Zaha is a fuking prick, get him done for simulation, 2nd time now

Lets be fair to Zaha, I’d be falling down clutching my face, if I had his face.

 

[MorettiBlade]

Loving Basham's Snoop Doggy Dog do-rag look.

 

[Iceybabey]

Good second half so far

 

[Wards]

They've moaned constantly all game. Would not be surprised if they conned a pen in last minute or two.

 

[shrubbery]

Palace are the worst team I have seen this year for hounding the ref for decisions continuously. Proper horrible bastards.

 

[hull-Blade]

Haha was that Norwood picking Moose up off the floor ?

 

[knowsnowt]

GTFI! 5TH.

 

[knowsnowt]

GTFI! 5TH.

 

[Iceybabey]

You've seen United now f#@k off home

 

[BrinsworthBlade]

Looked better the 2nd half, had some chances, enda should have put his chance away. How dirty was palace though? cheating fuckers

 

[beastarman]

It was the constant demanding of the referee to book and send off players. Plus the play acting... so annoying an disappointing.

 

[BridBladesman]

Another 3 points in the bag, thanks to their keeper

 

[BladeByChoice]

GTFI! 5TH.

And West Spam in the relegation zone by one point

 

[Iceybabey]

Much better second half, finishing needs to be better and we win comfortably.

Shout out Deano for that save, top save and
was very important for the 3pts.

UTB

 

[ucandomagic]

Beautiful scrappy 1-0 win. Think Liverpool!!!

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Smash and grab? Don't give a shit. 36 points. THIRTY SIX. On February 1st!

 

[Need4speed]

Why did Palace switch Zha to the other side in the second half it completely changed the game in our favour

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Great away performance. Some textbook shithousing from both teams. GTFI Blades!!!

 

[shrubbery]

That was excruciating to watch, especially first half. Fantastic 3 points though and even more due to their playacting and constant whining to the ref.

Bang on. No way Baldock was going to survive the second half otherwise. Very strange decision.

 

[Varkanoid]

We got the luck today. CW looked very happy at the end. Missed the red card incident with Egan but commentators saying it was fair to change to yellow. Brilliant battling defensive display. Getting a little worried at the lack of Striking action and the ability to kill a game off. Instead of doing so keep having biting nails time at the end. Once again best chance fell to a wingback (Stevens). Baldock lucky not to have got sent off with the last Zaha challenge.

Dont quite understand why we are not killing games off and knocking them in.

Still. 5th.

Palace a bunch of whinging nancy's

 

[Wardyblade]

Great win. Gets us in the habit of winning again with a run of games that could see us totally safe and establish a push for Europe. Amazing.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Wasn't a thing of beauty, but 3 points in the bag. Sander looked good. He's a fuckin giant.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Should calm the nerves of our perrenial pessimists - another 3 wins and we should be safe.

 

[BladeInIreland]

The level of salt in this view from will be the highest we've ever had.

 

[YES Blade]

Sign of a good team, winning when you don’t play well. So they say anyway!

You’ll take those smash and grab away performances all day long.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

That was excruciating to watch, especially first half. Fantastic 3 points though and even more due to their playacting and constant whining to the ref.

Zaha acting like he was hit in face, no where near. That should be retrospective card.

 

[Varkanoid]

Wasn't a thing of beauty, but 3 points in the bag. Sander looked good. He's a fuckin giant.

LOL watch the highlights for the free kick the one where the ref pulls it back and makes them take it again Fleck, Norwood and Sander stood round and Fleck and Norwood look like hobbits !

 

[wavy-blade]
