Today's paper
No game for our friends this week, but they'll still be pissed off seeing us win. Shame Murray didn't score for good measure, but you can't have it all.
I was slightly fed up to see you win but long way to go yet. I was however buoyed by the infrastructure you have in place and that great academy, so great in fact that you only lost to Chelsea 13-0.
Our Under 18s are called that because they are aged under 18.
Your first team squad is known as the Under 23s because that's how many points they will get this season.

Well they were probably paid for with someone else's money

Can anyone see a Crystal Palace Eagle badge amongst these elite academies?
Is this the new Nigel tactic? Use the 13-0 result in an under 18s match to denigrate our academy programme? Still, I guess that's fair enough. Your can't expect them to big up long-term planning when the sure path to success lies in spunking vast sums of money on disinterested primadonas and going into admin if it doesn't work out. We have so much to learn.

I was buzzing all weekend about the fantastic win against a very good Barnsley side away from home and seemingly us getting ourselves a bit back on track... Then I saw the U18s result (the same u18s who were unbeaten in 9 before this game) and it ruined everything. Such a shite mood now. All those local Chelsea West London lads must have been really good.

This. My wife asked me about the U18s bad result and I explained that it was particularly hard to explain as Chelsea restrict themselves to signing players born within 5 miles of their training ground...I was buzzing all weekend about the fantastic win against a very good Barnsley side away from home and seemingly us getting ourselves a bit back on track...

All you can really say is well done to Chelsea and their excellent coaching staff.
Thats ridiculous, they are going to get 11 more points from their remaining fixtures, and get relegated

Palace game with Spurs postponed, for FA Cup quarter final.
Whom are Palace playing?
Palace have the best academy in the country, so it must be in the category above this lot?

Unbelievable I know, but it's Spurs in the quarter finals, Palace lost to Man City.
Football eh, bloody hell.

is that the best you've got? A bad result against the best u18 team in the country, after previously beating Spurs and Arsenal at the same age group. I'm not too worried by that.
As an aside how did your academy lads do against the 'Dog and Duck' down at 'Goals'? Or did they forget to book a pitch again?

Lost to Bristol City, Bolton, Crewe, Colchester, Nottingham Forest and Charlton, it would seem.

Whilst their plucky U23s have lost to Ipswich, Watford, Charlton, Ipswich again, Cardiff, Millwall, Coventry, Huddersfield, Birmingham and QPR.
