Better than Lukaku? No. There's not a hope in hell that he'll be an Everton player next season though. He'll be in the top 4 or he'll leave the PL. Benteke is probably better than Vardy though. He's got a far more consistent goal ratio in the top flight. Vardy had an incredible season in 2015...

Some more on Allardyce: Sky are reporting that there was no fall out with Steve Parish. There wasn't any disagreement on transfer budget. Sam wanted to go out on a high and felt he'd restored his reputation in England. Sam thought now was the best time to leave as it would give Palace ample...

I think I need a change of underpants.

Warnock it is then.

I think every single person connected with Palace will be delighted with that arrangement, as relegation was a very real possiblity before he came in. The Independant are reporting that Sam is resigning to take some time away from football. Even if that's not true and he's resigning because we...

They still get the yellow card though, as Sam says. If we're going to have punishments dished out retrospectively (which is fine) they should also remove incorrectly awarded yellow cards.

Totally agree with Sam here, to be honest. Palace have been penalized for diving on a few occasions in recent months and all of them have been incorrect decisions. Meanwhile, Andros Townsend dived against Arsenal and won the penalty which we scored to put the game to bed at 3-0. If we're going...

Allardyce got Bolton into Europe. He has rightly earned a name for himself as someone who all but guarantees Premier League survival. Chris Hughton strikes me as a thoroughly likeable and professional man (unfortunately) but I am certain that you'd have a better chance of survival next season...

I don't know. We're selling out every week at the moment so it doesn't really mean much, does it? I'm sure if we had a larger stadium like yours we'd be filling that as well. We had (and still have) an advantage in league position. We've also got a far better squad and a better manager with...

I don't understand why this is a shock to anyone. Every team in the country (including Palace and Brighton) have a significant number of "plastic" fans who will only attend when things are going well. Thousands of people didn't want to go to the Withdean because it was an absolute sh*thole...

This time last year I'd have been distraught at the thought of letting him go, but since suffering from a serious injury he hasn't been the same player. If he can get back to his previous level then he'd be a fantastic signing for any bottom half team. He is a true box-to-box midfielder, strong...

He's an utterly sensational defender. By far the best centre half to ever play for either of our clubs.

We've got no centre backs. Sakho, Dann, Tomkins all out for the rest of the season and Delaney's legs have totally gone. We were forced to play Schlupp (a left winger) and Kelly (a right back) at CB today. We won't pick up another point this season; we're relying on Swansea or Hull failing to...

Im confused; do teams usually score 3 goals when parking the bus? We created far more chances than Arsenal. I've just watched the game back on sky and the general consensus during the analysis was that it could easily have been 4 or 5 nil. We were absolutely brilliant tonight. Allardyce is...

You certainly do have a better keeper than us, but there's not a chance your CB's are better. I'd take Dunk over Delaney but Tomkins, Dann and Sakho are all far better than anything you've got. Sakho in particular is the best CB I've ever seen at Palace. I just hope that we can persuade Zaha...

Mental, isn't it? We've lost to Swansea TWICE, lost 4-0 to Sunderland at home in the first half, etc. and yet the bookies still think we're odds on to survive. What BFS has managed to do in the last month or so just shows how poor Pardew was. There's no way a squad like ours should be in a...

It's a horrible run in - by far the worst of any side in the league - but Fat Sam has managed to turn things around with 3 wins and 3 clean sheets on the bounce. We look solid at the back for the first time in well over a year, and with Zaha up top we can cause problems for anyone. I think we'll...

Mcarthur booked for diving in area despite being very clearly fouled. Unfortunately, Palace players need to be decapitated in the box in order to get a penalty. Video evidence shows that Palace should've had three yesterday, instead we get 0 and a yellow card for diving :ffsparr:

This is true, and in all honesty I've been very worried about it for the last few months. Pardew seemed to be doing his best to run the club into the ground and players simply weren't playing for the shirt. The only players who looked like they really cared were Zaha and Cabaye. Fortunately...

Murray's brilliant and we all love him at Selhurst, but he's not a patch on Benteke. Glenn was incredibly useful for us and his 31 goals were absolutely massive in our promotion season, but Benteke is a proven PL striker who scores a goal every other game. There's a reason Murray cost £3m and...
