Ah well, the first half was fun.

They must have got a bollocking at half time.

The kids are getting tired which is understandable. Shame - they are playing really well.

No shame in that at all, they gave it their best, but got knackered trying to complete with one of the best teams in the world. I don't think any of them let themselves down and a good few were excellent.

👏

Still beating them on aggregate, too. 😁

I know Villa had 9 first team players out because of coronavirus but were the remaining first team players told to isolate, otherwise it seems abit weird bit to include any of the other 16 players that would be in the first team squad (appreciate it was a cup game not the league).

Not a terrible scoreline by any means. They played really well, good advert for your academy to be fair, they held their own for a long time.

I think it went round the training ground so I think anyone there will be told to isolate, even with a negative test at that time, I think there is a bit of an “at risk” period where it can develop.

Michael Owen talking about what it would have been like with a crowd in... but if a crowd had been allowed in the circumstances that caused this obviously wouldn't have existed.

I preferred Michael Owen before we had to listen to him.

I think three or four of the better rated Academy players were unavailable, too.

Seen a story on Twitter that Sheik Mansour has bought the original FA Cup trophy in order to stop the new owners removing it from the National Football museum. Fair enough, quite a good thing to do, however the posts under it are full of EPL roasters saying things like ‘respect’, ‘lovely gesture’ and the best of all a West Ham fan bemoaning David Gold and lauding Mansour as some Mother Theresa figure because he has parted with £750k to buy the trophy. 
 

A quick search shows Mansour has a net worth of £220 billion pounds. Now obviously that takes into account all assets and not cash in the bank, but even at that I’m sure he’s not struggling for cash, and paying £750k would be like me buying something for pennies, literally.
 

£750k works out as 1/293,333 of his total net worth. If I was to divide my total net worth by 293,333 it comes to 37 pence. So basically he’s just bought an old silver trophy for money that if he lost it down a drain he wouldn’t even notice he had lost it, at the same time as millions of people on this planet live in poverty, struggle to find clean water, have jobs which exploit them and force them to work in unsafe conditions etc etc etc. and people say ‘respect’. :lol:

Is there no VAR in the FA Cup - if there is, how did Palace get away with a blatant pass back in the game against Wolves? 

No idea if there is or isn't, but I doubt a backpass will be covered by VAR. I also didn't watch the game, but about 95% of the things folk think are backpasses are fine in reality.

Is a crystal Palace player passing the ball to the keeper - who uses his hands to stop the ball going out of play, without actually picking it up - a back pass or not? 

The commentators commented it was, I certainly think it was.
