Yes, they had the momentum. West Brom conceded an own goal, their tails were up after they scored their equaliser, they were playing better than us and looked like scoring again, as at the time we were defending very poorly. The sending off of Pereira changed the game completely.

We took advantage of it, for which I am very grateful, but it doesn’t change the fact that we were poor up until they were reduced to ten men. It doesn’t change the fact that we were also extremely poor against Chelsea, Brighton, Wolves, Burnley & Newcastle in our previous games and there is nothing pathetic in suggesting that Leeds would’ve gone on to win, had their perfectly good goal not been disallowed by VAR, because it was a distinct possibility the way the game was going.

The VAR was wrong, as has been highlighted by the incorrect positioning of the lines on Bamford’s & Clyne’s arms by Shockley Park. This has been done to death Willo and we are well aware that it was disallowed for offside but that Bamford has since been shown to be onside. Leave that one alone for the sake of keeping this on the WBA match thread.

I must admit I did laugh out loud when he said that. It's been said that we don't get the respect we deserve and you won't get a more glaring example of it.

It's hard to say what would have happened had the red card not happened, but having said that, I always felt confident we would win whatever with Wilf in the team. He and Eze were allowed too much space and that was not just because of the red card.

TSN referred to Dermott Gallagher for a referee's view on the red card and he said that due to where Perreira's foot ended up and the fact he extended it it was always going to be red, even if the force was not that strong. Had it been a Palace player I would have been pi$$ed, but the player has to take some responsibility a bit like when Luka was sent off.

One of those rare occasions when you get to experience what it's like to support a big club! Most enjoyable second half since god knows when. Well done Palace

I have now seen a replay. The sending off in my book was tough but he did jerk his knee into PVA which was not clever. It was more a red card that Milo's who clears the ball cleanly but good because the guy places his foot to intercept Milo's follow through Milo gets a red!
Nothing wrong with VAR. It is the guys who make the decisions that are wrong. IMO offside should only be given if there is clear daylight between the players, there should be more tolerance over a physical game and less over shirt pulling and diving.
Regards 11v10. If the 11 don't score the excuse is it is difficult to breakdown a team of 10. If the 11 score 4 the 11 were lucky. Palace were not lucky. They had the teamwork to score 4!
As far as Souness' comments are concerned Palace are Liverpool's bogey team and he has never forgiven our 3 goals to deny them their championship!!!
Lastly, Roy knows the EPL is a marathon not a sprint. He wants to be top 10. Long way to go. Mind you had we beaten Burnley and Newcastle we would be 3rd in the league!!!

Always remembering walking from the Holmesdale to the Whitehorse end at half time!

With greater respect my friend, yes it is.

I'm a blind man, i'm a blind man, now my room is cold,
