The praise might have gone to your head.and the academy award goes to ... Stat Brother.
My opening gambit needed backing up:-
'blimey you were lucky to get a point last night'.
No reply just a look.
'I was so deflated after your goal, I couldn't bear to carry on listening thinking you'd win'.
'Still a point is a start'
'We didn't draw'.
'Oh so you did win, thank fook I didn't listen'
'We didn't win either....
...but I think you know that anyway'

Surely Palace can't... 16/17

I don't care about that, I've had a most enjoyable morning, already.
'Why isn't goal a game Benteke playing?'
'He is, but if he doesn't get the service he won't score'.
'Oh, I guess Bolasie will be back soon, how bad is his injury'.
'You're enjoying this aren't you'.
I'm having a rethink. Yes it would be funny if they went down, but they'd have so much cash they'd be able to do well in the Championship. I know how enjoyable it is to do well in the Championship, I'm not sure I want to see Palace having this much fun.
Mainly down to Sako & Zaha.

I'm missing the contribution to this thread of any of our Albion-obsessed 'friends' from up the road. There must be a dial-up problem in the SE postcodes.

It was interesting to see Zaha's celebration after scoring. He ran towards the Palace bench but clearly stopped short of getting near Allardyce, there was then another camera angle where Allardyce had a chance to slap him on the back as he ran past him to say well done but The Fat Key Note Speaker clearly chose to avoid any interaction.

I don't allow my dreams to run away that much.
I'm not sure the count, they got done over like us in the 90s.

Who's to say the yanks aren't looking to realise a quick profit?

What do you think they would sell the ground to a developer and then ground share with Millwall?

I doubt it. But they could leave the club with a lot of debt.

We have a rapidly reducing chance of staying up, and Big Sam is our best hope. He has a great deal to do to turn things around.
I'm seeing some disturbing similarities with 1981. Time to dig deep.

I wouldn't count against anyone doing that, but can't relegated clubs make more money by getting back to the PL?

Imagine the owners are desperately ringing around Chinese clubs to offload Benteke for anything near the ridiculous fee they paid for him

It is not that easy is it, 50% of the Championship teams are in that position, trying to get back.
Into your pockets?
Have you got the squad to stay up or do you need some more hardened battlers rather than show ponies like Cabeye & Townsend whom I assume had been purchased to get you into Europe?

Very telling indeed. Just look at Fat Sams eyes in that horrific post match interview, forcibly trying to mask total panic. He just looks so uncomfortable, not sure if he will last the season TBH.

Almost certainly, although I was thinking of backs to the wall, time to stand up and be counted, lets grow some backbones.
The squad is probably 5 key positions short, Benteke appears to be out for 3 months with shoulder ligament damage adding to lengthy injury woes, our current best player Zaha is off to Afcon for the next 2 months. Really not sure that Big Sam is going to be able to turn this one around.
