Watford back to losing after their performance against us. Who'd have thought?

 

There's an annoying theme in our games vs the lesser lights, they seem to play very well and the TV analysts all say "oh if they keep playing like that they'll be alright". Same thing with Bournemouth today, just as it was vs Watford, West Ham, Norwich, Southampton etc. Come the next game and these teams revert to shite and get beat against another lowly team. Either these teams are playing way above their usual level when they play us, or we're just playing shite but still scraping wins. Probably a bit of both.

The latter. Combined with the fact that it's easier to sit deep and play on the counter than trying to keep the ball and build the play up that way.

Antonio should have buried that.

I'd love him at liverpool. He's big, strong and a complete fucking handful and I'd say with better players around him he'd be brilliant.

Not going to happen I know but he'd be a super plan B for want of a better term

Premier League already considering banning over 70s from games as they're considered most at risk. 

 

According to Sky News’ Martha Kelner options under consideration include banning over 70s from games and playing matches behind closed doors.

She commented: “The Premier League is prepared for the possibility that Public Health England will advise that some fixtures this season will have to be played behind closed doors, as has been the case in other European leagues like Italy.

“It is understood that the preference in the case of advice that the season be postponed or played behind closed doors would be that it continues without fans permitted inside stadiums.

“The league is also considering other possible contingency plans.

 

“That may include advising against, or even a possible ban, on over-70s - the demographic considered to be at highest risk from the spread of COVID-19 - coming inside stadiums.”

It is unclear if such a ban would also apply to managers and coaching staff.

Roy Hodgson, the manager of Crystal Palace, is aged 72.

The Premier League has already scrapped the customary pre-match handshake between players.

 

(wouldn't be surprised if that's blamed on Suarez too)

Always easier for most teams to play a back 6 and 3 sitting midfielders within 30 yards of your goal against us than to try and win the game vs Palace most weeks. Look how often we have 75% possession 16 shits but they get two good chances and the studio are talking how great they've been and unlucky to be 1 nil down

Plan A works ok thank you without bringing a player thats not even a regular for a probable relegated team.

Our plan a was broken the last few games. And gini and robbo got relegated and they turned out fine. Antonio is a fine player.

These refs are fucking atrocious. They just make it up as they go along. The premier League and ELF needs to come together and tell them and the FA to get their shit together or else they'll start employing refs from other european countries to replace them.
