I love Carew penalties...

Whaaaaaaack! BOOOM!

Ah, Sidders the solution.

Stoke 1 City 0

wow, i'm feeling this season's FA cup could be coming our way

Why did you say that? This is all your fault!

Oh FFS.

Gabby's problem is simply that he is thick, so, when in a one-on-one with the keeper he is given time to think rather than just react. This is the point it fails which is why we always see a weak shot directly at the keeper.

It's a theory.

Good run, good shot... Damn it, great save.

Carew wondered offside, the berk!

Gabby off for Delfouneso.

Milner off for Sidders.

palace are dirty

Who is that in your avatar?

Another good ball from Carlos.

Good defending Carew - if you're looking at it through the eyes of a Palace fan!

Woop Woop!

Penalty!?!?

It was. Well, should have been.

I've got a nasty feeling about this game. Are we going to dominate but lose?

Ashley needs to remember to play the right ball at times like that. After a great run he forgets he has a team around him!

How did we not score!

Cueller's passing and creativity seems to have improved after his time at right back. He looks like a much better centre back as a result - less hoofing.

Our short corners are looking more and more dangerous. I'm surprised our opponents haven't prepared for it.

Milner got 3 assists, Ash got a goal and an assist but it has to be Downing for the 2 goals.

Surely time for a change. Rest some players MON!

Heskey and Downing - who would have thought!!

Am I the only one who thinks that Ash has played well?

I agree with you. He was lucky with the goal but he's been good otherwise.

Luke Young on for Cuellar. (YES MARTIN, PUT A FULL BACK AT FULL BACK!!!)

I was going to mention this. How can MoN justify constantly playing a lumbering centre back at right back when we have two perfectly good right backs on the bench?? Not saying Cuellar is playing badly there...but im sure L.Young or Beye could do a better job there. I simply cannot get my head around it. Its madness.

Oh...on another note...how shit is Heskey?? Absolutely useless.

I understood MON's choice when playing teams which are dangerous from corners because Cuellar is better with the ball in the air. However, in this game it makes no sense as Burnley haven't scored from a corner all season.

Our problem seems to be a lack of confidence to play a dangerous and cutting pass. It's all been sideways safe passes until eventually Man Utd have 10 men behind the ball and leave us with no options. We need to think faster, pass faster and take some risks.

Is Downing still on the pitch?

Deliberate or not, its a foul.
