Surely Palace can't... 16/17

[Dougie]

They get £32 MILLION for Bollasie and instead of doing the RIGHT thing and paying their DEBTS they WASTE it on an overpriced LUMP in Benteke , a TRULY rancid club

But we've only been going since 2010 haven't we unrest ? Still the new owners have done the RIGHT thing and made a donation to the London helicopter service after their swift response to help pape souare .

Pale?

Watched quite a bit of the game yesterday. The standard from both teams was awful. Stoke's defending was utterly clueless and they look a shambles in general but Palace were also all over the place at the back. Play like that and all the half decent teams will batter them. Problem is there is a hell of a lot of dross in the PL now so it'll take a big slice of luck for the jesters to get relegated.

Even more dross outside the PL

Even more dross outside the PL

Townsend looked quality best player by a mile but, not sure your 30 million striker did much though very average, Zaha well very average the other meh.

 

[W.C.]

A couple of wins to make sure Pardew doesn't lose the job. Eggsellent.

We had a couple of sloppy moments at the back over 90 minutes but that's because we're trying to transition to a more possession based approach. Palace actually played very well yesterday, nobody was below a 7/10 and a few players in particular (Zaha, Townsend, Mcarthur) were magnificent.

I'm not sure who you mean by "all the half decent teams". Palace aren't competing with Sunderland/Stoke/Hull for relegation spots. With the squad we've got, anything less than a top half finish would be a failure. The likes of Mandanda, Dann, Cabaye, Zaha and Benteke won't stick around if we're sat in 14th place at the end of the season.

Stoke really need Jack Butland back fit really soon. Their run of leaking goals like a sieve started at the back end of last season after Butland got injured in the England friendly against Germany.

Very poor trolling.

Me, a Troll? How dare you! You've had too much Sambuca young man!



Cheers

 

[Hugo Rune]

Also, an injury to your major goal supplier, Scott Dann, and you're finishing bottom. Sorry to disappoint you.

As I was saying ...................

Pity they didn't pay the £22K they owed the London Ambulance Service (NHS) from their last administration.

And please don't confuse things by replying the fans paid it with the help from supporters of other clubs, that was money towards the 19k owed to St Johns Ambulance. Palace owed around a combined £42K to both Ambulance services.

So why did Dann, Cabaye and Zaha stick around for this season when you finished 15th last season?

 

[nicko31]

They have Sunderland next, got a bad feeling the jesters will get 3 points

The slide to the bottom half has begun and Liverpool next week, should see the start of Palace cementing your place down there. Have you noticed Stoke are now just two points behind you now.

No chance of Palace hitting the bottom though. Sunderland, Boro, Burnley and Swansea will all finish below them. There are some really poor teams in the Prem these days: makes me optimistic if we ever get up there

 

[spanish flair]

The plan for a top six finish and entry into Europe is going well again

 

[Bozza]

Sinking like a shitty stone.

Next up: Burnley away. Come on (nuuuuuumber 10) Ashley Barnes.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Plumetting downwards, and they'd hate it if we took their PL spot.

 

[spanish flair]

Only another 33 points to scrap together to stay up .

Scrapped together another 4 points from the next 6 games, keep that form up and the 33 points looks like mission impossible.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Next 5 include away trips to Burnley, Swansea and Hull.

All HUGE relegation 6-pointers.
