GeordieDazzler Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Yeah, no issue with Palace. They are definitely one of the more socially aware clubs and they regularly have banners posters and have protested stuff before. I think we won't see as strong an effort as that from other teams.

Awaymag Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 The best thing NUFC fans can do .....is ignore it all. So many times Ive wanted to bite on twitter, even started a reply but then thought.......nah that's what they want. Ignore and it will slowly start to get less and less.

McCormick Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) I think this takeover has been tough for Palace fans as we are/were in that mini-league of clubs in no man’s land; just hovering above the relegation spots year on year in the faint hope that one day it clicks and we manage to break into the top 10 or get forgiving cup ties. Must be soul-destroying to see us potentially breaking out of that depressing mould and looking at bigger and brighter things.

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I work with Palace and I think they're a really good club. Behind the scenes, they're trying a lot of things to evolve the fanbase and create a direction. They have to fight hard for new supporters and they put a lot of effort into fan experience. Some of it is trial and error so it can come across as a bit of artificial but they really do have a lot of competitive factors to contend with.

KaKa Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Just been watching the game back and I have to say Lascelles was terrible. He should have always been looking to attach himself to Benteke being our biggest and most physical defender, but instead he kept passing him onto Krafth and Clarke and then was standing in space and picking up no one. Looked like he was scared of him. Utterly ridiculous. Edited October 24, 2021 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 They would have been out of sight had they had Wilson in attack, they really impressed me with their football, they will convert a lot of these draws into wins soon, or when they can sign a finisher.

Smal Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Think we’ll be a lot better once we get Clarke out of the team. He was absolutely horrendous for their goal. Weak as piss attempt to dispossess Gallagher immediately followed by shit marking on the cross. He’s finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 We need Fernadez and Schar back in the defence. With every game that goes by, Bruce getting rid of Lejeune looks worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezeri Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Didn't see the game but 214 passes in total and 64% of them 138 successful. It's about 1,5 successful passes per minute! How is that even possible? And possession 25%! We'going to need a new midfield ASAP. And I thought Jones's going to play possession based attacking football. Yeah...he did have 3 days to train with the players but still. It was even worse than under SB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not even the worse performance in the last 7 days. Absolute nonsense. It wasn’t sparkling attacking football, no. But we clearly had a plan (for the first time in ages) and executed it fairly well. A point away from home in our predicament is a good start, especially when it would have comfortably been a defeat if Bruce was still here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's trained with those players since January and I still maintain he is a massive part of the problems we had. He should be booted at the earliest opportunity when a new manager and his coaching staff are in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It's clear that the rest of the league are worried about our new riches and not on any principles. While I can imagine the "big 6" being concerned about the threat that we pose to their dominance, it should not affect Palace since they are not competing where we want to be. They just feel like another Villa who celebrated our relegation on the last day when they are just as irrelevant. Weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Pilgrim Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 We are gonna get much worse coming our way than that banner. Might as well just ignore it tbh, if other fans find out they can get under our skin with banners there will just be more banners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 There's absolutely nothing wrong with that banner and I'd feel worse about the footballing community if fans didn't show their feelings towards the takeover. Palace fans have a good history with them attacking the PL etc. It would help as well if we didn't have fans in headscarves and waving Saudi flags, that really does make us a target for other fans in associating fanbase as being pro SA.

I do agree, but how much do you think is just ‘fans find something about rival club to take the piss out of’? Obviously I agree with highlighting the issues, as long as blame isn’t directed at the newcastle fans themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 So as far as every person on here who knows or is from Saudi - the dressing in the Saudi garb was amusing, endearing and in good fun. It’s also been ok’d by the ownership. Does wearing such attire make you accepting of any and all that goes on Saudi? That’s what it seems like I keep reading here and online so this is a genuine question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feeling is more “the takeover is amazing but it’s a shame where the money is coming from”. So I wouldn’t really want to glorify or highlight that aspect. That said, I don’t expect every football fan to think of it in those terms, and I imagine most are just dressing up because they’re excited. I’d like people to be more aware of what Saudi Arabia get up to, I’m sure that is happening to some extent with all the coverage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
