Is this a joke? Why is there so much love for Palace all of a sudden?
Love? It's an honest appreciation of an achievement by a football club. Ok maybe they are our local rivals but sometimes you need to put personal differences aside and acknowledge, in the spirit of sport, what others have managed to realise.
Jason Puncheon has been fantastic and has given them the cutting edge they didn't possess early in the season. Just shows what a good manager can do with a seemingly out of sorts player. Perhaps someone will work a similar miracle with Danny Green?!
Is that the same Jason Puncheon we were about to sign under Parkinson then Parky got sacked? Yep
Unless you are one of the top six, life in the Premiership is temporary. With each year spent making up the numbers at the top table the inevitable fall is much greater. Only in palaces case it will be another bout of administration. They need to redevelop their ground, to bring it inline with the rest of modern world, buy better players and pay all their staff the going rate. All this will require one hell of a financial juggling act. Their Curbs will move on at sometime and with our excellent manager wanting to move closer to the continent, they will poach him.
Whilst I am definitely not a palace fan I have to admire what pulis has done Has totally turned what seamed impossible into reality and just showed what a experienced manager can do?and as much as I hate to say it play proper football,to pull Off that result away from home to inform Everton was some achevment Deserves manager of the season
I passionately despise palace, everything about them just screams out MUG. The cheerleaders, the 'ultras', the goal music, the announcer, south london and proud on the back of their shirt (we all know they're from surrey). Could they be more annoying?
But I do reckon Pulis might just be in the top 10 managers if the world, he's just unfortunate he's some northern pe teacher lookin geezer and not Tonetta Pulisa
Well done for an intelligent comment. We used to be a Club that people admired, now we have to look and see who and how smaller Clubs can survive at the top. Palace and Southampton share having achieved a very strong Academy. Add to that a strong Manager and you have the receipe for success. I believe that Roland understands that, and frankly rather than maintaining ridiculous emnity we should get ourselves around successful Clubs whoever they are, and learn.
Pulis is obviously a better manager than I gave him credit for! I just associated him with hoofball and that long throw merchant?
Maybe a media misconception re: Stoke?
His teams play with tempo, get the ball forward early to forwards who can hold it, he has midfielders that are fit and get up in support and get the ball out to wingers who are pacey and can cross/score goals. In defence, they keep their shape, have defenders that can defend first, attack second and his teams work really hard to get the ball back. In other words, he chooses to keep it simple and as such is well suited to the domestic game. David Moyes didn't do it a whole lot different to that at Everton.
As for Rory Delap. He was a decent experienced full-back and the throw was a brilliant weapon. Not only did he create a number of goals with it but it also served to push the opposition back about another 15-20 yards (off-side law). Wish we had someone like that....we might actually see the ball in the opposition's penalty area for a bit!

I have to say that I dislike Palace intensely, but they got the right man to manage the club. When Pulis took over I recall saying that they stood a more than decent chance of surviving with him. They have achieved with something to spare.

Christ, why don't you just marry him?
That'd be bigamy. I'm already married to Jim Cannon....
The Premier League is bloody strange this year. 40 points is often touted as being the threshold for survival but the teams in the relegation zone will only just clear that mark even if they win all of their remaining games. Palace are on 40 points with 4 to play and are 11th!

I will say though, that Tony Pulis has proven himself to be a very good manager considering the circumstances.

I remember the yr Sheff Wed were relegated mainly because they were struggling under their debt whereas Palace were wiping their slate clean.
They are now spending millions in the PL with no second thoughts.
Nothing to admire or congratulate there.

Stripey wankers.
OK they've had a good run since Pulis took over - doesn't mean I'm bothered.
Personally, I'd like more incidents of the "Brighton Welcome" for them with their dressing room decorated in turds.... ;-)
Rant mode off....

Oh how the tables have turned over the last eight years. Look at them last night and think of our position and what we witnessed Tuesday night.
Well done, Richard.
They will never be South London.
an absolute disgrace
All Curbishley's miracles up in smoke
the one thing we had was better home numbers than them obviously that's gonna be gone for a good good few years now
we are a smaller club than palace ffs
repeat to self , at least it's not the scum , at least it's not the scum ...........................
