The best reason for not going to Leeds is Ken Bates, the bloke is despised by his own fans let alone those of other teams. Grayson got the bullet for being unable to polish a turd, a turd that has been embellished by Bates' failure to give him any of the money he has earned the club in transfer...
Talking bollocks ? Do you live in a cave or something ? Both Celtic and Rangers have been saying for some time that they want to be in the Premier League, they are very aware of how limiting the Scottish Premier League is. In fact are you aware that they planned to break away not so long ago ...
It does make you wonder, how does a team with their average gates get into such a mess ? It's not as though they have to try that hard. I bet they still think that they should get automatic inclusion to the Premier League.
Clubs like Pompey were clutching at straws when they got their dodgy owners, nobody else would entertain them, ask Chester and Darlington, they know this too well.
Selhurst Park is no Amex but on the other hand it's no Withdean either. The problem is that many Palace fans are fed up with having a mediocre team which has limited ambitions.
Maybe, the problem is that Bates is potless like his team but as they are the @mighty Leeds' their reputation alone should carry them back to the Premier League. Being hammered by promotion rivals yesterday won't help him of course. Be a bad move if so and if Grayson has gone I can bet who...
Palace used to win games by spending other peoples' money. Now they have been caught out twice they are just development team for clubs who can afford to pay their way.
Manager of the Month for January
Gus must be in with a chance, unbeaten and knocked out a Premier League club, who else is there ? Milky MacKay maybe ?
There are quite a few grounds that are worse than Selhurst. It's not great for people using their own cars but there again neither is Falmer. The thing is that Palace, rather like us at The Goldstone cannot expand there because of the local housing. If they could find a brownfield site in the...
The reason that people have no sympathy for Portsmouth is that like Palace but unlike the other sides mentioned both have got into this mess twice. Portsmouth have been in a mess for a long time but rather than take the Albion route (cut your costs and your quality) they have continued to spend...
Why is it that so many Palace fans are retarded ? There's a bloody good reason why our crowds declined, we didn't have the capacity. You don't get the crowds as your fans are just about smart enough to realise that now you have to pay what you can afford your team is little more than a...
West Ham's hiding at Portman Road shows yet again how much of a lottery this division is, who would have dreamed that Ipswich would have got a point let alone maul West Ham ? Southampton and Cardiff cancelled each other out nicely. Birmingham are now starting to look like the force that they...
17,200, a very poor turn out however you try and explain it away. Just over 15,000 for local rivals Milwall, only West Ham have taken them over 20,000 this season. The notion of a 40,000 seater looks pointless now, even we'd struggle to fill that.
