Released by CPFC today:
Watch the transformation from serviceable front man to an absolute fucking unit and one of the best strikers in the EPL.
Get well (very) soon, big man.
Real Madrid’s Rodrygo just scored a beautiful goal, and the gushing announcer exclaimed “he was attached to the ball like a teenager to his cellphone!”

Texas Tech wins the Big XII indoor track and field men’s and women’s championships. The third consecutive title from the men and the first Big XII championship for the women.
Congratulations and wreck 'em!
That comms guy might need to double-check the dosage. He was hilariously over-the-top all game.
I could be wrong, but I think that guy might be pretty good

Palace and its coach getting the attention of the erudite media.
The “challenge” by Millwall’s goalie that ended up with the side of Mateta’s head being ripped apart - that was dismissed by Millwall as not being intentional and something that happened every week - has been reviewed by an independent council. Said council took the automatic three-match ban and doubled it to six matches.

Chris Richards’ composure on the ball, ability to make room for a pass and to complete that pass is quite remarkable considering he had demonstrated none of these abilities a year ago.
Nketiah got his start today against relegation fodder, and all he did was play himself from 2nd choice striker to 3rd choice striker.
When Sarr was moved into his spot, he was more effective in 10 mins that Nketiah was in the prior 70. Sarr scored a brilliant goal too.
Fucking sickening
Fucking Brighton.
That’s never a fucking penalty
I have no idea what Brighton did to make themselves the darlings of the football establishment, but that they are and they get “Big Six” treatment whenever they’re playing not Big Six teams.
Not even just the penalty, there never should have been 5 minutes added. If ever there was a half of football that called for 1 or 2 minutes added it was that second half. AND the “penalty” happened after the 5 minutes. Fucking fuming.

Brighton: earning hate, one fan at a time.
Just seen it. You’d be mad if they gave that to Salah. Not a pen on any Earth in the multiverse.

It’s fucking awful. Like, I understand he made contact and ended up kicking through Pedros(was it Pedro? I was too busy screaming to remember who it was) foot but let’s use some common fucking sense. There’s no fucking way a penalty should ever be awarded for an attacker happening to put his foot in front of the defender when the rest of his body is blocked out. It’s just never a penalty, never in a million years is that a penalty.

Yeah, it was João Pedro who was felled as if by sniper for what can at best be described as a bit of footsie.

Palace on a seriously good run of late (today’s wobbly performance notwithstanding).
Palace points over the last 5 games compared to the teams above:
Liverpool: -1
Arsenal: +2
Forest: +5
Citeh: +6
Chelsea: +6
Brighton: 0
Villa: +5
Newcastle: +6
Bournemouth: +6
Fulham: +3
Losing ground only to Liverpool is pretty strong.
I never ceases to amaze me how referees will ignore markings on the pitch when determining what is 10 yards.
Arsenal had a free kick at least a yard outside the top of the “D” of Man Utd’s penalty area. The “D” exists only for one reason: to delineate 10 yards from the penalty spot.
So when Anthony Taylor drew his foam line goal-side of the penalty spot - i.e. clearly more than 11 yards from the spot of the kick - Man Utd’s players and coach had a minor shit-fit.
Nothing came of it, and i didn’t care either way anyway, but it’s just so dumb that refs do this every match, every week.
The other one that gets me is that the broad horizontal stripes mown into the grass are 6 yards wide each. You know this because three of them fit perfectly into the “18 yard” box. Yet refs will pace out 10 yards while barely clearing one stripe and/or let the wall creep to one stripe’s width away and just roll with it.
