Biscuits

Another food thread!

Yum - Digestives, Hob Nobs,Rich Tea, Nice

Decent - Custard Creams, Bourbons

Yuk - Garibaldi, Jammy Dodgers.

I've probably missed some obvious ones!

Fifa 19

Did anyone else get an invite to the Beta testing. Interesting new game mode just for fun. Survival mode. You can turn off the ref and also when you score a goal, you get a player removed.

The gameplay itself seems very similar with a slight tweak to First time touch and shooting is a little different too. Other than that, I am a little underwhelmed by the lack of change.

Rumour: Wickham and Ward out on loan

Quote:

Alan Nixon@reluctantnicko PALACE. Wickham can go on loan for games. STOKE and BLACKBURN checking into that one. Needs action after lay off.

Quote:

Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko WEST BROM. Want Joel Ward from PALACE on loan with a view to a buy. First choice before Tavernier. May try again. Need to bring wallet.

Wickham i could see but loaning out Ward would surely leave us a little short at RB.

Emergency Loan to Lay Off a Large Bet

My friend has a golf treble where 2 legs have come in and 3rd leg is Brooks Koepka who is leading by 2. He would win £82,000 if he wins but given his odds are 6/5 he'd rather lock in a £35,000 profit. Skybet have refused to make any offer to close the bet which is bizarre but to fully lay the bet off on Betfair he needs to find £55,000 in the next few hours. Anyone had a similar issue and found a solution?

Best Palace Defensive Partnership

I think we’re currently watching one of the best defensive partnerships we’ve ever had at the club with Tomkins & Sakho. I still can’t get over just how good Tomkins is - £10mil is proving to be an absolute bargain.

So it got me thinking, which defensive partnership is your favourite in your time supporting Palace?

Player Ratings And Reviews: Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace (FT)

Shocked it hasn't been done by now, slacking after the off season folks ?!

(Ratings out of 10)
WH: 10 Didn't put a foot wrong

AWB: 9 Made light work of Sessegnon and an assist

JT: 8 Solid and assured

MS:8 Solid and seemed always first to react to Waynes saves

PVA: 7.5 Energetic but seemed not to feature in last 30 or so before PS got a run

AT: 7.5 Hard Working as usual, more bullets for the front 2 next time hopefully

JMc: 8 So important, such a reliable Midfielder

LM: 8 Made some good interceptions and a good team up with Jimmy

JS: 8 Would've given him more after his goal but let Christie have too much space on their right for a good while that made me nervous, lovely finish though !

WZ: 8 Thanks to his goal, for a while was worried Chambers had him under wraps but should've had 2, possibly 3 in the end

CB: 7.5 Almost with a 1st half header, was an effective target, Zaha should've buried his flick on in the 2nd half but distinct lack of chances again has me worrying he needs a League goal ASAP

Subs:

CK, AS and PS weren't on long enough to do too much, well except Cheik had a great chance where he should've passed to Jimmy for an easier chance but saw his name in lights instead, we can forgive him it seeing as we were 2 up I suppose :)
