Course it doesn't you dullard! It just means your capacity is bigger! If we had a stadium like yours we'd be getting 35k

Is this a joke ? Look at your attendances in the Championship compared to ours.

We have a 6000 waiting list and growing. We could easily fill a 40k stadium. You simply couldn't get near that figure

But we're not are we....and you lot can't handle it!

Mate, he talks about assets in players and money in the bank which hasn't been used at all to upgrade their failing facilities both in ground and training facilities. What he is talking about is unsustainable and very Premier League fan.

We have a sustainable project and facilities to back it up. If we go down we have the right structure in place to come back up and sustain a premier place. They have players that will leave. That is about all they have, and still no plan in place to upgrade their facilities. If I was a Palace fan that would trouble me. Sadly they only think $$$, it's a car crash waiting to happen. Get the infrastructure correct first and the rest falls into place. If you don't have the infrastructure you will crash and burn eventually.

Ok. Are your centre backs really good then?
How about Pascal Groß?

Dann is excellent and Riedewald, although unproven in the PL as he has just signed, comes extremely highly rated. I rate Lewis Dunk highly but he's still young and rash, while Dann is about as composed as it gets. As the window goes on it's looking more and more likely that we'll be able to re-sign Sakho from Liverpool which would be absolutely incredible as he'd immediately become the best central defender to ever play for either of our clubs. Groß could turn out to be a brilliant signing for Brighton, but at the moment I don't think any neutral would take him over the proven Premier League quality Cabaye offers.

I wish the powers that be on here would make our friends up the road take an intelligence test before they were accepted.....
You'd think that before anyone thought about trolling their rival's forum that they'd at least be able to spell and elucidate their thoughts sufficiently. One of the most embarrassing Palace trolls we've had for some time.

He's made a lot of progress recently, not earning a booking for months (he did get one which was a mistake by the ref).

Do you realise how big the Sky money is nowadays?? We have banked 5 years of it, you 1. In that time we have built a team full of Premiership players, and have finished 11th, 10th, 15th and 14th. We have set ourselves up for a fantastic future.

So what, we don't have a shiny new stadium but it's no where near as bad as you make out. Players like playing there as its a bloody loud atmosphere and we get behind the team, more than most clubs do. We also have London which is a huge draw. Your club is nowhere near as attractive in comparison as you think it is.

Dann over Dunk..Stop taking drugs mate! also is that the same Cabaye that got relegated and almost got relegated again...The bad apple in the camp! We would never have that sort of player here!

For what it's worth I've been very impressed with your business in the last week or so. I think you've given yourselves a real chance to stay up and, if your signings settle well, you could have one of the better midfields in the bottom half. I simply can't see Bruno cutting the mustard in the Premier League this season, however. He was utterly destroyed by both Bolasie and Zaha in our promotion season and that was when he considerably younger. You're also looking very light up front which will need to be addressed; you simply won't survive if you can't score goals, as Middlesborough found out.

Dann is objectively a solid Premier League centre half. We've turned down a handful of bids from Everton and other PL clubs for his services in the last couple of years. Dunk, while promising, is totally unproven in the top flight and there's simply no way you can suggest he's a better player at this time.

Cabaye has never been relegated. Are you sure you know who he is? He's the guy with 48 caps for France.

You've just confirmed what I posted. It's all about the money and nothing to do with infrastructure. Thanks for that. You've been there before, post 2010.

Dunk Prem appearances 0, Dann 183

In regards to Cabaye...bad apple? He is a top bloke who makes time for the fans. I suppose your club is full of angels is it? ROTFL

Money buys you players and facilities so yes, a lot of it is about money. Man City are title favourites this year. Why? Because they spent the most money this summer on players.
