There's that but also in the first half, there were chants relating to "rent" towards our Chelsea loanee and during the second half towards T. Mitchell's side you could hear multiple times some lone fan chanting "f-ing deck him!" Also the commentators probably hear a lot more, but what gets up on the mic and broadcasted and what doesn't is probably unknown to them Its a local football derby in the cup, not a church outing. Nothing different than has been going on for years, players and referees parentage is questioned every game.

Now i can enjoy the rest of my w/e. Hard fought win, game of two halves etc. Think Olise has been taking lessons off Ayew, always looks miserable & his interview was, how we say, Ian Wright-esque Here's the match report from the clubs website . . .

As I was saying at Half Time.. give Mateta the service and scores... say no more...... TBF I think even Benteke might’ve scored that header. It would’ve been a horrendous miss had he not scored.

This was a poor performance overall by Palace and if it wasn’t for Olise I doubt we would have won.. The team looks under prepared every game to me. We are far too slow to move the ball forward in the the early part of the game and this gave Millwall the early initiative and led to their goal. The coaching staff do not have any premier league experience and this is beginning to show. Riedewald should have come on in place of Schlupp after the second goal. Yeah we made hard work of that. Millwall are 11 thugs with very little quality. 1st was absolutely awful. No movement, no aggression and miles off it. Obviously had a bollocking at HT and we looked better. The subs were crap and stopped our momentum. A central midfielder with engine and physical dominance is much needed this month. Schlupp is f***ing useless. Hughes can’t is an 8 not a 6. Gallagher was very rusty but still the only one pressing and tackling.

[Link] Enjoy your w/e HOLer's Yep, thanks eagleman will do. I agree with what you say about Olise's post match interview. He needs lessons from Gallagher who always looks and sounds delighted when he's interviewed after a win. Still, being miserable doesn't stop him being MOTM. Pleased it's not my ears BTW. Finally, why are Emirates trying to look like they have owned the FA Cup for 150 years? Edited by eagleman13 (08 Jan 2022 2.56pm)
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

I am beginning to come round to thinking that Mateta is a better player than Benteke. Full of running, gets into position and can finish. Whereas Benteke is only good if he gets decent crosses and corners. As for the game, not happy with big holes in our midfield causing a lot of panicky clearances and suicide passes. Don't seem to be playing 4-3-3 anymore. Mateta can be frustrating to watch but if it’s a toss up between him and Benteke I’d keep Mateta and get rid of Benteke all day long.

Apologies. I may have been a tad over-optimistic in predicting a draw. This is our usual cup tie crap thus far. Apologies. I meant "over-pessimistic"

Mediocre performance but job done and move on!
