Patrick Viera, so I’m hearing, is that a joke?

    No the club is a joke, but the appointment isn't.

    Done bugger all in football managerially, seems a somewhat desperate move - hoping that a ‘up and coming’ manager will do them well! 

    Very similar to when they appointed de Boer , that’s didnt end well either

    Not got a good record, hoping it’s a bad appointment.

    Risky one - they need a rebuild and I don't think he's done that before.

    Excellent.  They'll throw more of their stolen Premiership treasure trying to cover up his managerial naivity...

    It's this year, I feel it in my bones.

    A very ITK palace acquintance of mine (could hardly be more ITK), has advised they are doomed this season. Rebuild due. Worth a bet for relegation, especially if not odds on already.

    Not even got enough players under contract for a starting 11, and an inexperienced manager at the helm. This has to the year.

    Palace don't learn, do they?

    As much as they might hate to admit it their DNA has 'long ball physical football' embedded deeply within it.

    Every time Palace try to get away from the type of football that Steve Coppell brought to them circa 1986 then they end up on their arse and have to get back to basics.

    Ronald De Boer is the most recent example but the same thing happened under Pardew as well - that's when Big Sam took the job and got back to aiming long balls at the infamous Sainsburys End once more.

    Patrick Viera is not going to be interested in playing hoof-ball and the whole thing has clusterf--k written all over it, and it would be the same if they appointed Frank Lampard too.

    Please God, Allah, Buddah, Jehovah and all the other Gods, real or imagined, can you please organize a shambolic relegation for this lot?

    People never learn.

    Start the gloating and celebrating when they go down not before a ball has been kicked.

    Every season there is a similar "palace relegation watch" thread that goes very quiet by May.

    But is he any good at coaching players to win fouls by being in the same postcode as a defender and falling over theatrically? While wearing the stripey clown suit kit?

    I'll believe it when I see it (but every year I hope it will happen and every year the likes of West Brom and Sheffield United contrive to be far worse). 

    What does point to bigger problems at the South Norwood Diving Academy is that they knew Roy was going and had no one lined up. Compare and contrast with us when Bowyer went.

    That there are things in this world not carved out of grey stone. That there's a small place inside of us they can never lock away, and that 
    place is called hope.

    Hopefully the likes of Allardyce wont be available come October / November when Vieira gets sacked.

    Although he certainly showed he couldnt save West Brom last season

    That's the thing.

    Much as I hope they crash and burn they have a habit of acting quickly when they are in a mess.

    I also remember a similar premature celebrations when "rubbish" Roy Hodgson was appointed

    @Henry Irving will you stop spoiling the moment?

    You've lived in Bromley too long and will be wearing a red and blue cardy sooner or later.

    You live in Maidstone!  You''re practically French

    Living on the front line here we have more reason than most to hope that Palace crash and burn but we'll wait for it to happen before we start the street parties

    Should have seen me when Mbappe's penalty was saved. French my arse......

    You even tried to stop me singing the ''God Save the Queen during the armistice ceremony at Compiegne.

    I understand Palace have an aging squad, with a lot of out of contract players, (sounds familiar!)

    Whether Patrick Viera is a right choice for them time will tell, I guess they are hoping he can attract some big names, as well as bringing through some academy players.

    Dougie Freedman pulls a lot of the strings at the club so I hear, and the fans want rid of him.

    Would have thought they’d go for an Eddie Howe, or someone with experience of managing in the premier league.

    Next season will be palaces 15th consecutive season finishing above us , the last one we were above them was our Prem relegation season 
    they’ve spent the last 9 seasons in the Prem while we’ve been flapping about in league fucking one for most of that. 
    their last season in the third tier was 45 years ago ffs 

    these are shithouse disgraceful times for us and our second (Surrey based) rivals
