Yep. This Palace v Brighton game certainly seems a feisty affair.
These two have this wierd rivalry thing going on even though they're nowhere near each other.
I've got so much respect for Andros Townsend - kid grows up in our academy, makes it into the first team and just as he's finding his feet we turn him out on his ear. He didn't want to leave, he was a Spurs lad since he was... what, 8 or something? You could see how hard it was for him, he did interviews where he talked about how tough it was.
But he did leave and now I watch him for Palace and he's a superb player. He didn't sulk or slide into obscurity, he's sucked it up and got on with it and he is now a seriously good midfielder doing a great job for Palace.
I hope the fans appreciate him, they're very lucky to have him.
That incident was similar to ours last week
Sterling basically wasnt 'interfering' with play until he was going to touch it but the Watford player touched it before and went in off Sterling
