New Year's Eve Footie
It's a double header today . I slept through the early match as Citeh's 18 match winning streak was snapped with Palace holding Citeh 0-0. It sounded like am match that was incident filled as Jesus and KDB went off injured for Citeh and Palace missed a last minute penalty.. The lare one is underway as the last placed Baggies host the Gunners , winless in half a dozen matches and with only two goals scored. Will it be seventh time lucky for Pardew and his lads?

About a dozen minutes in and the Baggies are giving it a go as J Rod had a close range header saved by Cech off a cross from former Gunnners trainee, Hal Robson-Kanu while Lacazette had a shot deflected inches wide for a corner by Chris Brunt.
It's halftime and a score familiar to Baggies since Pardew took over. It's 0-0 at the half. Really uneventful and as Jon Champion stated, insipid. The main incident was Kolasinac going off injured and being replaced by young Ashley Maitland-Niles.
Several minutes into the second half . The baggies winless in the last nineteen matches. and The Gunners wearing red shorts for the first time since April 1978 at QPR
Brunt booked for a foul on Wilshere and Mustafi for one on Hal Robson-Kanu
I was reading about updates in Lacazette and just read that Ben Foster made a decent kick save.
Lacazette diverted a pass from Alexis inches wide, when in all honesty, he new very little about it . The same can be said about Ben Foster,
Like for like as Merte is on for Kos.
A double substitution for the Baggies. Krystkowiak on for Chris Brunt and James McClean on for Matty Phillips. Pretty much like for like on those changes as well.
Another like for like as Wellie is on for Iwobi
The final roll of the dice for Alan Pardew is Alan Nyonm is on for Hal Robson-Kanu. Sounds like he's settling for a 0-0 draw. Sound familiar?
I was reading Lacazette and was surprised to read that Gareth Barry won a free kick just outside the Gunners box.
Into the wall as it was not hit McCleanly.
Alexis fouled by a combination of Craig Dawson and Gareth Barry in the Baggies D. Dawson booked.
GOAL !!!!! HE BAGGIES PAY FOR THAT MISTAKE AND ALEXIS, WHO WON THE FREE KICK SCORES BY SHOOTING IT THROUGH A CRUMBLING WALL.
First goal in 173 minutes of play and nearly over 250 minutes of televised matches.
PENALTY BAGGEIS AND REALLY HARSH ON CHAMBERS AND THE GUNNERS OFF PASS FROM FORMER GUNNER, KIERAN GIBBS.
GOAL !!!! J ROD SCORES FROM THE SPOT, SENDING CECH THE WRONG WAY
Wilshere talked himself into the book. Harsh on the Gunners as there's not much Chambers could have done to have got out of the way
A quartet of stoppage time minutes.
Wenger still livid and Mike Dean has been called over to warn the Gunners manager
It finishes 1-1 in what was a dramatic finale . The Baggies tied it up with a penalty that was harsh on the Gunners and several Gunners players are having words with the officials.
That's it for me. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.
