If they lose at Reading on Friday, I think they will need a paramedic on hand for his interview.

He doesn't lose his temper. He's just peed off.
As for the penalty, well if you have Wilf in your team then you reap what you sow. Same as Foriestieri. Call it Karma, call it Cry Wolf, whatever. Carragher, Shearer and Lawro all thought it was a pen. There's really not much point asking a manager straight after the game on issues like that, it's unfair to expect them to be objective.

Not seen such Bravery!
Hope they beat Reading, nothing like a Wembley semi-final to distract from avoiding relegation.

Not as much as he's costing Spurs and Man City.

£75k a week plus bonuses, and Tottenham are topping it up with another £25k a week to pay off his contract.
Money well spent all round.
Jesus.
I hope to god that Adebayor has boasted this figure to all his team mates (he seems like the type). He seems to be doing a magnificent job of affecting team morale, let's hope he continues his great work.

Not exactly true that is it. The Palace fans in general believe he is on £100k per week, with Palace paying £70k and he is getting 30k from Spurs, but it is believed Man City contribute a large part of that 30k.
I see Brighton Rock beat me to it.

Peed off to the point where he doesn't actually listen to JS's question! I agree he doesn't lose his temper, but he says he 'wants to move on from the penalty', when the interviewer already HAD.
And Pardew accuses him of being disrespectful? Having a go at someone for doing their job? THAT's disrespectful. What a tool.

I am rather enjoying this, lets be honest there are at least 3 worse teams than them so they will stay up.
However, if they do go down then I will have to find the comment from the Palace fan that laughed when I said Adebayor would be a good signing if he scored the goals to keep them up. he was so thoroughly convinced that they would be OK

Unless those bonuses are based around putting his football boots on the right feet and not dropping food in the players canteen he won't be troubling the Palace accountant much beyond the 75k.

I could play up front for Palace and they still won't go down sadly not this season anyway.
Seriously though how is Pardew still in the job ? go out of the Cup to Reading and he has to go surely.

The standard of Nigel on here has certainly shot up since Palace started losing every week. Lovely to see.
Gone are tedious, smug bellends Dougie, and SE20* along with tiresome full kit wànker, Little Al, and in come Swillis and some bloke whose posts are relatively insignificant. (I've always been farly neutral towards Del Fenner and Littlehampton Eagle)
*this utter cock was back at his usual smug best (worst) after my prayers for Sunderland/Newcastle/Norwich wins went unanswered but is happily (and predictably) nowhere to be seen after the latest comedy Palace result.

Good to hear that our current plight has cheered you up Simster.
Reckon we need to find another 3 or 4 points from somewhere, Norwich at home is looking vital now.
Reckon Newcastle (if they sack McClaren) or Sunderland will win a few and make a run for safety. So we need to find some points.
Bit unlucky yesterday with the goalie cocking up.
I think you'll be OK.
Weren't you one of the people proudly announcing you'd be making a run for the European places earlier on in the season? How's that working out?
From the Telegraph
'Pardew for England' seems a long time ago
Amid the frothy-mouthed debate over Christian Benteke's tumble to the turf in the very last second of Liverpool's 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on Sunday - it is possible for it to be a dive and a penalty- the reaction of Alan Pardew went slightly overlooked.
Seen in the harsh light of a Monday morning, however, and Pardew's hurling of his coat to the floor in his dug-out and perplexing post-match interview with Sky's Geoff Shreeves - when he appeared to be coming dangerously close to a 'David Meyler moment' after Shreeves quite rightly questioned him on his admission that his "substitutes weren't very good" - were the telltale signs of a manager struggling to cope.
Pardew has largely been spared criticism thanks to Palace's FA Cup run, which takes them to Reading in the quarter-finals on Friday, and the spectacular incompetence of the current bottom three, which has preserved a nine-point cushion to the relegation zone. But a run of 12 league games without a win that stretches back to before Christmas has left fans who had deified Pardew for his record in 2015 wrestling with a severe crisis of faith.
Pardew has lost the ability to influence games with his substitutions and appears incapable of adapting his tactics. There is no Plan B if opponents succeed in neutering Palace's talented wide players and his stubborn refusal to adopt a more safety-first mentality - he threw on two forwards, Bakary Sako and Dwight Gayle, on Sunday with the game poised at 1-1, jeopardising what would have been a precious point - leaves the team's soft centre exposed far too often.
To most outsiders, it seems inconceivable that Palace - fifth on New Year's Day, lest we forget - could complete one of the most spectacular implosions ever seen in a top flight campaign and succumb to relegation. For those who see them most weeks, it is beginning to feel increasingly like an inevitability: they have the hardest run-in of any of the relegation contenders, by far the worst form and appear to have completely run out of luck. True, Newcastle and Sunderland look equally forlorn, but the former is about to appoint a new manager - which so often provides a pick-me-up - and the latter boasts improving form under a coach, Sam Allardyce, who is battle-hardened in survival scraps.
There is still time for a turnaround, but the days when Pardew was being hailed as England's new-manager-in-waiting now seem so long ago you wonder whether they ever actually happened.
