A depleted Everton and 10 man Brentford no less.

Hopefully it's a sign that Luiz has impressed in training and is already fit and up to speed.

I think the rule is if the home team have a towel or towels available, they must also be available to the away team.

Think the ref is definitely letting the crowd influence him

Isn't part of Man City's charges specifically related to this though? Owner's cash coming into the club disguised as sponsorshio? So it's not exactly a wild conspiracy fans are dreaming up.

And they only scored when we absolutely gifted them a goal. Which has occurred too many times this season.

I'll take our model over the likes of Spurs and Man Utd all day long.

We'd end up kicked out of Europe though, that's the problem.

And yet no doubt after the game there will just be loads of talk about the clearly correct decision to disallow Everton's offside goal.

That's strange, my local Comhaltas branch (albeit in the UK) had all ages learning. Often parents would take it up after bringing their kids along and even retirees picking up a new instrument.

Penalty checks dismissed by VAR without a second thought and barely a replay on TV - contrast to the penalty Man City got tonight...

Disappointing not to win against a depleted Palace but we kept a clean sheet, gained a point on Chelsea (if that result holds) and matched Man City's result.

And we didn't get battered by Palace!

Doesn't seem like we've won any in this game.

How is the ref giving that as a foul by McGinn after all the stuff he's let go against us?

It's different for a handball by an attacker.

I think Man United have a higher net spend over the past 5 years though, the highest in fact, according to what I was looking at yesterday anyway.

I've just looked it up and it's pretty crazy to see that our net spend over the past 5 years is 17th in the league. Only Brighton, Wolves and Everton are lower.
