You sure you're not the Italian national team? Dive as soon as you get near the penalty box and go fall down like school girls, just like the Italians.
Those blaming Barnes - f'ing SHUT IT you utter TOOLS.
They are cheating c**ts, helped by a useless referee. This is what is ruining football.
Exactly!! Brighton fouling our players like mad, yet many here are saying its cheating Palace, you just have to admit our silky attackers are too quick for Brighton's slow thugish defending bringing them down. Brighton just being ripped apart by a superior team, stop clutching at straws blaming the ref.
More reckless tackling, this time from Hammond - shocking.
OK it sounds like a couple of our players have played a shocker and played right into Palace's hands. However I really feel that Gus is a combination of being naive and being too cocky with much still to learn at this level.
Surely he needed to send the team out knowing it would be a hostile crowd, there would be Palace players testing the Ref all over the pitch, so would be a day for cool heads and not getting lured into rash tackles, even if things start to go wrong. OK you hope for a decent Ref who will stand up against the simulation but Gus should be able to motivate the team so IMHO he has to take the flack. The main issue is whether he learns from this - if not we will never be convincing contenders.
Terrible day. Bridders the only player that turned up in my opinion.

We're top of the league, we're top of the league, we're Crystal Palace, we are top of the league. Just accept it.
Sunday morning pub team, disgusting challenges from Hammond, cant wait for the vist to the Fed-Ex. ( Fed UP Fans )
I know you're angry, but if you really think either of those were not penalties then you're having a laugh. FWIW, Buckley could easily have had one first half but he threw himself over as well, nice touch considering he's apparently a clean player.
The ref helped us, but my word your discipline was atrocious. Crofts could have easily been sent off for a blatant elbow on FFS as well.
The red card obviously changed it, but we were utterly, utterly dominant today from the word go.
Well what formation were you talking about then out of interest? I still have faith in Gus although he does seem to bottle these sort of matches.
Spineless.
No one stood up, I could'nt care less if we had 10 men.
I can take lossing if we make a game of it we did'nt.
Bruno terrible pass to Dunk and a terrible touch by Dunk. Greer did push Murray.
Poyet & Bloom made a huge mistake letting Murray go and never replacing him all this crap about money, we went out and spunked around £3m on CMS and Hoskins.
Palace are not great but what they are positive and direct, Gus take note.
Playing the way we do we need to improve personnel in nearly every position if we want to get out of this league if we dont we are in danger of boring the pants off those attending the Amex.
Player ratings 2 for everyone including Gus.
You could argue that Dunk fouled someone after miscontroling the ball, playing tippy tappy across the back line. Murray should never have been allowed to leave and maybe Greer is being found out at this level. Add to the the team selection after a win midweek and some might argue otherwise. But your right of course, the manager has nothing to answer for at all, never has.
