8 away draws in a row. The chance of losing a 50/50 8 times is 0,39%.

It's fine, boosting our away stats on a lower league team.

God, last season we were in Europe and faced the CL sides Man City and Man Utd. Ofcourse they change it now.

So teams in Europe can't face each other..?

Away vs a Premier League side by default.

That time where Pope had to boot it out of play in the end.. We look so incredibly uncomfortable trying to play out from the back atm.

This goalkeeper has made like 10 saves..

Gordon did well last season. His set piece stats were much better than Trippiers from november, and we could see it aswell. But ofcourse, it's nice to have Tonali for this.

Andersen to Fulham was a sideways move, maybe even an upgrade for him tbh. Nice start to the season, by the way. Palace are truly looking like a team who will challenge for Europe. I wonder why all of your best players wants to leave, while players like Bruno is happy to stay here.

So by signing Guehi, we are indirectly helping Liverpool to offload Gomez for a potensially decent fee? Disaster!

He'll be getting some hefty wages when they have to sell him on the cheap in one of the coming windows.

Here is the entire quote: We usually don't do much in january except from that first window where we had to. I literally specified that I was talking about the last 2, because the first window had nothing to do with the owners loving the january window. I also said "don't do much", meaning that we did something. Just not much imo. Funny how you talk about me being factually wrong when you constanly twist my words and make up what I said as you go. The whole point of the post was just that we prefer the summer, and like you say, that's normal for just about any club. I never meant to say that we do less than most other clubs in january. I was just making a point about not expecting that much activity in january, because my impression is that the owners likes to wait til the summer instead, unless there is a true emergency like the first season.

Question. Do we typically do more business in the summer or winter? Second question. Why do you think we spent way more money and singed way more players in the first january window rather than the other 2?

You know very well why we signed 5 in the first window, lets not be ignorant on purpose over here. That window tells us nothing other than that the owners were desperate to not get relegated. Here's a different stat: in the last 2 seasons, we've spent a grand total of £48m in 2 january windows, signing 2 players. One of them being Ashby for £3m, the other one being Gordon for £45m. Is that much for 2 windows? Compare that to the last 2 summer windows prior to this one.

Both fans of other clubs and the clubs themselves were complaining that we were going to ship unwanted players to Saudi for an inflated price. What happened with that? Another narrative bites the dust?

And Willock. Also we've signed Botman and Lascelles for the january window already. Amazing stuff from Mitchell right away.

If it wasn't for these brilliant passes, they would've lost 7-1!

"Don't usually do much" was my words. The first one was forced.

Yes. Which would not have happened that window had he not started ditching training and such. They wanted £60m. Also, we spent less than £50m that window. As I said, we might get 1 signing, but I wouldn't expect us to spent all the money that we could have spent this summer. Value for the money will get better in the summer.

The consensus here when we lost out on ECL was that it was actually good thing, because we would surely push for top 4 this season without Europe. Some even went as far as saying that we would be challenging for the title.

Feels like they're not even close to the limit with the way that they are spending without any second thought. They just had to sell a hotel to themselves to comply, and yet they go on to spend £150m net again. And by the way, I thought that they had changed the rules on the long contracts. How can they still spend so much with the apparent new rules?

I honestly thought it was normal to bench players for a little while when their heads are in bits. There are lots of examples of that. Don't think playing those games and messing everything up made him feel any better either. We had Livra on the bench.

We don't usually don't do much in january except from that first window where we had to. It's not good for PSR due to inflated prices. 1 signing may be possible, but I wouldn't expect any more.

Willock is actually younger than Longstaff. But you're right. I just wish we were able to move some of these players on and use that money (wages especially) to fund a replacement. Easier said than done though, ofcourse.

By the end of the season, unless there are any changes, these are going to be our 30+ year old outfield players next summer (not including goalkeepers): Jacob Murphy - 30 Krafth - 31 Almiron - 31 Lascelles - 31 Dan Burn - 33 Wilson - 33 Schär - 33 Trippier - 34 Going to have to fill some of these gaps eventually.
