Crystal Palace vs Leeds United Match Thread

[White Riot]

More like contradictory thinking .Which half do you understand ?

I generally don't interact with half wits, so I wouldn't understand your illogical thinking

[Chilli D]

I think Danny Murphy said it correctly on MOTD. We've not got the amount of points we should have for how well we have played.

[Sean_Nile]

All complete psycho babble waffle

Yo, listen up, West Staines Massive! Booyakasha! Respek! Bruv!!!

Me just sat through dis ting wot called a TED talk, innit? Some proper smart geezers in jumpers talkin' about why blokes get bare defensive when someone says their idea is rubbish.

Dey was droppin' words like "identity fusion" and "cognitive dissonance" and "traditional masculinity norms" bruv, me head was spinnin' faster than a wheel on a stolen shopping trolley! like in a fever dream like I'd eaten a bad three day old Chinese wot me Julie left.

Me was sittin' dere like, "Hold up, is dis about when me mate says me new chain looks fake and me feel like punchin' 'im in da mouf? Cos dat feel like he callin' me whole life fake, innit? Like he sayin' me mum ugly and me dad's a batty boy at da same time!"

Dey talkin' 'bout fragile self-esteem, dat sound like when me mum say me room messy and me get all shouty cos me feel attacked. But nah, me no fragile, me just passionate, for real!

And emotional literacy? Bruv, me literate in one language: ANGRY. Dat da only emotion me got in me crayon box. Me can draw a big red angry face, but me no know how to draw "I feel a bit unsure innit" dat one too complicated, make me brain hurt like after too many Super Tennents.

Anyway, after all dat big brain nonsense, me ring up me nan for some proper wisdom, cos she da real G. She 82, got more respek than da whole UN, and she don't need no TED talk to school nobody.

She go: love, when some posh twat in a TED talk say men get mad cos dey think disagreement is attack... tell 'em dis from ya nan: Most blokes ain't fused to der ideas, dey just fused to der massive ego like it superglued to der bollocks. Disagree wit' dem and it feel like someone tryin' to nick der crown jewels!

And dat stoic ting? Bollocks. Real men cry when da old ones get subbed off, but dey hide it by shoutin' at da ref on telly. As for emotional literacy, half dese lads can't even spell 'feelings', let alone talk about 'em. Dey just go from zero to 'oi you what?!' in tree seconds flat.

So me advice, darlin'? Next time someone disagree wit' ya, don't get defensive. Just say 'Fair play, bruv, but me still reckon me right cos me nan say so.' Dat shut 'em up quick. And if dey still chat breeze, tell 'em ya nan got a rolling pin wit' der name on it. Respek da nan, respek da wisdom!

Big up yaself, Massive. Keep it real. And if ya ever feel attacked by words... just remember: words can't hurt ya unless ya let 'em. Or unless ya nan hear 'em, den ya proper fucked. Booyakasha!

Its easy for people to sit at home and watch a game on tv, pause it at certain points and say we should have done this or done that and we would/could have came out of the game with a different result. When things are happening and your not playing well or under a bit of pressure its not always as easy as it might look when you freeze a frame and look at players and positions. A lot of flak comes from fans who have never been in that position and have no idea of what it takes to compete at Premiership level. It only takes 1 player to get things wrong and it makes others look like they arent doing their job correctly, when that happens then certain fans point out that we have some players who are not worth their place in the team, and its down to the recruitment team for getting them in, in the first place.
Because they dont get their own way then they complain and pick faults, its like they would never had made a mistake had they been in that situation.
As for what position we might have been in in the league had we done this or that, every other team in the league could say the same

[CHAPELALLMAN]

It's DF who decides who is in the starting 11, and right now he doesn't pick three of the most expensive summer signings for league games, or the Jan loan signing even for cup games. That's just a fact - make of it what you will.

One of our other most expensive signings has seemingly never been up to match fitness even when he regularly started games, and now seems to be long term injured. That's a fact as well - make of it what you will.

let me get this straight DF has to play expensive players who might be injured?

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Great that there's a resident comedian on here who regularly posts strange, long pieces which he at least seems to find funny.

It's just a shame nobody else ever does, as evidenced by the fact that nobody ever responds to his posts, nor even bothers to add a laughing emoji or such like...

Perri isn't injured. Longstaff came back two months ago. Bijol isn't injured.

How much did that lot cost ?

The main thing to learn from this thread is that there is a difference between 'LESS' and 'FEWER'

[Cjay]

All that matters is we gain points and not what style or system we play. Plus that's quite the insult for a manager who's being doing a great job for us from day one.

Is it possible you're attempting to set the tone that even if we stay up it wasn't done well or in the right way ? Because if so that's completely disrespectful not only to Farke but also to the whole squad who have been fighting hard all season to preserve our PL status.

Erm it's possible I'm suggesting the usual cautious approach vs Palace isn't neccessary

You've made the rest of the leap yourself

Absolutely the priority is gaining points, away from home we rarely do.

I believe the point is, we may need to release the handbrake a little to increase our chances of taking 3 points.
This from a so called FarkeBabe

TBF we're not the only ones that's true of..

You want the cave man version???
me think good.
You say I think bad.
me brain go ouch.
me yell loud.
dat about rite innit???

See I simplified it, shortened it, made it fit your comprehension level.

[Irish Ian]

With Palaces flair players we will need to be careful.

A very winnable game but at the same time one that could easily get away from us.

Expect the usual defensive approach and the usual weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth on here but a point there is a good point.

The front three Palace played against Larnaka have a market value of over 100M.

Larnaka low blocked them and came away with a point.

If you don't have any teeth, as Hellfire preacher Ian Paisley once said.

"Teeth will be provided"

Is there? or is that a rule made up by Robert Baker in 1770 in his book Reflections on the English Language...

Apart from 6 times in last 7 away games, of course.

We've the 3rd worst away record in the league.

Only team we beat was the one who were on course to be the worst team in Premier league history.

Don't think much argument exists that our away approach is decent imo.

DF's record in away matches at Norwich was very poor too.

Did anybody bother to watch this video all the way through, like I did.
I can feel the 'Cognitive Dissonance' kicking in!
Fewer eggs is certainly more 'elegant' than less eggs.
'Less' wins sounds ugly.
Maybe we should be watching 'fewer' U,S. TV shows.
If only Shakespeare could OF written his plays in a language we can understand.

I think that DF's record in the PL with Norwich and us is 53 away games played, 4 wins and 29 losses.
