I imagine Premier League chiefs are sttarting to get concerned that Palace are tainting the brand image of the Premier League where, previously, any team could beat any other on their day.

Now the Premier League has a team that can't even score against another club on their day.

Finally, I hope the Albion's brand isn't damaged by being associated with them.

Only after they have scored a goal and/or gained a point.
From then on they are just shitehouse, until then though, they are fantastic for the Premier League (and dare I say NSC)

Palace are akin to that kid, who is always last to be selected when picking sides in the playground.
Nobody ever really wants them there

I like this very much. Just kick them out now and stop showing them on the league table. Relegate bottom two more.

Give their place to the highest placed Championship side who'd take it - offer it to Cardiff first.

Who knows, if they were to enter the Championship now on 24 points, Palace might just escape relegation.

Oh I don't know, most of their fans seem to quite like it.

Post on the Palace board:

Much as I love Palace in the EPL, away games are shite now let’s be honest, doesn’t help we have the most plastic fan base in the league but when you have people ask you who Alan lee is at arsenal away you know you have problems.

Surely the day is coming when the refs are instructed to give them a couple of dodgy penalties until they eventually manage to score one, just to end this unprecedented damage to the brand? Admittedly, though, it has been harder to do this since Zahahaha got injured practising his diving, and now they have to teach someone else how to enter the penalty box.

Are they damaging the brand? Probably.

We could show a little compassion for them (even though all but a few of them have proven to be charmlessly ignorant of how their higher standing in recent years has been, as it were, secured 'on tick'). Maybe the other clubs could pitch in a bit to protect the brand and score for them on their behalf.

I urge all our supporters to put aside the rivalry and get behind this wonderful show of solidarity.

The PL tag line probably needs updating.

"The best league in the World (mostly)" should do it.

On the contrary, I think they are making this the most entertaining Premier League season ever.

Unlikely they will be invited back the the Premier League Asia Trophy next year, let's put it that way. Like when you have herpes, best keep a low profile. The EPL know this. More Maidstone friendlies next time

The best fishermen use live bait.

Well played sir, that's a very good point.

Although I'd like to add a small caveat:-
Despite losing heavily at man city and utd they still look more dangerous away than we do playing a 'big 6 club'.
