Indeed. Our recent history of not producing youngsters that have gone onto hit the big time will count against us here. Just look at the price Saints got for Chamberlain, there's no way they would have got that had they not produced Bale and Walcott. Can't see Bloom would turn £3m-£5m down for him.
Reminds me of a clip I saw on that Rude Tube programme on E4. Some bloke wandering at a festival comes out of a portaloo just a woman is presenting a TV piece showing the toliet facilities at the festival. He looks a bit surprised by this but proceeds to walk over to the urinal and WASH HIS...
So getting the team promoted last year and to the top of the Championship has been a fluke? You might not like the bloke but to say he has done f all is taking it slightly too far
Don't blame you. Freedman is perfect for Palace and doing a great job so far. Same as I wouldn't swap Poyet for ANYONE in the world right now. We have had the perfect 18 months with him in charge and no-one could have achieved anything more.
Does anyone actually give a monkey's that Palace fans can mis-represent a quote? We've known all along that should one of the top clubs come calling and we're stagnating then he'd be off. But there's no sign of us stagnating or any top clubs that need a manager that would consider someone so...
Good news. Hoping to see him on the pitch or bench but as said above, think it's just part of getting him into the routine and part of the squad. Spaz warmed up on the pitch with the players at Bristol City on Saturday despite not being on the bench.
Extra time would be rubbish considering the proximity of the Leeds game. We looked knackered against Posh after extra time against Sunderland and that was with an extra 48 hours recovery time
