Funny how, when he put on a football shirt, I thought he was the biggest knob ever, but now he's the exact opposite. Indeed, I like the way he takes a neutral stance with every match, even Utd. ones. Something that Carragher has a lot to learn from. The bold sums it up perfectly.

Oh and thanks to MOTD for totally ignoring the HF display in favour of a Uruguayan flag in the scouse end the size of a tea towel Didn't watch sky (at the game) but watched MOTD when I got home. Usual lip service to us then 20 minutes of mutual Liverpool masturbation. Fowler even said our third goal was the result of a "pump forward" (ie, long ball). Fck off was it, Dann was on the halfway line and chipped it nicely to Murray on the edge of the box, to chest it down for Gayle to smash home. That's not a long ball. Gerrard was trying 40-yard balls out of defence all night. No-one calls him a long-ball merchant. No matter what Pulis does some idiots (Rodgers, Fowler) seem to think they have a monopoly on passing the ball and that TP's teams cannot play. Well fck them, we can play. We defend yes, but when we break we do it with pace, power and skill and showed them tonight what we can do. Beautiful it was too The post-mortem over here on NBCSN was similar, except the two Robbies, Earle and Mustoe, slated Liverpool's defense while giving Palace and TP credit for a never say die attitude. Earle was particularly complimentary of TP for having the courage to change the attacking focus with Gayle and Murray and taking off Puncheon even though he;s been the in-form player. The focus is on the title race, which Liverpool is a part of and we are not. However, all have been saying that Palace has been a definite influence by beating Chelsea and denying Liverpool two points. Also, much more focus on the supporters, with match commentators Arlo White and old Gooner Lee Dixon both making much of the "best supporters in the Prem" being at Selhurst Park. White's call of the third goal, "Gayle, HE SCOOORES!. ASTONISHING SCENES AT SEL-HURST PARK!" were at full voice. Lee Dixon's analysis gave Gayle full credit while slating Liverpool's defense. Same with Bolasie's run and Gayle's finish for the second goal. I also watched the Barclay League's highlight package and the call of third goal was eerily reminiscent of John Motson's "Gray, three-three!" in 1990, coming over as "Gayle, three-three." Back on NBCSN, White made mention of 1990, saying 4-3 was still possible but Palace didn't come back from 0-3 down back then. Edited by kenbarr (06 May 2014 9.59pm) Divorced...And LOVING it!

Sorry, caught up with MOTD2 last night, I don't think Fowler really said anything wrong. He was talking about Johnson's defending, he mentions a ball being pumped forward and the control displayed by Murray but his point was that Johnson should have been closer to Gayle. If that's as bad as it gets then I think we are all getting a tad over sensitive the dignified don't even enter in the game
