Whatever happens in the next 2 games, this will be our season with the fewest number of premier league losses.
This is with a team of high potential kids and a few experienced older players,d a manager having his first taste of top flight/English football, and the highest number of days lost to...
No, but Parish has form for forcing players to stay, who want away, because the club can't afford to lose them.
We don't because we know we can replace practically anyone, thanks to Tony's data.
Palace have got by with Freedman's nose for a player, for a good while. But he's gone now.
I hope you're right, but I just don't see it.
