[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

Haven’t you got history for homophobia on here? Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree then.

Well he (Dougie) very much used to have a homophobic signature on his bbs account. Not been on there for a couple of years but unless he has removed it.......

Well is it ?

There's a commonly repeated rule about fewer and less. It goes like this: fewer is used to refer to number among things that are counted, as in "fewer choices" and "fewer problems"; less is used to refer to quantity or amount among things that are measured, as in "less time" and "less effort."

Seeing as you’re referring to goals, which are counted, it most definitely should be fewer.

Do I really have to dig out my folder of pictures of Lewis Dunk getting sat on his arse before conceding? I normally save that for quiet evenings when the other half goes out...

If I were Palace I'd be worried that someone like Liverpool will 'do a Chelsea' on Wharton near the end of the window. Their fans aren't happy with this window and his name seems to be trending more with them on twitter etc.

What a move from Brighton, meeting the contract clause at midnight, it’s either stay at Leeds or go to Brighton, there are no other competitors or options, genius!

He hasn't, and I believe it's directed at me.

How will I ever get over it.

It says more about him than me.

Are they? They finished just above us in a season we were decimated by injuries, had European distractions and a manager that seemed to have checked out from March onwards.

And since then we’ve been spending quite a chunk of the massive transfer income we’ve been accumulating over the last 3 seasons.

I hope you're right. But it's a results business and ours were shocking by season's end. We make a lot of injuries but by the end of the last campaign it looked like it was more than just that, as did not appear to be a happy camp at all. We'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully we've fixed all that.

Yes I agree with you, my humble apologies for my terrible grammar.

Good. Now write it out 100 times, and if it’s not done by sunrise I’ll cut your balls off.

Michael is the not the most eloquent wordsmith. I don't think it's a bad attitude - I suspect there's something else going on.
Anyway, the Bayern fans won't care how well he comes across in interviews when he's curling shots in from 25 yards every week. We'll miss him terribly.

Palace were also decimated by injuries, in fairness. Cheick Doucoure, our best midfielder, missed nearly 200 days with a snapped Achilles. Guehi, Olise & Eze all had months out. Your manager might have checked out from March, but as much as I admire and respect Roy, I'm not sure he had ever checked in last season. I think the stresses of Premier League management had taken a heavy toll on him, and he certainly looked much healthier a few weeks after stepping away.

Eze played in all but 9 games. Olise played half the same as Mitoma.

Not as decimated as we were.

pay us what he’s valued at or bugger off. If they stopped putting stories in the press this could get resolved one way or the other.
FWIW I think he will go.

Seem to recall Brighton being criticised for not selling Caicedo, when we didn’t accept £80m, but held on for £115m.

Correct , stick to your value and if a club wants them they will pay.

Only 2 years left on his contract. This summer represents your biggest chance to really cash in on him. You won’t be getting £65m plus offers for him when he’s only got 18 months left.

We could play hard ball with Caicedo as he signed a new deal and had 4 years left on it when we sold him last summer.
