No problem with literacy.
Just the wankers who think their level of literacy makes them better than anyone else.

To be fair, buzzer doesn't think he's better than 'anyone else'. He just thinks he's better than you. Seems pretty reasonable.

Nice avatar btw. What have you got in your manbag?

Your insults have gone from "ma'am" to "prick" and now to "wankers". You're losing your cool and it's yet another reason why I'm better than you.

See, you're doing it again. Getting all pompous and self righteous and stuff.
You'll never be better than me because I'm a Palace fan.
And you ain't.
Or should that be 'you isn't?'
You is the English expert. You tell me, n'est-ce pas?
That's French for isn't it, je crois.
And je crois is English for I believe.
I believe.
Or je crois as we say en Francis.

Surely the above post means that this thread is now 'google-ad-hostile' and should be moved to 'The Other Stuff' ???

Back on topic, I've never thought players who spend too much time in the U20's ever turn out to be any good. Feel free to prove me wrong, but if was so great wouldn't he be in the U21's by now considering he's in his 20's?

Occasional level two profanity is acceptable, but Soaring Eagle is no longer with us on NSC, so won't be able to repeat it.

I sort of agree with this. In reality it means nothing, it is more of a gamble than anything. If it fails then he is young enough for us to get a return on the investment, if he turns out as good as he is rated then who knows.

It should be 'you aren’t', but do carry on.

When I say 'aren't', I don't mean 'your aunt'. I just thought I needed to clear that up on this occasion.

Based on what exactly Blue? Other than blind hatred/rivalry, I doubt you believe that, hand on heart.

Based on a judement call that you lack enough quality to have anything other than a fool's hope of staying up, and a real doubt that this will change before season start :shrug:

Be interested in how many points you think we will get? Less than Derby in 2007? (11)

IMO, we already have players in Speroni, Ward, Jedinak, Williams, Bolasie and Murray (admittedly, not back till Jan-Feb) who can make the step up without doubt.

The signing of Thomas is a solid one as is KP to come off the bench. Dobbie looks a bit of a poor signing now we are up but i'm sure we can loan him out to a Championship club. How do you know players like Gayle and Campana won't be quality? There potential is huge.

You also say you have a real doubt this will change before the start of the season, how come? There is still 4 weeks to go till we kick off and we have a huge pot of money still left over to play with.

Seems like wishful thinking to me.

Tell me, what do all your new found Rivals fans of Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs think about him. I bet they can't wait to see such flair players.
I bet their fans are really surprised he picked Palace over them, yes?

Funnily enough, that sounds similar to the hype when Sr Vicente signed for the albion.......I hope it turns out better than he did! :lol:

Not wishful thinking at all. I have have much better things to wish for.

I've no inclination to even guess how many points you'll get, but I do reckon you'll be comfortably relegated.

I actually said that I have a real doubt things will change before the start of the season, not that there is doubt, it's a subtle difference. I just base this on the standard of player you've been linked with, but no big deal, it is just a feeling.

In premier league terms I don't rate any of the players you have mentioned, except Williams.


I don't care if you cling to your Fool's Hope though :lolol:

Oh come on don't be shy what did the new rival fans say about your new signing or did they say Crystal Palace who are they. Come back and talk to us when you have played in the Champions League.

No offence, but that is utterly ludicrous. There is not one players amongt those who can make the step up 'without doubt'. You are just hoping they will, based on nothing.

Speroni ought to be okay - the keeper's job isn't any different in a higher league, but he is going to have a LOT to do.
Williams is a tremendous talent, who will do well in time.

None of the six you list would be starters at ANY other Premiership team.

Well Mr Foster, if you are going to get like that, how about you come back and talk to me when you have played in the Premier League?
