Now that they have lost ground (and momentum) to Chelsea (and title race) they are going to give bye to MU. Freaking Spurs. English Premier League '16-'17 Discussion - Part 14 - Page 12 2276801876

City already 1-0 up, wanted to see a gritty display from Palace but it's game over already smh. Can't see City dropping any points from now until the end of the season, same with Loserpool.

We have Spurs & Arsenal ffs. Need to win the EL now, rest our players for the Pl games.

Palace getting really back into the game in the last 5 minutes after being dominated for 35. Could be 1-1. Got faith Fat Sam brings em back into it second half.

Nothing wrong with what I said. A draw probably would have been fair. I just said they were lucky, which they were. A cross that was handled by West Ham, bounces off three different players to Lanzini in front of the net is the definition of luck. Besides that chance and one half chance early on they weren't even in Tottenham's half the whole game (not including last 10 mins when Tottenham stopped defending because they needed a win, not a draw).

They were good defensively and terrifically lucky offensively. There isn't anything wrong with that, it's just a description of the game as it was.

You're having a nightmare here mate.

There were countless times they put pressure on Spurs midfield and forced them to play it all the way back or punt it long. Find the Sky post game analysis on YouTube if you can. Henry and Redknapp did a good job of highlighting that. West Ham defended when they needed to but they pushed up quite a lot too. It's not like they sat back for the entire 90 mins. They probably had a good 20-30 mins spell combined where they were putting pressure on Spurs. They could have easily won the game 3-0 if Lanzini and Ayew knew how to convert. They created some really good chances apart from that goal.

horrific goalkeeping from palace ffs

De Bruyne's first goal in 16 games

Lost against this team 3-0 lol, we don't deserve to be in the CL next season even if Man City or Liverpool mess up.

Palace have looked meh the last few games IIRC tbh

they were on fire at the time you played them though

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat May 06, 2017 1:51 pm

Reckon Palace lose every game and stay up lol, can't see Swansea capitalising on any dropped points sadly.

by Firenze Sat May 06, 2017 1:54 pm

don't need any non English sides in the league anyway IMO

can't wait to sign Siggy

by Firenze Sat May 06, 2017 1:56 pm

Siggy will be at either Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle or Milan next season IMO

hope he stays in the prem tbh

by Firenze Sat May 06, 2017 1:57 pm

commentators gushing over Silva like he's about to retire from a historic career

Easily the most overrated footballer of my generation IMO, he's good, no doubt, but they act like he's an all time great

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat May 06, 2017 1:59 pm

Agreed

What games on TV today btw? I recently got a BT subscription in hype for us finishing 14th next season.

Inb4 Rafa leaves.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat May 06, 2017 2:01 pm

by urbaNRoots Sat May 06, 2017 2:12 pm

Zaha would be a great addition for Newcastle imo.

That would be me admitting he's not a scrub though.

Which can't happen tbh.

City 5-0

FT

by CBarca Sat May 06, 2017 3:39 pm

Insane performance

by Nishankly Sat May 06, 2017 3:40 pm

They've turned up when it was required, 3rd is nearly done and dusted but one draw and it opens things up again. Dammit so much pressure on all the teams, Especially us.

by Firenze Sat May 06, 2017 3:41 pm

Palace were horrific tbh

by Firenze Sat May 06, 2017 3:41 pm

shocked if pool or city drop any points now though, 3rd and 4th on lock IMO
