Should have followed him home and burgled him during the night. See how he likes it.

we are getting caught up in semantics. He hasn't got up to speed with the challenge yet. We look setup to counter from what I've seen and the teams in division aren't interested in attacking us like that. We aren't set up to counter at all. That involves letting the opposition have the ball, sitting deep and hitting them in the break. We've had more possession than our opponents but we haven't got a clue what to do with it. Huddersfield played more counter attacking football yesterday.

We didnt outplay either though. Teams will now let us have possession in the knowledge we look unable to do anything useful with it.

I was down in the dumps after that yesterday but seeing his post match interview reminded me how bad we used to have it. Palace fans finally starting to see through him now as well.

No positives to take into the Reading game at all. 2 defeats, 2 poor performances. We look poor in every area of the pitch. Staggering how many simple 4/5 yard passes didn't even find their man. I was giving Shelvey a bit of stick as he was the main culprit but looking back he was the only midfielder who actually wanted to get on the ball. Not impressed at all by Hayden and surely the game is well and truely up for Anita now after another truely dreadful performance. His place is as a back up right back and nowhere else. Gayle's failure to control simple passes was also a worry and hopefully once Mitrovic is back he's removed from penalty duties.

No, we were politely asking fans who were walking out with them at the end to hand them back, some did but nearly every member of the group had some sort of confontation, one of our group was told ' howay then,take it off me' ,I despair sometimes. There was a group of about 20 of us at the ground last night until dark and back today at 12.30. We are thinking of scaling it down a bit, it was a lot harder than we thought and to be honest we feel a bit deflated after the thefts, although i hope you all agree it did look stunning. It looked amazing mate. You lads should all be so proud of what you have achieved there. Absolutely disgusted that 80 or so people have disgraced themselves by stealing someone else's property.

0-1. Can't see us scoring, always likely to concede.

Never heard that mind. Muted booing at full time for a few seconds followed by half hearted applause where I was sat. You are deaf, it was clear at both times. It was muted at best as was the atmosphere in general. If you heard the Boos I assumed you also heard the mild applause at the end as well, or are you deaf? There wasn't much applause at all throughout the game. Nor booing. There was booing at both hands, anyone in the strawberry corner will confirm it. I was in the East Stand (block F) right next to the Strawberry corner. Mild booing and then applause from that section of the ground at full time. They deserved more stick than that in all honesty.

The team gave the crowd nothing to feed off whatsoever. They played it at pre season friendly pace.

I was there too and this is pretty much spot on.

We did not improve a lot in the second half like, not even close. From what I've been told the fans were angry and frustrated almost throughout, too. I was there. They weren't. You seem to be the only one saying it. I was there you weren't. Atmosphere was flat but no anger whatsoever. At full time there was about 5 seconds of booing and then muted applause for the team. definitely some anger where we were, but it was mainly apathy, frustration and acceptance that we were s***. Just resignation where I was. Didn't notice any anger at all aimed at the players. In fact they got off very lightly.

The Sky Sports mobile app is free and they have all the Championship goals on there by 6pm. With the added bonus of not having to listen to that bitter bastard Michael Gray.

I usually get to my seat more or less right on kick off but I'm going to get there about 20 past 2 today. Going out half an hour earlier so I don't even miss any drinking time.

Well today's the day! Just trying to remember last time I was as excited for a match. Spurs at home for the first match of the 1993/94 season I'm thinking.

chortle. You won't even be inside the ground to see it so why are you getting your knickers in a twist about it?

At the end of the day much hard work has gone into this. The club have backed it. Rafa has backed it. The players have backed it. The opinion of some negative moron on the Internet is irrelevant.

someone who only goes to games to get away from the missus. Anyway you carry on sitting on your hands and hopefully those who are going to get behind the team tomorrow don't interrupt your 90 minute snooze too much. Yawn. Don't need organised flag days for a good atmosphere. A couple of bad tackles or poor refereeing decisions coupled with some good attack minded football cranks the atmosphere up all by itself. The atmosphere has been sh*te for years man. Finally something is being done about it. If you want to sit there in silence then that's your prerogative but don't whine on about those who want to go and create a positive atmosphere for the players.

Hardly a surprising statement from someone who only goes to games to get away from the missus. Benitez himself, no less has already stressed how important a loud and colourful SJP will be this season. Anyway you carry on sitting on your hands and hopefully those who are going to get behind the team tomorrow don't interrupt your 90 minute snooze too much.

I'm just going to shout "Boo-urns" at him.
