That’s a very good point but the reason Pep wins so many trophies is that any time a player in any position is rested or injured. He is replaced by a someone as good if not better. The quality of the team never suffers. I get that leauge clubs play weakened teams but it’s a trophy they are never going to win so the attitude is it’s early season and there is everything to play for promotion and play off wise. I think there are three leauge teams left in the competition. That says it all . Call it the Premier leauge cup from the Quarter final onwards as that’s basically what it is. |

The starter has already been consumed Boston . We’re starting the main course. Boxing has already eaten itself . Look at that debacle on Saturday night at Wembley where the Watford wardrobe got taken out by a very average fighter. A sport Controlled by another nation state who had British a journalist banned from a British venue for writing an article about the saudi state . Embarrassing and Disgraceful in equal measure. |

Clubs like ours and competitions like this are an inconvenience to them . A state owned football club who like Chelsea wouldn’t to compete if they hadn’t been financially doped up to the eyeballs. Wish they would just f**k off and form their own super league which would no doubt be inhabited by a few teams from the Arab rich nations as well . It will be the end game so I wish they would get on with it . |

Watched this in a bar in Barcalona. Mostly people nursing one drink for the whole game . Place emptied at full time . Proper fans. |

Watched the game in a bar in Barcelona with two fellow Rs. Terrible internet connection which was just as well considering what was on offer. We did catch the last 15 minutes or so which I have to say worried me . Get Chair back and quickly. |

I said before on the thread that there was really good atmosphere in the lower loft standing . A few new faces in there as it was a cup match but in general the usual grizzled 40 to 60 year olds showed up . Still going nuts and acting like 20 year olds when Field banged that one . Disappointed at the result but generally happy with the performance and where we are in comparison to this time last year. I get where Brian is coming but this year is about improving from last years nerve shredding season . If that’s getting to top ten and making it through a couple of rounds of cup competition, I’ll take it . Call me Mr unambitous. |

Agreed . Thought the atmosphere was great last night . I’m in safe standing and the general mood was one of positivity despite the defeat . Looking forward to Chair coming back . He will give the extra 10% we need at the moment. Ashby and Saito impressed me last night and Dembele added the impetus we badly needed at half time . Lloyd puts that one in and it was penalties . |

To put things in perspective. Palace have never won a major trophy. Geuhi and Eze alone are worth a 120 million . All things considered we ran them pretty close . Sorry for being defeatist but we’re along way behind even a bottom half premier League team . At the same time I do think we could have started with a stronger side and possibly gone for a bit . |

Don’t normally go to cup games but went along to the game last night . Good atmosphere and in fairness not a lot between the to sides apart Eze who ran the show. Would have liked a longer run but this cup is designed for the premier league teams to win . It’s the leauge cup but the “ leauge “ teams are being discriminated against. We’re never going to win it which is the reason a lot of fans are so ambivalent about it . Sad but that’s the facts of it . The top premier league teams will sack it off in the next few years so it might make for a more even playing field. |

That’s were we’ll be for Millwall game. Hopefully . It does a cracking breakfast as well . If there are any hoops fans who have double booked like we have, that’s where we’ll be . |

Had to laugh at the second clip from the Wednesday fan . At the end of the clip he had decided there should be “ some sort” of VAR for our goal . In the space of five seconds he had decided we had committed an infringement from his position in the stand . Never ever have VAR in this division. We’ve lost a few decisions over the years which would more than likely been overturned. We’ve been on the right side of a few as well . Swings and roundabouts. As for TV chefs . All I’ll say is Gary Rhodes is sadly missed. |

Going there with six mates on Thursday. Double booked unfortunately so will mean looking for a pub with our lot against Waaalll. Beaches are great . Lots of Irish themed bars . Take a trip to the Olympic park . The swimming pool and athletics stadium which is being used by Barcalona at the moment is free to the public during week days . It’s a 15 to minute walk from city centre . Markets and cathedral well worth a look . And has been said watch your pockets and phones . Enjoy. |
