JCL LOL.....I probably been to more Albion games before you were born, than you have since you been living.....

So you guys with thousands of posts can dish it but you can't take it. Too easy!

But just to be clear: they were relegated. Yes?

PS: You must have been to a hell of a lot of games in the 40s and 50s...

Holloway is not everyones cup of tea. But he got unfashionable blackpool promoted to the premiership on a low budget. Got them back to the playoff final following relegation only to be beaten by west ham. He has just steered crystal palace to the premiership on a budget similar to our. Poyet has won league one. On the records how is poyet better than holloway.

I can take it alright. Yes they were relegated with probably the lowest playing budget in prem history.. If you don't think Blackpool made a good fist of it in the prem, them you are in a very small minority...

PS,,,,If you make comments like a 16 yr old, don't be surprised if people take you for one.

He's a ****, but in all fairness he out done the foreign *****!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Not the mug so many on here said and also a lot of Palace Fans. Well done Ian for rising above it and proving so many people wrong.

Pretty easy to do tho eh when you've got Zaha and Murray and Kevin ****ing Phillips. Simple steering job and he almost ****ed it up.

 

[Napper]

Proved nsc wrong

 

[TheMajor]

Hold on Holloway inherited a team that was in second spot and had to rely on the last ten minutes of the regular league season to secure a play off spot. Most Palace wanted rid of him - he is more of a man for a cup run (which essentially is what the play offs are).

If he keeps them up next season then that WILL be some achievement.

 

[Surf's Up]

Hollaway's team won because they went back to playing the Freedman way (defend high up the pitch, close players down all over the pitch and give the ball to Zaha). The only thing they had to change was the final ball because Murray got injured.

 

[GT49er]

Well, even though he is the Palace manager, I like him. I reckon he's a decent manager too.

 

[Threeagles]

Palace fans ABSOLUTELY HATED him him three weeks ago.

Another deluded Brighton fan...

True fans never doubted him. A few plastics maybe(you should know a lot about these), but the true fans who follow Palace everywhere will support any manager.

Maybe you lot could learn a few lessons from us....

I know an entire family of palace, and all 3 generations wanted hollowhead gone 6 weeks ago. Fact is that football fans are fickle and our respective clubs are no different in that aspect.

How many of your 33000 today have set foot in Selhurst in the last 5 seasons? How many of those 33000 are plastics?

And we've got our own clutch of names .. Kooshack, Bridge, Bridcutt, Buckley etc.

Had a wobble but did a good job, and managed to pick them up when they looked dead and buried. Don't like him but credit where credit's due

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Okay, he does talk a lot, and sometimes its rubbish, but its probably done to deflect the attention away from his players. He wasn't out of order in his quotes about BHA considering what happened at the Amex.
He turned around the fortunes of a club that limped into the play offs into deserved Wembley winners. He is evidently a good manager, just wish others could admit so.

Not only that he hasn't used every media opportunity to promote himself.

 

[ferring seagull]

Speak for yourself, very happy to be managerless if Holloway was the alternative.

This !

Oh, grow up mate.

If you noticed I never said we didn't have a few plastics. But for sheer potential support we walk all over you and always will...(look at the history and facts !)

Fact is..being in the London catchment area it is tough to retain local support with the vast number of clubs in the prem already. I just hope now we are up our locals will start to come back, as I know many people who still go but their kids get swept along with the youth of today just wanting instant success and therefore support Arsenal one week and Chelsea the next !

You do not have this problem hence the greater support in more recent times, but another season without success and I think "The Major" may have to remove his thread about support... truth be known you know as well as we do who has the greater support over the LONG term !

Now we have a permanent home of our own our true level of support is clear and obvious for all to see. Personally I hope that a decent amount will now be spent on selhurst as in all honesty its a poor advert for the league its now representing.

Some will see this season as a failure for us, some of us can see that year on year we are improving significantly.

Well done today, enjoy next season as history tells us that you will be back in this league soon enough

More bullshit from The Major. Holloway took over when we were 4th, we finished 5th and won the playoffs
