Oh blimey. That's quite a gap. They best mind that.
They do like to brag that they have come above us apart from twice(?) every year for 30 years, but, unlike us they have never finished above 10 th in the PL, and they’ve never got above 50 points.
I know that football didn’t start in 1992, but that is quite a failure really, when you consider how much money they’ve spent.

30 years, they've only been in existence since 2010

Good ol Beaky. Struggling to read the room
ETA And he has banned the girls teams from using their "state of the art and no longer rat infested we presume" training facilities. Wow! We expand our facilities to accommodate more use by our women players. They won't let their women players through the gates.
Not only a gap in terms of points and places but a huge chasm in class. Misogeny is alive and well and has taken a long lease in Beaky's head.
How much money has Mr Bloom put in? 300Mill at least, and yet you are calling Palace out for spending pots of money

Ah that old chestnut, not heard that for a while
its still true though isn't it? Despite your clubs attempts to rewrite history and claim to be the oldest club in the world. Laughable really,

Trying to get some of that sweet sweet Saudi moooola.
2 things,
A large amount of that 300 million went on infrastructure, very little of your spend has, and, my point is you’ve never finished higher than 10th for all the money you’ve squandered, we have.

Yes it’s about that amount, but to be fair to us the majority of that has gone on building a stadium and a training ground from scratch. I think the football side of things is now beginning to become sustainable, we’ve actually got players that other teams want to buy. So huge start up costs but hopefully it’ll start to turn a profit.
Trying that stunt again, are they?

I've read a lot of predictions of Palace kicking on this season. Obviously it could be my own cognitive bias, but I'm wondering if many are overlooking just how heavily they depended on Gallagher last year. They played 4 games without him*, losing three and winning one. They played only 8 games where he didn't play for 90 minutes, winning one, drawing three and losing four. The two wins were against Norwich and Watford. Although he won the ball a lot, he was not really a defensive midfielder, playing in front of Kouyate and on the front foot most of the time. He was their second highest scorer and assist maker. Cheik Doucoure, although ostensibly bought to replace Gallagher, looks to be far more of a typical 'win tackles and pass it' defensive midfielder, who isn't as suited to pressing and driving the team forward. I'm getting hopeful hints of 'Bielsa's Leeds without Phillips' vibes. If Vieira doesn't have a style change planned, it will be interesting to see how they manage to press with one of Doucoure, Hughes or McArthur attempting to do what Gallagher managed against EPL quality midfielders.
* - Granted two against Chelsea, (Although we didn't lose to them home or away despite being without Bissouma in one match and both being before Caicedo's emergence).

All of this is very interesting but will their new stand be ready for their August kick off ?
If you read the 2018 press release, it was ready at the start of last season.
When I went to Selhurst last season, I was very impressed with the way they have sympathetically blended the new stand in with the old decrepit ones. You really can’t tell what is new stand, and what isn’t.

Yes, just don’t try and pin them down to which August though.

Poor old Pilarse, clinging on to half truths, misguided optmism and a failing club, I almost feel sorry for you.

Sounds like you’re fearful Timothy.
