How was that Villa Gestede goal not handball?

Oh well... would have liked Leicester to have won. Hopefully Stoke do the business against the Goons.

That's why i wasn't that bothered about our game being called off. I rode past the ground about 4 o clock and it was just teetering above freezing. Sitting there for 2 and a half hours in those temperatures is horrible, no matter how many layers and gloves you have on!
The bloke across the road invited me to go with him to watch Blackburn's game, but paying £25 to sit there freezing my goolies off didn't appeal to me, and according to reports Rovers were crap!.

Hull does seem to have been sitting back and settling for a modest win when we've been obviously outclassing other teams this season. Not today.
Sorry Charlton.

For any supporters already here, there's a free buffet in the Crown pub on Whalley Road this lunchtime. All food was ready for the game
- The Gannats will be dive bombing the place!
That's a quality touch, and if I'm honest it's gestures like that which keep me interested in the game.
Good day for Killie and the Toon yesterday, both winning 2-1.
For Killie that brings us level with Hamilton and Partick, though they have games in hand and our goal difference is woeful so we're still in the relegation playoff spot, but that's two wins in a row so there's hope...
Newcastle's win sees them out the bottom three and thanks to the 'benevolence' of Uncle Mike I'm getting a free coat! A crafty way of getting rid of stock, and I'm happy to benefit, but I think it would have been a better PR excercise to give them to charity.

The scoring sequence and script was almost exactly the same as at Bournemouth. 2-0 up, then panic sets in (as it always does when this team goes ahead, we look terrified when we go 2-0 up), they get it back to 2-2, we score to make it 3-2 in injury time, celebrate over-enthusiastically (assuming all the hard work has been done?), so the ref adds more time and then we concede a last kick equaliser. Difference this time was that even though we continue to make life difficult for ourselves, we were well and truly robbed; the added added time is debatable, but Terry was so clearly offside, the only explanation I can see is the linesman bottled it.
Having said that, any other team must look forward to playing us despite our often exhilarating football, we are so easy to score against.

Looks like Palace have to reverted to type, starting to look for where the 6-9 points are going to come from to remain safe... 
Rather than the European slots. and Chamakh dive yesterday was a bit embarrassing. Tough one today, wouldn't mind seeing Man U stuffed but that would let Plopp off the hook.

In what way would it let Klopp off the hook? Not sure which hook he is on, although as an Evertonian I hope he is on the hook.
I think Palace will be fine, you are just having a poor run and looking at those 3 consecutive league defeats, they were against Chelsea who, despite their troublesome season, are still capable of taking anyone to the cleaners on their day, a Villa who suddenly seem to have found some fight, or looking at it another way were always going to get a gropy win against someone, and Man City who have the most talented squad in the league. You won't be in the top 4, and probably not in the Europa League places but you will easily get those 6-9 points you are worried about. Don't know why I am trying to reassure you because it makes no difference to me, but I just can't see Palace struggling in the Prem this season.

Did amuse me that they sacked the interim manager after losing 5-0 to Huddersfield during the week, then this happened. Not exactly 'new manager syndrome'

Didn't they also re-fund their fans tickets at Uddersfiled? - could be an expensive season ...

Players, not the club apparently. LINK. Wonder if they'll repeat it.

My coat arrived earlier. As I suspected, it's an absolute disaster of a garment.
Having read reviews it said the arms were short so I went for a large rather than a medium. That didn't really help...
I've no clue what it's made out of but after this brief modelling session I was sweating like Sepp at a corruption hearing.
The faux Burberry is a nice touch and it says "Himalayan Extreme" on it for no reason. I suspect you'd not last long if you tried this up there.
I showed SophRM and she started laughing, stopping only to point out that I couldn't wear it in public and that I look bloody ridiculous.
One bonus is that I feel incredibly powerful wearing it, mostly because I reckon a brisk stretch or roll of the shoulders would see the arms separate from the body. I could use it as a gilet then!

It was a cracker. Definitely a contender for Dive of the Month.
