So why the need for the internet hardman shite then?

Why go around the forum (as you and others of your ilk do) giving it the big one? "Do you want some?"

Are you 13?

Or are you just unable to think beyond the reasoning of a 13 yr old?

Seriously, wtf was with your responses? Embarrassing.

Had you had a better comprehension than a 13 year old, you'd have seen than my comment was actually a promotion of Phil and his ability and a critique of his use and suitability to what is CLEARLY a fucked up setup this year.


There's no fucking need for shite like yours on this forum. Go take a look at yourself. Embarrassing.
 
Pep picks a shit team = any team that doesn't win.
Pep picks a shit team =any team that isn't the one a poster would pick.
Pep picks a shit team = any team with Lewis or anyone over 30 in it.
 
I think Pep's press conference is at 1.30pm today..

There isn't much pre-match controversy or injury speculation to resolve and Pep rarely gives anything away. If there is to be a surprise in the starting line-up it might be O'Reilly playing in midfield because the return to fitness of Akanji would allow us to make that change.

I watched that on telescope, first half from a blues feed and the second from a Palace fans feed as we were attacking their end.

A bloke behind who was filming was moaning like fuck and I always remember him saying " Fucking Yaya Toure, if he scores this I'm off...GOAL...right that's it I'm off".

Quality! It's strange the little things you remember. I was at Palace away on my own as a 13/14 year old. I remember a bloke absolutely plastered stood in front of me at Selhurst Park. There was a lull in play and silence in the stands. This drunken bloke, on his own, chanted "Well, we've got Niall Quinn and he comes from the west. He plays for the City 'cos they are the best!"
 
A lot of pundits are going to be for palace tomorrow.
Feels like Pep is gonna feed on this and use it to motivate the team.
Palace have to decide if they want to site deep like forest and hit us on the counter. Forest found out early this is very high risk.

This team as it is for me has two games now to salvage the season and start the rebuild.
Beat palace tomorrow and beat Bournemouth on Tuesday and we can end the season in a bit of style

The team will be bang up for this. They'll want to be in the CL, but winning a trophy is going to be all they're concerned about tomorrow. Pep won't need to motivate them to go and win it, particularly after the loss last season.

Palace will play exactly the way they always do. They'll have a defensive shape, press when we get to certain areas of the pitch and play on the counter. They showed at the Etihad how much of a threat they are when they do it.

And Pep will stick to his approach of keeping the ball and being patient as giving us the best chance to win the game. Which is true. If we don't make silly errors they won't be able to counter attack us.

We don't know what the permutations will be when we play Bournemouth. We're assuming we'll need to win it, but that's because we want to take pressure off the Fulham game more than it being a necessity. Worry about that game when the Cup final is done, it's not something to think about yet.
 
Listening to all the pundits and media who want plucky no trophy ever palace to win is making me angry. Pep can use this for a bunker mentality at it from the off performance. Want our boys to smash this and then bounce into Tuesday to nail champs league. As a few on the thread have said two games to make this an acceptable end to the season given where we were at one point. Come on you blue boys, fight to the end!! CTID.
