Cameron Jerome loves playing us. We are his lucky team. He always scores against us.

I was being polite. A concept that appears to be completely alien to you.

I agree maths is hard!! Unfortunately we are only talking about arithmetic!! Must check my adding up before posting in future so the sums police don't catch me out again! Well it did pretty fundamentally undermine your argument ? He'll not get that, man, you used words with more than two syllables. So because I made a fundamental arithmetical error by not double checking my figures, my comprehension of the basics of the English language is now questionable. I would be very interested to understand how you were able to reach such a conclusion without any evidence to support your nefarious suggestion my friend.. .

If we win 8 more games then Huddersfield will have to win 14 out of 16 games to go ahead of us and that's assuming we lose the other 8 remaining games so 8 more wins should guarantee promotion.

Mitro was entitled to go for the ball as neither the defender or the keeper had possession so mitro swung a boot at it. Landing on the keepers leg was a pure accident. The ref clearly saw there was no intent and as mitro was entitled to go for a loose ball.... no foul period.

Although Yedlin headed off the line to preserve our lead it looked to me that it would have been cleared by Ritchie who was behind yedlin and shaping to clear the ball if Yedlin had missed his header? so Bents header was never going to score.

This is the man that waited until we were almost certainly relegated before deciding to sack McLaren. Given his track record of decision making, it's my view that he is the one who blocked incoming transfers in January. Let's look at what could have led Charnley to that conclusion? We were 9 points ahead of 3rd place. Had three players coming back from the Afcon one of whom was a winger Atsu and another being a midfield player in Diame. Charnley clearly arrogantly concluded that we didn't need Townsend or McCarthy as those positions were already covered by players we already had on our books not forgetting that we had Sammy covering for Atsu for a couple of weeks. Its not an unreasonable conclusion, especially if the motivation was to save transfer funds to significantly strengthen the squad when/if we are promoted. I do wonder whether we have agreed to buy those Serbian youngsters, on the advice of Carr, where we are rumoured to have offered £35m. If so that may explain why the £30m profit from the summer wasn't available to rafa.

If Rafa does jump ship I would expect massive previously unheard of repercussions against the club and its hierarchy. I would imagine the gates would drop significantly and season tickets cancelled en-mass.

Don't know why everyone blames Ashley. It's clearly the fault of Charnley. He is the one that ultimately decides whether to pay the asking price for transfers. It's plainly obvious Charnley was not prepared to pay palace any more than we got for Townsend and I think he was right. I also believe he was right not to increase the £15m offer for Mccarthy as I don't believe he is even worth the £13m Everton paid for him.

Watching the game it seemed to me that Clarks timing throughout the game was off his clearance headers were never firm headers that cleared the ball well clear of our area but half hit and were constantly picked up by qpr players on the edge of our area. His clearances on the deck were the same. It may have been due to his head injury and having said that Rafa should have taken him off and put Hanley on in his place.

No way is this team getting promoted. The defence is shocking the midfield is a one man show and the forwards can't finish. Brighton and Reading will be promoted as the top 2. At best we will be in the play offs and we all know what our record is in sudden death games.

I reckon Palace decided it was pay back time because they believed we shafted them by agreeing to let them talk to Pardew and then on top of that we shafted them again by selling Townsend to them so they decided they wanted to screw us financially as revenge for their own errors of judgement. I reckon we have dodged a bullet judging by Townsends performances this season.

They want £2m loan fee and £13m on top of that to buy. Let him stay at Palace. There's no guarantee he will be able to replicate his form of last year anyway.

It's fairly obvious we are saving our money for next summer in order to strengthen the side for life back in the EPL. Mccarthy and townsend are examples of players who have demonstrated they can cut it in the EPL so the club are happy to bring them in this January provided they are available for a reasonable fee. Judging by the round of Everton rejecting £16m it doesn't look like we will be able to agree a reasonable fee. If so Everton can keep him. He will prob run his contract down and go for free in a couple of years. It's sheer greed. £16m for a player who can't get in the first team. We may just have dodged a bullet if we miss out.p

What bollocks If you think we ever stood half a chance of even getting to Wembley never mind winning the fa cup you are completely and utterly eluded period !!

Absolutely no point in trying to progress in the FA Cup when the likes of Chelsea and Man city are still in the competition.

Palace will cave in eventually, unless of course we sign Barrow, either way Palace don't get the cash they want in order to strengthen their side for the relegation battle, unless an EPL team comes in for him on the last day of the transfer window.

Agreed. The defender was two yards outside penalty area when he handled the ball. How on earth the ref gave a pen is beyond me.

As usual we have failed to kill the game and now we will end up playing extra time in all likelihood.

Need to kill this game off with a third goal. We can then take Shelvey off.

With Gayle injured we need to bring in Callum Wilson from Bournemouth asap.

His loss if he would rather join a no Mark club like Watford. Shows he has no ambition apart from retaining his status as a epl player...who can't get a game in the EPL.

Send Ameobi to Derby in part ex for Ince

Ge T Shelvey back a week earlier than expected with this being a replay.
