What do you mean by that? Palace have revovered well. Haven’t seen them get many dodgy decisions?
There's statistical evidence of the difference on penalties before and after the fraud took over at Palace. Along with the referees who've awarded most of them (Moss/Swarbrick).

33 games. Of those 21 have been refereed by Marriner, Oliver, Dean, Moss, Swarbrick and Friend, so over half of their games by just 6 refs, 63% in fact. To sum up, all season long they have only not been refereed by those 6 12 times. Those referees have given them 8 penalties.
 
Just catching up with Saturday’s MOTD...

Total lack of understanding and empathy with Leicester fans by Lineker, Lampard and Keown.

Saying Leicester fans have short memories and it was a poor showing because hardly any stayed behind for the end of season lap of honour. But all three of them as ex-players they don’t have a clue! They’re all in their player bubbles and don’t realise that people have got better things to do than just stand in a football stadium staring into space while the players all swan off to the changing rooms for half an hour then wait to get all their hangers on to come down onto the pitch as well. It was a blazing hot day n’all.

Footballers and the clubs need to get ‘with it’ and do these laps of honour immediately after the final whistle. Fuck all their hangers on off, nobody wants to applaud a squad player’s cousin’s girlfriend’s mate and her kid, nobody even wants to applaud the player’s wife and kids to be honest! and just have the players and coaching staff on there. People might stay behind then.

Quite agree, who gives a damn about their children in tow when doing a lap of honour? I can't remember who and why it started in the first place. Just the players & backroom staff, thanks.
Oh and I can't recall Noel Gallagher being picked for the squad this season but he managed to be with the squad at the end.

Good point. Gallagher would turn up for the opening of an envelope as someone once said ! Getting ridiculous it should just be players and coaching staff only on the pitch not families and hangers on.
 
All this bringing tots on is tacky.

I won a prestigious TV quiz title but I didn't bring my cat on and hold him up.
