[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

[rogersix]

Let's be honest here, the level of negative spin put on our chances by you lot is hilarious. But I guess I should expect it, i'm on a rivals message board and most posters are blinded by the rivalry.

If you honestly think we are relegation fodder then fair play but I think there is a fair about of rubbish being posted here. We may have a small squad at the moment but that will improve and I'd rather have our current starting X1 than at least 5 other teams in the league, including the 3 promoted teams.


The era of Vieria has started well. The football looks way more easy on the eye than Roy's. We are currently battering Ipswich at Portman Road and should be 4 up. 2 fantastic signings in so for this summer and more on the way including Andersen hopefully. Im excited and so I should be

if you're bottom 3 in oct, will you still post on here?

The following teams are relegation fodder. Anyone that says otherwise hasn’t been watching the premier league for the last 5 years.

In no particular order

Brentford
Norwich
Watford
Palace
Burnley
Brighton
Wolves
Southampton.

I think both Leeds and West Ham need to be careful.

FWIW, my view is that the three teams that came up are favourites plus palace if you don’t get more players in. The other one is Southampton ….

Relegation fodder means nailed on for relegation.

Both of our clubs are lumped with “The Other 14”. Meaning on any given season, with some bad luck, injuries, key players or managers leaving, relegation is always a possibility.

Granted, it should be less likely now for both our clubs, but you never know. I said further upthread that I think the appointment of Viera is a punt. However if it were my team I’d sooner take a calculated punt than another dinosaur.

That said if your lot get a bad start and Viera’s under the kosh, you could be in trouble. But as always the 3 promoted sides will be the initial favourites for the drop.

You are beating Ipswich who, let’s remind ourselves, finished 9th in League One last season. You’re not’ battering them, you are winning 1-0. You’ve had 5 shots on target. As I said earlier though, pre-season friendlys mean nothing.

It's not just fans, it's the bookies.

Or delusional

You may well be right or very wrong too soon to tell. Regrettably, I like the signings you've made so far but you are still in a race against time to fill the gaps. Could go either way...

Bookies are always right then?

 

[Postman Pat]

Bet365 made £195m profit, so do OK.

Bookies, football journalists and opposition fans are all currently predicting Palace to struggle badly.

If you get some of these players you have been linked to that perception will change, but as things stand your squad is weaker than last season given so many departures and few arrivals.

 

[nickbrighton]

well more often than not yes, thats why they make money. What it is though, is an indication of what a lot of people who are pretty much experts in the field, actually think how you will perform this season.
Remember for every Leicester at 5000-1 that they get spectacularly wrong there are years and years when they by and large get it right.

Just because the bookies have you as one of the favourites to go down doesn't make it so, but I expect them to be closer to the actual outcome than either you, me, or anyone else on this or any other board

No it doesn’t. It’s teams that have a very good chance of getting relegated and those on the list do.

Such a predictable answer

Bookies get loads wrong. For example, when you came up you were favs to go down for the first 2 years but they got that wrong. When Palace were 7 defeats from 7 back in 2017 season we defied the odds and stayed up.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Lol.

*Those that think palace will struggle are either biased fans or wrong bookies*

This is a spoof account isn't it ?

Lol.

We are currently battering Ipswich at Portman Road

Battering? Won 1-0 to a SEGW soft penalty (dive) in a pretty even game per the write up.

BTW, it's not X1 (number one). This is Roman Numerals.

X = ten
i = one

= Starting eleven written at XI (capital i).

You'll learn that when you get to Year 11 at school.

Funny how you forgot to mention we hit the woodwork twice and missed some other guilt edged chances

Are guilt edged chances when Zaha deliberately dives to win a penalty and scores ?

Going close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. You can hit the woodwork as many times as you like but it’s not going to win you games, as we found out last season.

Once again, the Brighton specs are on. It wasn't a dive at all.
