Other Games 5th - 7th November
Southampton running Villa ragged. Great strike from Alan Armstrong to give Southampton the lead. Nakamba has continued his rolling around act after taking a hit in the back but decided to hold hid head and do at least three rolls. El Ghazi, after being rightfully booked, gets away with a worse foul then falls over in the penalty area with no contact. Hoeard Webb would have booked him three times. 😬 Still Smith won't have seen any of that. 🤦♂️

What excuse tonight?
"Players distracted by fireworks" perhaps?
I felt Zaha was responsible for enough points on more than a couple of seasons to keep Palace in the Premiership and that they would have gone down without him. I don't think we would be in Europe without Rice and would have been in the Champions League had he been fit for those five or six matches he missed during the run in. Should he leave in the summer we can't mess about with a potential player we need get someone to at least try and replace him as other wise we could drop back a fair bit. It's partly why I really hope we can have a great season as without being too pessimistic I cant see us improving when he has gone, so this may the best we are until a sugar daddy come along and allows us but the Rice's of this world for ourselves.
I can only assume Jesse is a poor trainer whereas with us he was a fave of Moyes
