Just a quiet guy.
Nonetheless my flabber was ghasted and I remain in the impressed gang.
Will file this fact in my 'wow wee aren't Palace great' file long with:
- Silly marble playing twats (Billy Boys) who jump up and down in the corner at home games;
- An eagle that flies around before the game (Eagles being prevalent in Sarf London);
-Ricky Heppolette and Brain Basin played for Palace;
- Great song celebratory by a North London pop combo; and
- Steve Parish and Mark Bright.
oh I wish I was Palace....
Zaha targeting Liverpool game in March now: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/wilfried-zaha-receives-injury-boost-11985454
That means he should be available to face us. Wouldn’t be the same if we beat them without him!

Excuse my ignorance. I was aware that Palace bought their training ground a few year's back. A quick Google tells me this was for £2.3M in 2013 but that the money they have saved on the 5 year lease cost of £200,310 p.a. meant that their actual investment was less than £1.3M over five years and would become cost neutral early in the 2020s. http://www.allsop.co.uk/media/cryst...he-hammer-at-allsops-july-commercial-auction/
I also found an article about refused planning permission for development last year http://www.bromleytimes.co.uk/news/...re-are-already-objections-1-5141589-1-5141589
I haven't been able to find any reference to a huge investment. Can you enlighten me?

This has always been the problem at Palace. Wages and player fees are just money dropping into the ocean, never to be seen again. Spending what you don't have, and when creditors need paying, writing it off, paying 2p in the £, and starting again.
Investment means infrstructure, such as improving the stadium, rebuilding decent facilities at the training ground, and investing in youngsters.

So 5 years spent in the PL gets you a small cricket pavilion. Nice.
And you haven't submitted a "stadium application". You've outlined some plans scrawled on the back of a beermat for ONE refurbed stand, but as of last week nothing has been formally submitted. And the plans are already being picked apart by planning officers.
As for your squad investment, I think its marvellous that you've spent more on a leftback than our all time record signing. But as you said yourself, you have a chronic lack of quality throughout the squad, so whilst money has certainly been spent on fee's, on wages, on all the managers you keep hiring and firing, its probably not been all that WISELY spent, now has it.
As I said. Utter, utter shambles.
And from that same article:

Lovely to see what a one-man team they are.

Yeah, looks state of the art to me. Not sure how you can type that with a straight face.
Oh and the "stadium application" is to bolt one new stand onto one end of your crumbling shithole of a ground for a ridiculous amount of money. Plus it's only an application, and nobody told Sainsbury's.
After five years of PL cash you call that good investment? Incorrect.
Is it PotG?

Nothing doing, not even injured...just seeking attention.
To be fair , Palace have a bit of a shocking set of fixtures coming up which they could well of lost anyway.
As much as we need to get safe by the last few games. They have some very very winnable games to conclude the season.
Can't see them going down but on top of being the worst team for a whole calendar year ...... its very pleasing to see the circus go from strength to strength.
And still they show their spotty faces on here.
No shame the Nigels

BBC have the story...
Probably like the rest of us and cannot be bothered to register on their pathetic forum board and gets refused to read more than a couple of posts unless he signs on there.

Given that we were playing at a municipal athletics track and the team were training in a ploughed field strewn with dogshit, yes.
Yes we did.
