for the drop when he took over, they're now unlikely to drop.

Guardiola has been the stand out. The rest have done as expected or worse. Dyche has done ok, PUEL has done a fine job and Hodgson has performed much better than expected. If you're honest with yourself, I beg you were pretty sure Palace were down.

I hope Palace go down. That being said, he's done a good job but over the course of the season it's not so substantially better than what's happened at other clubs to justify him being considered for Manager of the Year. They just had a really bad start which didn't reflect the squad they have. I don't like Hodgson because he has dubious associations, because he allowed his players to go out and try and crock Kev, because he allows Zaha to cheat and his team stopped playing when 2-0 up against the rags and let them win. It's not been honourable this season and I hope they get punished with relegation for it.
 
Surprisingly enough with it mentioned how many penalties palace have had since Roy took over, apparently he and a ref both have links to an agency which has links to major gambling. .. allegedly
 
Saw Mino’s been given a platform to slate Pep in the Mirror. Yawn. Couple of quotes relating to Ibra and hey presto an article. Lazy stuff.

Yep. So bloody predictable. Manger upsets player due to attitude problem, so said player and his crooked agent hold a grudge and start mouthing off. As you say, yawn.

First thing that I thought too, I wonder how many of those penalty decisions Lee Mason was involved in
