It seems that league position counts for nothing if Palace finish above Brighton, as happened last season, when it was the matches between the two teams that mattered more. This year it appears the other way around. On the basis of success equating to winning a trophy, I would argue that Palace...

A look at the respective trophy cabinets would suggest otherwise, but if you say so...

Ah but will you win a trophy next season? What happens if Fab is tempted by a bigger club? Will Dunk keep playing? Will our European tour be a hindrance? Will not playing in Europe be a bonus for Br*ghton?

OK I stand corrected, but if Textor owns less than 50% then he is not the majority shareholder. Again, I am prepared to be corrected, but I thought the rule was that the owner had to be the majority shareholder in more than 1 club, so no trying to argue our way out of it, simply abiding by the...

But when we finished above you the previous season, league positions counted for nothing. Which is it? Do league positions matter or not? Or do they only matter when you finish higher?

Sorry to correct you woody, but Olise left last summer, and won the German league with Bayern

But you had the chance way back against Man U "and Smith must score..."

Why rightfully kicked out? Textor only has a 25% stake in the club, so he is not a majority shareholder, or am I missing something? Surely the loan from Mr Bloom is twisting the rules in that case?

So you dont know if there were any boos, therefore its not bollocks is it?

To go back to the original point of this thread, my understanding (and I am happy to be corrected) is that Textor does not own a majority share in Palace, but a 25% share alongside Harris Blitzer and Parish. Parish is the chairman and has the final say in everything at the moment, so I dont...

I know I will be unpopular, and I probably shouldnt comment, but... Glen Murray sealing Palace becoming the first away team to win in the league, Wilf's second goal to seal the Play off win, and Sarr's goal to seal victory in December would be the top 3 moments for me, with Wilf being my...

This could be applied to so many other clubs. We know that in all honesty, the aim each season is to finish 17th or better and have the odd cup run. On Sunday, I, like many was fuming at the injustice of the VAR decision for the penalty. From the other end of the ground, of course it looked...

Newcastle still had hopes of Europe until the final game of the season

Incorrect, it was only decided after the season had finished and Liverpool and the FA went to UEFA and asked for the ban to be lifted, so yes we were cheated out of European football. We finished 3rd in the top division. That would now get Champions league football

I think the 1861 link is very tenuous, and is just an effort by the club to pitch itself as the oldest in the leagues. There was a celebration of 100 years in 2004, so this new history would seem to be convenient to me, as it means a few changes in the badge which could potentially drive more...

My first trip to the Amex yesterday and first game for 5 weeks after surgery Its a great stadium, and to be fair, train link was good, although the wait afterwards for the train home was interminable. Weirdly it went as far as Lewes and then turned round My thoughts on the game are that we...

Lots of talk that our game on 15 December might need to move again due to Carabao cup game. We cant play Arsenal on Wednesday as they have a womens Champions league game at the Emirates that night. so would probably have to be Tuesday, and surely we would not be expected to play twice in 3...

Well it wasnt quite Villa reserves, as they played McGinn, Dhuran, Bailey, and had Mings and Bentacura returning from long term injuries, but when they were a goal down, they took off 3 of those for teenagers, so I dont think they were that bothered about the game.

So finally a return to the high pressing game of last season, and ditching the Eddie and Kamada experiment, and hey presto, a much better performance. Victory just about deserved, although Spurs were really poor, and a better side would have found an equaliser in the last 10 minutes when we ran...

I think Johnstone is better at commanding the box, whereas Henderson is a better shot stopper (Monday apart), and Henderson was the man in possession, so Johnstone asked to leave. Cant blame him, but I think I agree we lost the better keeper. Hopefully Joe Whitworth continues to develop at Exeter
