Like, why did Atlanta take Loyd? It's just not right.

 

At least they didn't take him only to trade him away to Montreal, like a certain other expansion team full of jerkasses and supported by jerkasses, did.

 

Karius has been dropped, shockingly.

Stones too.

 

At least he has unlimited poutine to look forward to. What has Loyd got in Atlanta? The joy of sharing a stadium with Matt Ryan?

 

Maybe he heard @Dani was going to be there and thought being friends with her sounded cool

 

That's a shocking tackle. How was that not even a yellow?

 

Fuck me Palace are dirty bastards and this ref is doing nothing.

And a clear dive from Cabaye, like embarrassingly clear, right in front of the referee and nothing. Fuck me.

 

Rojo is a fucking idiot

We should be a man down, and scored an offside goal.

 

Swansea is gonna be relegated

 

Yeah...

 

for FUCK SAKE. fuck off rojo

 

Eriksen seems to have heard the haters and acted accordingly

 

Mou touchline ban incoming in 3,2,1...

 

A win, more than one goal, and back to back wins

 

How has Rojo avoided a red for two games in a row, both of which he went in blatantly two footed? What the hell is wrong with him?

Can you imagine if he pulled a tackle like that out on Zlatan in training? He'd kick his head off.

 

Seriously. I can't believe he did it again and then had the cheek to start giving out to the ref.

 

These Rojo tackles are horrific and will end up with him breaking an opponent's leg.

The ref last night was terrible though. The Rojo tackle, the Yohan Kebab dive, the disallowed United goal, the Palace handball and I'm sure there's more. Outrageously bad.

 

Yeah, he let a lot of stuff go very early. Lee and Benteke could/should have been booked and he didn't control the game after that. Then obviously Rojo should have been off, and we got away with a load of fouls. Poor standard of reffing.

 

Match of the Day pounded the ref for four or five incidents. Weirdly though, they didn't go back and talk about the off the ball thing between Cabaye and Zlatan.

The Mata goal being ruled offside and Rojo still being on the pitch seemed the worst of them though. They're just not excusable.

 

Damian Delaney elbowing the ball out of the box was hilarious too, just a dire game all round. There's been at least one contentious decision in all our PL games the last two months or so

 

I'd forgotten that one. That was just bizarre. It wasn't exactly subtle!

 

Zlatan hand ball for the first goal was a dire miss as well

 

forgot about that one! Pogba was offside too lol

 

I thought he wasn't offside because it came off the Palace player?

 

technically not, the palace player has to deliberately play the ball for that to come into effect.
