New Palace Manager

It blows my mind that they are still 12th. No team has ever avoided relegation while earning as many embarrassing records as them. They are an astonishing anomaly in the PL. 

Still, the clubs beneath are concertinaing up behind them, they have the joint worst form in the division and another five teams made up ground this weekend. Aside from the bottom two, the rest have more potential in their squads IMO. Alas, nobody is as jammy as them. 

This! Oohaah bangs on about us being lucky (yeah right) but no one on the planet comes close to them spawny freaks when it comes to luck

Yep , i don't know how they've fluked 10 years in the Prem 

I mean no one can match millwall time late goals , no one

Give me geeky ultra wallys over wannabe flat cap gangster twats

The point they got from the VAR fuck up against Brighton will keep them up.

You're still thinking about those two late goals they scored at the Old Den back in the day to somehow get a 2-2 draw, aren't you?

Or the time we were due to play them when we were on the up and they were in terrible form and on the day of the match a fog bank covered the whole of south London. Never in my lifetime do I remember one of our games getting called off for fucking fog, before or since.

Or the late goal they got in the 4-4 draw at home.

Or the late winner ....... ah, fuck it ......

Darren Ambrose wants to see Vincent Kompany become the new Palace manager.

This suggestion doesn’t deserve a serious response because it’s so ludicrous, but I’m going to give one that’s not even based on my personal opinion of the spotty virgins down the road:

Even putting aside the potential problems that come with switching clubs, why on earth would any manager swap a club who is (thanks in part to his input) almost certain to get promoted to the EPL for a club that only has comparable potential and who is in danger of relegation from the EPL this year?

If there was any answer, it would be money. But this isn’t some nobody who’s come from non league. This is Vincent Kompany, wealthy former EPL winner in the process of building his reputation as a manager. His reputation at Burnley is only being enhanced at the moment. Even if he saved Palace from relegation, it would not register as much of an achievement as they are an outside bet at the moment anyway.

The idea that Palace are a big enough draw right now to tempt Kompany away from Burnley is so fanciful as to be an utter delusion or a cheeky joke by Ambrose who secretly still loves Charlton. 🤪

Besides, Burnley are a much bigger club than the stripey c*nts.

There about the same size aren’t they?

Palace are on a great run, they haven’t won a game in the Premier league this year.

Sadly. To be honest their remaining fixture list couldn’t be much better for them. If they get relegated, it will be because they really aren’t cutting it.

Mendonca In Asdas

It would be a terrible shame if Zaha got injured and ruled out for the rest of the season.

Not sure that is an easy run in.

Most of the games are literally six pointers.

Fulham is the only team they are playing who have not much to play for.

Palace’s last two home games will be key. Sadly, I think they’ll have enough to stay up, although they’ve most certainly outstayed their welcome.

I’ve spotted Roy Hodgson twice in the last fortnight - the second last Thursday, standing outside an empty office building by Waitrose in Richmond. Reading this thread, I now understand why he looked so forlorn.

Mixed bag really. Leicester are looking pretty low on confidence but Southampton and Leeds are scoring goals and starting to see survival as a real possibility. I could see Palace losing both of those, at least one, and then going up against Everton in a match that gives off real 1-0 loss energy. At that point they're in real, real trouble as they might have given 3 points each to three of their relegation rivals, potentially enough to take them all past Palace. Then those games against Wolves and West Ham become less of a part of an easy run and more absolute survival necessities. I'm sure they'll still squeak by somehow, and if they get their new manager right they could end this run with 6 or 7 wins and suddenly it would look like a good season, but I bet they're looking at all the points they could potentially give to the teams around them and sweating.

I dunno. Teams down the bottom are often right up for it near the end of a season. I wouldn’t say any of those games are bankers.

Except maybe Doctor Tottenham. You know those twats will roll over. 😂

You also have to consider that every single team below Palace are in better form than them. Every one of those teams has at least one win in their last 5, Palace haven't had a win in their last 10. Every one of those teams has outscored Palace this year too.

And by the time they play Fulham, Mitrovic might be available again!

Couldn’t be much worse if they lose some of those though.

There are NO easy games there for Palace, especially for a team in a poor run. That first game against Leicester is almost a must win, to stop the rot.

It's going to be a cracking relegation battle this season, and I suspect that a team may go down on GD

Is Lyle Taylor still at Forest?
Wouldn't it be funny if he was drafted in on the last day and scored the goal that sent Palace down.
Might wipe a few peoples slates clean. Or not?

Think he's there but not in their 25 man squad (given they signed about 24 of them this summer).

I was told that he is injured with a broken bone in his foot. That's why he didn't get a loan move on january

No PL match is easy but you’d think that they’d pick up enough points from those matches. 3 wins and two draws.

Terry Venables is only 80 and could do a job with a young fitness coach like Peter Garland and agents Paddy M and Deano.
They could definitely go downhill quicker than Franz Klammer.

Mad to think Venables is only four and a half years older than Hodgson, given Venables last managed 20 years ago, and Hodgson less than a year ago.

I agree but Zaha was the main culprit in Arsenal's first 2 goals yesterday.
He didn't put in any effort to win the ball, mark his man or chase after him, having let him get away.

Already one foot out the door on a free in the summer. Their most talented player yes, but not the kind of player you want fighting tooth and nail to keep you up as he knows he won't be there next year regardless.

North Lower Neil

I think Zaha will move on, and there'll be interest as he's free, but does feel like the chance to get a Champions Lge club etc has gone by now.
