Woy

[Buzzer]

This made me chuckle. They really are hurting right now.

Roy will be here till the end of the season, whatever happens .
Enjoy it while you can lads, as others have said you don't get the chance too often.
As for calling him Woy, doesn't your chairman have a problem with his "R's" ?

I do kind of agree with you regarding taking the mickey about the way he speaks but we're all hypocrites where this is concerned so I'm not sure it's even worth trying to make an issue of it. Do you ever pick any of your fellow Palace fans up if they mention either Bloom's way of speaking or the way Bloom looks? Likewise when your fellow fans' comments about Poyet's ears?

We even had another Palace fan on here who referred to him as "Woy" (before he became Palace manager).

The thing is, we're miles and miles ahead of CPFC2010 off the pitch, and if you go down, you'll be there for some considerable time.

You need a new ground, or if not then three new stands, and if you go down, will be back to 14,000 crowds, players on silly money with long contracts.

We've now caught you up on the pitch, and you can't stand it. It's great. Unlike your complete shambles of a 7 year old club, we have a team totally united, with the fans 100% behind the players, the manager and the owner (a lifelong fan, not some overseas investor only in it for what they can get out of it.)

Agree with you about the Woy bit though, find anyone Mickey taking about anyone with a speech impediment pretty poor. We have plenty to laugh about your club, supporters, owners and manager without stooping to that.

Need to qualify that statement, anyone of any real standing.

Please remind me of the last time a chairman made the statement, "We're sorry we couldn't get a manager, but nobody would accept the job offer."

Replies likely to be:

Yeah yeah but... but you couldn't sell out Withdean in the third division and..and you are in debt up to your eyeballs to Tony Bloom for £250 million and its just plastic fans at the Amex these days not like the hard core always ultras we have. Not to mention when you went into administration when you sold the Goldstone and yet you have a go at us plus you can only dream of T-shirt cannons, light shows, a flea bitten eagle flying around the stadium, third world toilets, cladding etc etc ad nauseam. Wankers.

I don't even agree that he has the minor speech impediment that people ascribe to him. In fact he often rolls his Rs as a number of people do who have lived abroad and want to speak English as clearly as possible with a maximum chance of being understood. I was struck by this once when I heard him say 'zero' (referring to the number of points his team had got in a game) but once something sticks it tends to stay stuck, whether accurate or not.

Probably, but he isn't associated with Palace - so it's okay.

I love how Palace fans get so assy about this, despite "...brighton take it up the bum"

Spotted one Palace fan on Twitter saying he was at the game and it's 'literally Chelsea and Spurs shirts everywhere.'

Bless them.

On MOTD last night, didn't look well

Of course he's not well - he's managing Crystal Palace FFS

Not privy to any boardrooms, but sure its happened before. The Palace situation has been badly managed and the outcome is where they are now, Hodgson will not last, maybe retiring on medical grounds or something similar.

Wurzel went very quickly, as did Big Sam, something wrong under the surface. Anyone, including Palace fans thinking that Woy was the right man for the job, put your hands up. I do becaus ehe'lll take them down.

If Palace lose their next two games, and ship 7 goals without scoring they will be:
Played 8
Lost 8
Scored 0
Conceded 20
GD -20

Effectively they will be on -1 points.

Its ok they have a plan.

They will play Bromley this week - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footb...manchester-united-11230841?service=responsive

Then they have target pts (i know its funny)

Target:

Home wins vs West Ham, Bournemouth, Burnley, Newcastle, Brighton = 15 points
Home draws vs Stoke, Watford, Leicester, West Brom = 4 points
Away wins at Brighton (have to!), Swansea, Huddersfield, Watford = 12 points
Away draws at Newcastle, West Brom, Bournemouth = 3 points

That's a total of 34 points

So we will probably need 4-6 points from Chelsea (h & a)
Moan U (h & a)
Spuds (h & a)
Arse (h & a)
Citeh ( h )
L'pool ( a )
Everton (h & a)
Stoke ( a )
Leicester ( a )
Spammers ( a )
So'ton ( a )

Looked at like this, it's far from over yet.

My first Impression on seeing him after taking charge was how elderly he seems now, ok I know he is 70 but he really is coming across like a doddery old man compared with Harry Redknapp who is still as bright as a button and is the same age
