BADLY DRAWN MATCH REPORT #37 CRYSTAL PALACE vs MANCHESTER UNITED

Crystal Palace vs United Tough game, tougher radio punditry!

It's fair to say that Ole had to shuffle the pack as injuries limited his options for the away trip to Crystal Palace. The birthday boy took things in his stride unlike some other commentators.

United's forward line was looking bare as Ole was forced to field one of the highest earning players in world football & a £75 million pound striker up front & the plucky upstarts didn't disappoint. In midfield Fred & McTominay deputised for Herrera & Matic.

Lukaku had a decent night as he bagged a brace to put United's nerves at ease.

Crystal Palace threatened to fight back much to the delight of talk radio pundits everywhere but United rediscovered their composure to restore their two-goal cushion thanks to Ashley Young.

So 29 points out of 33 for the birthday boy, Ole. Paul Ince must be one helluva manager.
