That's got to go on target Gouffran.

That's disgraceful refereeing. for one of them to get it wrong is bad, for the pair of them to watch it happen and still agree to disallow it is shocking.

Took his time, picked his spot and finished it with aplomb. Superb technique.

Bit of magic!!

Decent finish but it's shit from Alnwick.

Sounds absolutely dead.

Highbury surely?

The sheer volume of hatred this board has for this bloke means it's unrealistic to expect people to just forget about him and let the thread drop down the board. People will, rightly or wrongly, continue to take the piss and wait for him to fall flat on his face which he inevitably will. Even after our new boss is appointed I can't see the schadenfreude wearing off quickly, if at all. The abuse and ridicule the horrible cretin continues to receive is understandable, warranted and can be contained in the one thread. Wouldn't be against renaming it the Crystal Palace thread however...

Certainly hasn't taken the arseholes at the chronicle long to forget their spine again. Cowardly wankers who are to meek and timid to ask a few difficult questions. Heel boy. Yes sir, anything else sir? Fuck off man.

Beaten but not battered. 0-2

Who are they going to get that'll do any better? Who would work for Lerner? They're in the PL what more do they want?

It's the type of signing we would have made 8 or 10 years ago. Old player, no resale value, on the decline for massive wages on a multi-year contract - one last big payday for the player. That said if he keeps them up this year (think he will tbh) then they'll get another lorryload of cash from the new tv deal and they'll see it as money well spent.

I could just about bring myself to accept it on the basis that Garde and his team would take over on June 1st. It's definitely not what I'd want though, haven't spoken to anyone who actually wants this fat wanker in charge.

I think I'll just wait and see what happens first tbh. For the record I think he's the right man from what I've gathered and if we've got to wait for him and his backroom staff from Lyon to join in June then I'm prepared to bite the bullet and be patient. Get this decision right and we're sorted for the next few years, if we've got to wait then so be it, I'd rather they took their time and got it right than panicked and just got someone.

Just whipped a phone out and taken a fucking selfie.

Totti!

I thought he signed a 5 and a half year contract when he signed? Think he might have 2 and a half years left and the article could be wrong. Just referring to what it said in the article, could well be wrong.

Can't see him being offered a new deal with him about to turn 30. He's got 18 months left on his deal so I think he'll go on the cheap either this window or the next to recoup something for him rather than lose him for nothing.

Last 38 home games (League): W7 D14 L17 Pts35 how does that compare to the fraudew? W18 D5 L15 Pts59 I think.

Wonder how much pressure Poyet would have been under had they lost the derby but won another random game instead. No difference to the table points-wise but their solitary win since 3rd November just happened to come in the derby, maybe that's buying him time?

Hadn't realised they've only won 3 league games this season out of 21 played. They beat us, obviously, but they've only come out winners 3 times in 21 games. That's shit like. I know they've drawn loads but every other club in the division has won more than them so far. Don't think they'll go down but they need to string a few wins together.

Chill, life will get him back in the end. It all equals out.

It's going to be an absolute massacre.

Firmly believe that, if it comes off, this is absolutely the correct thing to do for the club. I think appointing someone like Garde is a great move and even if it doesn't quite work out then I'll not be criticising the actual appointment in any way. Totally 100% behind it, no guarantees it'll work out the way we want but it's the right move in my opinion.
