Palace have got some stinking fixtures coming up after their next home game against Southampton. Man City(a), Man United(a).
Edit - Chelsea at home after that.

So Palace are the only side in the PL yet to score a goal
Love that their supporters have started to call their manager 'Frank De Feat'
First team in PL history to lose first four games and not score.

Although palace had a shedload of efforts on goal, they didn't look very impressive, some of their play was awful. Burnley look very very poor as well on that showing. There would be a few championship teams looking on and fancying playing either of those teams. Best league in the world, it's laughable.

Crystal Palace are the first top-flight team to lose their first four games without scoring a goal since Preston in 1924/25.
Well done to the record breakers.

Looked good ? Burnley sat back and invited Palace onto them. Despite 4-15 chance ratio Palace were hardly throwing the kitchen sink at it. It was predictable lump it onto Benteke's head tactics
Edit: 4-23 .... even better

And the added bonus was seeing that twunt Mark Bright enjoying the game sat next to his hero chairman. Odious pair of c+nts.
Looking forward to the dozen smug NSC Nigels coming on here to tell us to mind the gap, or that they are a top ten side, or that they will finish comfortably above us, or all their usual sh!*t.
Or maybe they'll finally realise that they are destined to be our poor relations for some time now.

Short term: Hilarious that they managed to lose that game and stretch their goalless and pointless start to the season to 4 games.
Long term: They didn't look as shambolic as I was hoping. It doesn't look like DeBoer has lost the dressing room. They dominated that game and should have won let alone drew. I reckon they'll be fine once they get a win. Hopefully that won't be in 2017(or 2018)...

Sadly have to agree with you.
Burnley looked dreadful-goodness knows how they've managed to get 7 points.
Sadly, these are the type of fixtures they started winning at the end of last season. They need to repeat that or else they're going to be in a pretty poor position when they visit fortress Amex. Listening to the commentary today, Palace's rivals just need to mark Benteke out the game and stop Scott Dann scoring (which Burnley did by the skin of their teeth).

Think Frank has realised that they don't have the players to play his intrigate passing game so has reverted to a more direct game. Not surprisingly they looked better for it as that is really what they are suited to. They have to win v Southampton really as I can't see them getting much out the next 3 games.
Just had a quick google. They were relegated in the 1924-25 season. Oooh... (I don't know that palace will get relegated this season, given their habit of starting seasons poorly, replacing their manager then staying up quite comfortably).
