Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace

Diouf! He's just raised his price by a tenner. He's almost worth twenty quid now.
 
I have no idea what would have happened there if Diouf had scored.
 
Anyone else hears the commentator call that Palace player "pikachu"?
 
Alan McInally M.D. just diagnosed Scannell's knee from the gantry. feck he's good.
 
Happy Birthday kps, I genuinely wish we had kept scholes for games like these. Coach/Player role with him pinging balls around teams like Palace once or twice a season :p
 
We have been borderline awful, pretty sure Morrison or even pogba couldn't have done any worse than this. Hope he brings on either of them early on in the second half to at least provide some excitement.
 
Not a bad effort that, tbh.

About the only thing of any note he's done all game, but still.

Nothing borderline about it.
 
I'm starting to wonder whether the likes of Gibson and Diouf are playing in games like this to assure we get money for them next summer and they don't leave for free because of that rumoured rule that a player can break their contract if they are not played in a certain % of games.

Yeah but Gibson is on his last year right? So don't see how we'd get anything significant for him even if someone came in for him in jan. The thing is with him I can understand why we're playing him as we're low on midfield options and we know he's alright if we can get him fit. I just don't get Diouf. He's clearly not good enough for united and we're surely not going to put up his price tag any higher then it was after his loan at Blackburn, if anything I reckon it must be going down.

I'm not even surprised at the performance tbh. We've seen this a fair few times now where we bring in too many rusty players, particularly those returning from injury. There's just not enough sharpness and as there's no real youth players either you don't even have that enthusiasm they bring.
 
Why are they stopping the game when he is not on the pitch?
 
Was that a mexican wave? Redcafe goes into meltdown
 
Can you see now why so many people want Pogba and Morrison in the side?

These horrible performances are predictable in the CC.
