Match Threads Crystal Palace vs Spurs - Day 10 - 27th October 8:00pm

One shot on target in the last 150 minutes of football is worrying.

By a particular player ? The team ? As we score two or more goals in almost every match I am not sure what you mean.

I might be wrong but, wasn't that only made known after the season ended?

Yes, but people keep talking about it as though it's a miraculous turnaround of form, when he's simply recovered from a hernia (for which he should have had surgery something like 10 months earlier than he did).

Andersen got booked towards the end last night, pretty sure it was for a foul.

Was the 31st or 32nd foul since the previous yellow card awarded against one of our opponents for fouling?

Ayew was also booked, but that was for dissent...not for the fact that he'd committed 6 (yes 6!) fouls, of which at least one would normally have been a straight yellow.

Ah, I get ya.

It was a bit sexist old man-ish wasn't it? I'm disappointed in Roy, he is normally always a real gentleman. Her first question was "Roy, how do you assess tonight?" and he replied: "I can never answer those questions I really can't. How do I assess tonight?" She then asked him what his overriding emotion was and he got sarky again saying it was another question he couldn't really answer before at the end of the interview saying something about his overriding feeling is disappointment about not being able to build on the first half performance. So why didn't he say that minutes earlier? He was also sarky about her asking if he was frustrated that their goal came so late and should they have found a way through before that. He replied "Again, I don't know quite know what to say to that, yeah, maybe we should have scored five or six against them"
Considering how much his team got away with in that game he should have been happy he didn't have anyone sent off. If anyone deserved to be chippy about things it was Ange!

Maybe it was the Liverpool connection that put his back up.

I suggested it had the patronising vibes of sexism I didn't say it was sexism. He was suggesting that she was asking silly questions and his tone was very condescending as if she was out of her depth.

Better to participate like this I guess..

I thought his comments about the young subs were out of line at the time, fair play to him for publicly acknowledging it and apologising.

Can you imagine Ten Hag saying something like this. Big up to Roy.
