Palace will comeback in 2nd half and win won't they?

If Benteke is as eager as this again then you'd never know.

I remember looking a few weeks ago thinking Spurs have a horrible fixture list coming. Win today and get a draw at Anfield and they are in a great position.

Pochettino did wonderful things at Spurs but was poor in big games. This season Mourinho seems to have them picking up a lot of points in them. Interesting times for Spurs

Palace will comeback in 2nd half and win won't they?

Everyone needs to remember Mourinho got the financial backing that Poch was dreaming of though.

Fair to him for getting Levy to loosen those purse strings, but he's been able to beef up that squad impressively. So it should be no surprise they're challenging. It should've been a minimum requirement.

Spurs are pretty awful but doing what they have tto to get a win

yourdeadwright

There you go Palace deserved that

Shanotheslayer

What a save by Guaita

Fully deserved by Palace

Shanotheslayer

Guaita did some unbelievable saves at the end there

Well done Palace. Friend gave Spurs a lot of soft free kicks. That last one there was ridiculous- Spurs player slipped - free kick. Luckily they made a balls of it.

Palace keeper played a blinder.

They have to scrap that taking the knee crap, it's pointless at this stage.

They have more interest in it than fixing the one thing destroying the game.

Spurs weren’t hectic today. I wasn’t as impressed by them as in some of their other games. On today’s form they are not title challengers. It is typically of them though, great performance followed by very average.

eigrod

Unreal season from Southampton so far. 3rd is unbelievable place for them.

Because it’s true.
It’s gone very stale and is just being done for the sake of it now.

Outstanding coach. A lesser man would of folded after that Leicester defeat and they have just went from strength to strength since.

I could see BVB looking at Hasenhuttl now that they sacked Favre.

So tell players they're not allowed to do it? Yeah, great idea.

Let them do it, 3 seconds. What's true? Love to know how anti racism has gone stale?

I think it has gone stale and many players have said so.
Action and court cases let’s people see that’s things are being enforced and not taking the knee.

Who are these many players? All I'm reading is I don't like it but no real reason why.

Just google it. Loads on it.
The entire QPR team are complaining about it just being about PR.

That article is almost 3 months old.

In football terms, Fulham robbed of a peno there.

Eh, apart from that major clanger he dropped for the goal.

Just wishful thinking. Fabinho clearly got the ball.

Fulham far the better team so far.

niallo27

Clearly a push on Salah

The White Feather

Even Deanna Troi from Star Trek thought it was a penalty !!

Clearly an overreaction from salah. He was prepaired to cheat by the looks of it.

Deserved lead. I thought it was a peno too.

So what? Other teams aren't and continue to take the knee.

This is QPR celebrating against Millwall last weekend btw



Some QPR players continue to take a knee before the game too.

So your point is pointless. Unless you support racism.

niallo27

This reminds me of the villa game, Liverpool all over the place.

No I don’t support racism but this knee stuff is just like QPR suggested “PR”.

Ah Jesus, having an opinion now makes you racist.

Anthony Joshua must be a racist too 😁😁
He wants more tangible things done than taking the knee.

Liverpool have been rubbish.

Well depending on the opinion yes? I'm not saying yours is. But having an opinion can be racist.

Is that not basically the definition?

Depends on your opinion. Most white people who don't like it tend to be racist. Like that trump supporters or brexit line.

Agreed. This game is only going one way, Liverpool have nobody on the bench that can change it.

Unearthly

Fulham look a much better team last few games. Great turnaround. I would have said Sheffield United would come good a few weeks ago but they look doomed

tayto lover

So AJ is a racist too ha ha.

You said your point is pointless unless you support racism, so do you think the two of us are racist for having the view that taking the knee is pointless now.

What if your black and a trump supporter.

Surely VAR jad to give a free on Salah no. Matter what way you look at it the Fulham player pushed him i nthe back with 2 hands

tayto lover

There must be a strong wind around the Fulham penalty box.
