Talking of putting money onit, have you seen Seaside anywhere? He owes 200 quid to REMF.

Just like the last one, that couldn't wait to get away, as soon as there was the hint of interest from another small club.
And although we have the tightest defence in the football league, you still only think one of our back 5 would make your team. Deluded.
As football fans we get to see our share of international games, champions league and premier league etc. At the moment we're watching Champiohsip football a lot, and Bridge stands out.
Although you won't want to accept it, we are one of the top prospects in the Championship. The reason he's not at a premiership club is because Man City get to choose who they'll loan him to. Your argument is simply that he can't be good because he plays for your rivals, and your argument doesn't hold up.
You wish the season was based on a couple of games, but unfortunately for you, football doesn't work like that. Our 'shower' finished 10 points above you, it's that simple.
I'm not totally confident no, because we're not in great form whereas you are at the moment. But I expect we'll be above you, despite you thinking your side is miles better than ours.

Thing is these Palace goons were convinced they had the best players in the division when they were bottom of the table so heaven help us now!!!

I'm sure [MENTION=24994]Seaside[/MENTION] will be along any minute to tell us that he knew all along.
Or more probably the charity robbing despicable human being won't.
Perth eh? Take your hat off mate, let the ozone layer have its' way with your bonce
Greedman left for the money, end off.
Your back 5 is the tightest in the league because Gus is playing with a 'don't lose' policy. You play with 3 holding midfielders and the comments on this forum suggests the football is dour and boring. This is backed up by you scoring 2 (scrappy) goals in your last 6 games. Boring, boring Brighton!
Stop getting so riled by my Bridge comments, the way you go on about him is as if he is Paulo Maldini FFS! Read my first post again, I listed the players that I think are better on either side and then I said the rest are equal roughly, including Bridge in that. Bridge's counterpart at Palace is Jonathan Parr who got our player of the year award last year so he's hardly a bad player.
I haven't based last year on a couple of results, I listed the cup run and don't forget we went 8 games at one point without conceding a goal, again hardly shit, to say we were shows your the deluded one.

Not seen such Bravery!
Only the most delusional would think that Jedinak or KG would get into a midfield ahead of Andrew Crofts who was outstanding for Norwich in their Championship promotion season, and played some part in their Premier League campaign last year.
You've obviously seen very little of Jedinak then, he is simply outstanding as a defensive midfielder, strong in the tackle, unbeatable in the air and a born winner. After Zaha I would say he's our 2nd best player.
KG is a full international and played at the last world cup. He also played in the Premiership with Fulham before we signed him.

Yep - posing under his alter-ego 5 Zero.
Good one Major, makes a change for you to actually post about something other than attendances!
As it so happens I think it's pretty poor form from Seaside if he did offer the bet and people took him up on it.

