Holloway no happy

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Ah, the piffling play-offs. A mere afterthought!

If we're in the same division together again I'll happily finish below you after 46 games so long as we're above you after 49. If you prefer the reverse, well, I'm afraid there's no easy way to say this - but you're a idiot.

It's you're an idiot.

Obviously, the truth is, you're both right. You are clearly right that its better to have done what you've done. Goes without saying. However, Mello is actually right that over the 46 game league season, we were the better side. That's kind of how a league works.

Yeah.him. You should score a few if you keep him.

As long as you dont sell the promosing youngster and then spend half the fee on another youngster who's not as good, you should be ok.

Too good for us, but don't worry, we've got a track record of producing quality youngsters. Going to be fun seeing the new ones come through

More from Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway who has told BBC London 94.9 that Aston Villa striker Darren Bent is joining Fulham [see entry at 1023].

"Fulham could wait a lot longer than we could so we've tried to force it, they've stepped in, took our deal," said Holloway. "I was told last night he was coming to us. I was told this morning he was coming to us. It's life.

"There are bigger sharks than us. My chairman's going to have to get used to that."

I actually liked how he actually said that last quote. At least he is a little bit more down to earth than the loopy ******* he is!

That is how the league works. But the season doesn't end after 46 games. Those in 3 - 6 go into a playoff.

If Brighton thought the season was over no wonder we gave you such a spanking.

We went up. You didn't. Trying to be triumphalist over the notion that you were a place above us going into the playoffs has to be one of the most bizarre things I've seen. Does that really give you comfort in the face of us turning you over at the Amex and then getting promoted?

"Fulham could wait a lot longer than we could so we've tried to force it, they've stepped in, took our deal,"

Sorry, but how is it HIS deal ? Bent didnt agree terms with Palace so Fulham rightfully stepped in with an offer which Bent agreed to. Nothng unfair at all.

Oh, and can we SERIOUSLY start banning these Palarse twunts from NSC, not the ones that can actually take part in a debate but the deluded ones who sound like broken records.

You're literally going nowhere with your reply. In fact, you're agreeing with the post which you have quoted to disagree with.

Everyone acknowledges a league form is the best way of determining team quality. We beat you in the league standings. We are the better team.

The playoffs determine who go up. Zaha beat us over two legs. Therefore Zaha goes to the premier League.

It's very simple.

No. None at all.

He'll be worse if he reads today's Racing Post. The editor, a Palace fan, puts up his bets of the season, Palace to be bottom & Holloway 1st manager to go are tipped...fill yer boots

I have £5 on Mile Jedinak as 'worst disciplined player' at very healthy odds of (I think) 33/1. Kerr-ching.

We are the better team.

Well you can keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. I'll still take being the team who gets promoted over the one who doesn't every time.

I seriously doubt that the man with pointy elbows will get much in the way of game time this season.

Of course he will. He's the 'best midfielder' in the world. He'll miss a fair few suspended, I grant you.

Be comical seeing how many red cards Jedinak gets ? Prem refs won't be as soft as the Championship ones and be even more comical seeing how Hollowhead reacts.

All it needs is for MotD to put the spotlight on his antics, early on, to bring all the refs' attention to it, and he'll be a marked man.

Interesting point re Jedinak. Yes, he's a potential disciplinary nightmare waiting to happen for Palace- but then again he'll have to get close enough to opponents to foul them, and that may not happen a lot, especially when they come up against teams with high class midfielders (as opposed to Glenn Whelan or Lee Cattermole, say).

Jedinak v Cattermole could be an apocalyptic collision.

Or, more likely, Arsene Wenger

He'll get close enough at every set piece. most of his elbow nonsense is centred around challenging for aerial balls. Sadly the Cattermole thing looks unlikley, as PDC has him training with the U-12s or something.

No no, we WERE. Over 46 games. Yes you won the piffling playoffs, but we were the better team over the season whether you like it or not.

I'm sure that fact makes you feel all gooey inside.
I prefer the feeling of beating you when it mattered, and gain our rightful place above you ( again)
Some things stay in your memory until your dying day, and that victory ranks alongside the 4-3 semi win over Liverpool.

Your "rightful place" should have been starting in non league after your SECOND adimistration.
