Crystal Palace v Burnley Match Preview

Wout probably speaks excellent English whereas Max may not and so finds it more difficult understanding "hoofball" and "give it some welly" and other such technical english footie jargon.

He probably didn't understand what was meant by 'training in freezing rain and sleet all day long' either, but I bet he does now.

A bit of an ominous comment from Sean in his midweek presser, he said Wout had bought into our culture immediately, it was like he'd been here all his career, Maxwell was taking longer, but he was a nice lad, and a pleasure to have around the place.

Seeing as Wout has only been here a couple of weeks and Maxwell has been here all season, make of that what you will.

I'm in no way suggesting SD has a penchant for racial bias but I think he does!

Or it could just be that players of African origin, used to living in places Lyon, don't much appreciate our winters. I know for a fact King Arthur and his missus certainly didn't. And why would they, I don't like them much either. But if Maxwell doesn't like freezing rain dripping down his neck, that's hardly Sean's fault, or racism.
