Palace - Post match thread

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

We're second.

Fucking hell Doom and Gloom

This would only happen if it would have been a red, had the ref seen it. It was a cheap shot, but would only ever be a yellow, so no chance the FA will look at it.

Under the new rules it's a red.

Any chance Middlesbrough put in a performance like they did against us for Chelsea? Could do with a West Ham win too keep those Spuds down battling with the Rags for 5th place. :)

Thank you Mr fucktwit pardew. They had us on the ropes, then scored, then sat back and took benteke off. idiot of a manager but not complaining today :-)

Pep said after the game that Gündoğan and Stones didn't play because they were 'so, so tired' and 'needed rest'. Kompany has a head injury.

This is a massive win. Factoring in the International break and the players missing, winning at Palace particularly after they equalises is huge.

I see what you did there.

Commentators were saying it should have been a straight red.

I don't agree with them, but at this point I hope it doesn't get reviewed anyway - it wouldn't help us, but could help any of our rivals who play Palace in the next three games.

Apparently is a red under the new rules.

What matters ? Showing up and not winning or win singlehandedly

I'm not sure what point you're making, but I was just trying to give a more balanced view of Yaya and our other star players (Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, Aguero, I assume). They all sometimes fail to show up, and they all sometimes win us a game singe-handedly. Today was Yaya's day and I couldn't be happier for him, but there have been plenty of games in the last couple of years in which Yaya did nothing and/or was a liability. That's also true of our other stars - it's just the way it is, even with star players.

No idea what stream people watched the game on but my highlight of the day was after yaya scored the second
Seeing a bloke with his baby in his arms invade the pitch .
Made me smile that
