If that's a prelude I hope this Mazraouhi character is ready for a long night. Just got taken to the cleaners.

Goal goes in, commentator immediately starts talking about Isak transferring to another club. Fuck off.

Soulless game of football. I’m 50-50 on whether City are going to buy their way out in Jan or allow this to continue and make a clean break with Guardiola in the summer. The life has gone out of him, I think any revival will be temporary.

Lush finish, you have to say. Fucked up the first two but sorted it at the third attempt.

Then, as his arse-cheeks embraced the netty for the next four hours, he had plenty of time to get into bitch-fights with people on twitter before rage-blocking them.

If they want him, they know where they can find him. At the corner of Eat Shit and Fuck Off.

Bye scabs Top 3, you're having a laugh.

Certain penalty on Willock, non-corner leading to a goal, Yates has been fouling us up and down the pitch. You really do wonder about the state of reffing when you see incompetent performances like this and the one last week.

Get fucked. I can't think of an individual who is more toxic in the entire world of football.

We're not going back! Harris will take the Rust Belt, and that's the ballgame. She'll add Nevada and Georgia as well and make a run at North Carolina and Arizona but come up short. Expect Trump to declare victory at around 10pm EST tonight, when he is already behind.

That's Partey's sixth or seventh foul now, I guess we'll just keep playing until he literally snaps someone.

Yeah, we were all at sea and heading for a heavy defeat until the equaliser came from pretty much nothing, and then we've been well in it. We need to avoid a repeat in the second half and come out strong. Joelinton snapping Palmer on 45 minutes and 2 seconds would be a great start.

Schar wanted to take him out there, he's late to the challenge and the tackle was a failure too. All around awful. Livramento left in no man's land as well. This isn't going to be a pleasant watch. As predicted, the first time the injuries come in we start falling to shit immediately.

The fucking frauds and chancers we had in and about this club during the Ashley years, man. It beggars belief that a business worth hundreds of millions of pounds could've been run by a casino owner, a purveyor of the cheapest of cheap sportswear, an unearthed fossil who once coached a halfway decent team 15 years prior, a couple of no-name agents who signed two of the worst players we've ever seen in black and white, and worst of all, Dennis fucking Wise. This latest bout of projectile vomit from Allardyce is Bruce-level revisionism. Absolute nonsense. The idea of Sam Allardyce coaching Modric is...I think I'd rather have not signed him, have him sign for Liverpool and bang in six against us in one game, than have to watch him being turned into a water carrier by that fat fucking joke.

Considering he's managed every bastard club in the Championship, that's not hard.

I think if everyone's fit, Kelly doesn't get a game, and Hall was agreed last season.

Anita was absolute dogshit but at least he was (ostensibly) a first-team player. We've bought nobody for the first team and have instead dredged up an ancient relic, signed a fifth-choice keeper that nobody wants and who in all likelihood will never appear in our colours, and brought in a covering CB on a free. PSR or no PSR it is an abject failure.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner on Marc Guehi: "I can confirm [he will remain a Palace player]. It was never really in doubt. Congrats to Crystal Palace, to the chairman, to the owners that they didn't give in especially after the transfer of Joachim Andersen it was very important that Marc stays. "Congrats" to the club and owners? Smallest of small-time thinking.

We've seen this play before, I'm just saying that I remember the ending.

We will get nowt, tensions worsen between Eddie and the new supervisory bozos until he walks in November with us in 9th.

That's a lush casserole. But I think your post mentioned something about pizza?

7 pages of absolute blather and another day no closer to an incoming transfer.

Let's chuck a bid in for this Lacroix bloke. It'd be counterproductive but Palace should see they aren't the only ones who can play silly buggers.

Here’s the 4-1-1. If you’re going to be in the zone, you need your goddamn guys to step up to the plate, and if they can’t do it, they’re going to be riding pine. Capisce?

I'm erring on the side of caution but I'm not sure these predictions of 9th are that far wide of the mark. We haven't strengthened at all. We're an injury to Isak or Gordon away from toothlessness. Considering the short shrift we got off VAR last season, we're not going to be able to count on the free points that Man U or Chelsea can expect, and who knows what condition Tonali is going to come back in.
