Agreed. The abuse wasn't all one way traffic.

I read Dave Jones's post-match comments and it sounded like he had an axe to grind so I'm not surprised to learn he has a historical hatred for Leeds.

From my experience - I was one of the 38,000 people at Elland Road when Leeds beat Bristol Rovers to secure promotion to the Championship in 2010 - Leeds supporters are generally very passionate and love their club.
We're talking about Yorkshire here, not affluent London. Many Leeds supporters are blokes who work hard in lowly paid jobs. Watching their team every week means so much to them.

The fan who ran onto the pitch last week and assaulted Chris Kirkland seems to be a troubled young man. Funnily enough he doesn't even live in Yorkshire! He pleaded guilty and has received a 4-month jail term.

Also I thought Kirkland's comments were a bit soft. As a strong, fit and sober professional sportsman being felled by a massively drunk spectator he probably feels a bit chastened.
I think someone like Andrew Symonds would've handled him a bit differently if he was standing in goal!

He will obviously be getting paid a lot more at Bolton. Palace have had a great start to the season so far, can't say the same for Bolton.

Shiteh hammered 3-1 by Ajax after leading. Great to see the the scum on the verge of elimination. Dortmund knocked off Real Madrid which makes their task harder.
Arsenal lost 2-0 to Schalke at home

Palace are top after a 5-0 flogging of Ipswich.

Cardiff were involved in an incredible game. Raced out to a 2-0 lead but it was 2-2 at half time. That soon became a 2-5 deficit before scoring two goals in injury time to make the final score 4-5.

Defence is an absolute shambles away from home. They have conceded 18 in 8 away games, compare that to 4 in 7 home games!

I would say not, Freedman turned them around and had them on a good thing but he has said it was getting to the point where he was looking to move on and of coarse the bolton job came calling, but palace are not the complete rubbish they where a couple seasons ago
