It's a shame that City's play acting and time wasting tactics weren't shown or mentioned
I know best team won and all teams do it.
I thought City took it to the extreme, players going down holding their face,stretchers being called for,and then the "injured parties" straight back on as if nothing happened.
For a team with their wealth of talent the way they behaved after their 2nd goal was embarrassing and disgraceful.
Some of their players couldn't even leave the field at the end of play with any dignity,instead they behaved like a bunch of gloating yobs,and their manager wasn't much better.

I don't normally watch MOTD when we lose but as we were second up, I gave it a go. The highlights were fair, but what was most shocking was the defending at the corner for their second goal. I have said on another post that I saw Wickham looking at the bench for information as to who he should mark as the corner was coming over, and lo and behold Toure got it front of him while he dithered. But what I couldn't see at the match was Cabaye and Puncheon taking such poor positions at the corner, allowing City to cross along the ground without any interference. If Palace have really been working on corners, then one of the first requirements must be to prevent a low corner getting into the six yard box. I believe in what Pardew is trying to do, but he must bear some responsibility for what can only be described as a comer calamity. All the effort the team made during the match was undone by an unbelievable level of sloppiness.