You don't really know why he left, but he obviously wasn't excited about staying as you imagine the next manager is bound to be. Something's not right at Palace, end of.
We don't play with 3 holding midfielders, and Gus goes out to win, but we haven't been hitting the target enough. The comments here are simply because we haven't been winning, which the fans aren't happy about.
I'm not riled, I'm just pointing out that you're wrong.
We were better than you last year. However good or bad you were, we were 10 points better. We beat 2 premiership clubs in the cup, and were only knocked out by Liverpool.
As much as I'm sure you'd like there to be, there's nothing wrong at Palace matey, if there was then the players would be performing badly on the pitch and not be united. In reality we have the best side we have had for 4-5 years and the board, fans and players are all united and there is spirt and togetherness in abundance. Freedman left because Bolton offered 3 times the money we did and if there mad enough to spend that amount on an unproven manager then good luck to them! The next managerial appointment is crucial for us but if we get the right man we will be fighting for promotion, I have no doubts about that.
You do play 3 holding midfielders, I've read enough about it on these boards, stop making up shite to score points. Your team is average at best at the moment, in fact I believe you have only beaten sides in the bottom half of the league all season?!
You obviously are riled cause you reply in detail to everything I post about your shower.
You keep referring to last season, I'll focus on the present thanks. 5 points ahead of you and we've had a tougher start than you. Not bad for so called relegation fodder!
United? Your manager walking out is hardly a showing of unity is it.
If he was happy at Palace, the owners wouldn't have needed to let him talk to Bolton. If he could have got promotion with Palace, a club he cares about, he wouldn't have left.
You're wrong, I'm not sure what else to say. Are you wanting me to explain each of our players to you? Or maybe you could tell me who these defensive midfielders are.
I enjoy pointing out the errors in your posts. I couldn't be less riled. It's great being a Brighton fan at the moment, and laughing as your loyal manager walked out. A few Palace fans here make sensible posts, but there are a few, like you, that are just trolls. I don't get riled by any of them, I enjoy the banter.
Eh? You've been banging on about your cup run, and winning your cup final at the Amex.
I never put you down for relegation, but that point aside, no it's not bad at all. It's excellent. You must be delighted. But Jesus you must be pissed that the man that did it has buggered off.
It had nothing to do with a lack of unity or Freedman being unhappy or feeling he couldn't get promotion with us, it was simply about money, are you so thick that you cannot see that? You may well be happy in your job at the moment but i bet if another similar company offered to treble your salary you would be off quicker than you can say FFS Murray.
I know you play Crofts, Hammond and Bridcutt in the midfield 3 but only Crofts could be considered even remotley as an attacking midfielder and from many of the posts I read Gus is holding him back. There are multipal threads on here about the boring defensive tactics, wake up and smell the coffee.
I'm not a troll at all, I'll just take that comment by you as further proof that I rile you despite your denial.
Er, I only brought up last season results after you said we were a pile of shit. Think my points about our 2 games, the cup run and out great defensive sequence are all valid, you just don't like it because you don't have any worthwile comeback to it.
And yes, absolutely delighted thank you. And honestly, no, not really that pissed off he's gone, most Palace fans aren't gutted he's gone in a footballing sense, it's not like he was amazing for us, in fact he had the same win % that Paul Jewell had at Ipswich. It's more that we are unhappy with his denial about leaving 1 week before he did and his hypocritical comments about how Zaha should turn down big money moves to the Premiership and learn his trade at Palace only for Freedman to jump at the first sign of more £££. His leaving, if we get the next appointment right, could be a blessing in disguise and make us even stronger.

You're just guessing. He says it was about promotion, but then he would. You say it was about money, but then you would. One thing is for sure though, it's not a united front when the manager does a bunk.
And how many times have we started with those 3?
We haven't won for several games, so people are complaining in general. Gus has been here a few years, and being overly defensive has not been his trait criticism.
such a troll comment. 'I'm not a troll, but I'm really annoying you aren't I' Obviously finishing 10 points above you is more important than just the results between our teams. We had a better season last year than you, but you don't think that's a worthwhile comeback
So up until the minute he left, you were here banging on about what a great manager you had, and now he's gone he wasn't very good. You can't do honest.

You really are a dullard aren't you? Everytime you respond to my points you ignore/fail to address the positive things I post about Palace and just jump on the points that you can cheaply turn into a negative. Who's the troll now?
Your post "something isn't right at Palace" is what I took exception to. Just because our manager has left to go to a club that was in the Prem last year and with more money your trying to make it into something it's not. There's nothing to suggest Freedman was unhappy with us it's just that they offered to triple his salary and he feels Bolton offer a quicker route to the Prem, only time will tell if he is correct.
How many times have you started with those 3? Well I know you more than often play 5 in midfield and you've only had Hammond for a couple of months but seems that this is now Gus preferred line up and most fans on here don't want/like that. I can only see the disgruntlement getting worse on here, a lot of your newer, JCL and plastic fans are used to seeing you win and now you're not, like a spoilt kid, they are throwing there toys out of the pram.
You missed my point about last season, I listed way more than just our games. I can't be bothered to talk about that again but your such a pedantic dullard I'm sure you will...
Find me one post where I said he was a great/amazing manager? I thought he was doing a good job but anyone with quality players like Zaha, Williams and Jedinak (to name just 3) in there squad should be able to get half decent results.

You are. I respond to the bits I feel like responding to and ignore the crap insults you keep throwing my way
The idea that something isn't right at Palace is shared by many. So you don't like to think it's true, fine.
Yes there is, he left. Now it is possible he left for money, but if he was really happy with everything at Palace (owners, future funding etc) I doubt he'd have left. He could have got a good pay rise at Palace by getting them promoted, or even just finishing in the play-offs.
Indeed, but with Palace in 4th and being, in your opinion, an excellent side, and Bolton in 18th, why would he think that? Perhaps because you need to sell Zaha, I don't know. But if all was well, surely Palace would be more likely to get promotion than Bolton.
If you read the posts from disgruntled fans here, they're not from JCLs, they're from people that have been going for years.
It's difficult to tell the difference between you and Seaside. A few of you have banged on about how great he was, so you're saying you weren't one of them, fine.
