It's another **** up by Rudkin and Top us having to sell Barnes to cover the losses from mismanagement

Crystal Palace must be the most unworthy winners of this historic competition. 

 

Putting out and inferior side thinking this was simply going to be a walk in the park is disrespectful to football, the fans and the FA Cup itself.

 

Jordan et al should hang their heads in shame.

 

Well done to Macclesfield.

 

Do you mean Simon Jordan?

 

He hasn't been involved with Palace for over 15 years.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Crazy...the cherries missed their chances to win

[RowlattsFox]

He's injured, get him off. Clearly pretending to treat him so Tielemans can warm up. How do refs not know this. 

[foxfanazer]

Surprised Barnes waited until the 8th to take one

[whoareyaaa]

this ever gonna end

[whoareyaaa]

Shame for Bournemouth

[whoareyaaa]

Easy for Villa

[trabuch]

good goal

[Raj]

Bloody great team Emery has built at Villa.

McGinn is a proper midfield  general

Scotland's WC midfield potentially very decent. Shame they're probably still stuck starting Grant Hanley and the like.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Tielemans playing brilliantly, making villa play like man city 👏🏼

[trabuch]

Villa leaving players up at Spurs corners. I like to see that. They are quite easy on the eye. (Sigh)

Yep tippy tappy playing from the back which actually works and is good to see.

Not like our inbred.

[Vacamion]

 

Spurs about to be loudly booed off the pitch.  

 

 

 

[trabuch]

They are too good for spurs.

[whoareyaaa]

So easy no wonder Levy left 

[RowlattsFox]

Spurs reminiscent of us, just going through the motions and not putting the effort in. 3 attacking midfield are woeful.

Not hiring Emrey is the big one

I think you may have Cognitive Bias.  Dare I assume you're prone to believe in conspiracy?  Some people brains are just wired that way.  

I can just see it now some shady character getting all the sunderland and everton players together working out 120 minute draw and then a terrible shootout that will make people like yourself question the validity of 2 premiership teams playing in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.

Spotting things that seemed out of normal have helped me massively in every aspect of my life and my career.  So my brain works like that. You can call it conspiracy, I call it intelligence. My thoughts and assumptions don't affect anyone else.

Our Claudio used to do that in 2015/16.

intelligence is then recognising that actually a lot of penalties will be placed in the same area of the goal because it maximises your chance of scoring - keeper has to guess right and commit early to get to it. And then also applying the knowledge that keepers study penalty takers and tend to have cheat sheets on their water bottles now.

Is this an application for the next series of The Traitors?
