The So, 3 o'clock on Saturday was unable to watch the game, well basically fight the internet to find a way to watch the game very kindly

offered a ticket which I wasn't able to take so thank you very much as a person that

reached out to offer that but yeah I was not able to go and could not fight the internet to watch it and thought to myself

I look forward to watching extended highlights or maybe even finding a copy of the

the whole game somewhere and looking back on you know it's

comfortable three-nill win in the event I I haven't bothered. Oh dear it's got to

that already this this. Has it three games in? You've given up?

No, not at all. I just decided not to subject myself to 90 minutes of watching

Man United losing to Crystal Palace in a game I already knew

the result of.

That seemed like difficult to do.

Yeah, so what happened?

What happened? Why, we were all confident on the show and when last we spoke I think you

chastised me for my moderate prediction of a tune in the wind?

Yeah, I mean, thinking back to our predictions

and forecast and analysis of the game,

I think our analysis is about right that you know palace would play a pretty traditional

442 which they sort of did I mean it was more like 451 with 442 when they were attacking and Zaha joined the IU up front.

But they just defended these two very low blocks.

And so I think our analysis was right, in fact our preseason analysis of where United and the types of games United might struggle is right as well

We were just wildly optimistic on the result

So basically if you want to beat this united team either you're good enough to pass around the press
