Watching today, Palace about to bring Gayle on as sub. Commentator says they were going to do it 5 minutes ago but when he took his tracksuit top off he didn't have a shirt on so someone had to go back to the dressing room to get it.
Being pessimistic, I can see them staying up this year fairly easily.
Next year they'll start terribly, but because of how this season has ended, they'll get rid of Pardew early on, and get someone else in who will keep them up - unlike us, they've got a pretty good track record of picking managers.

It was so hard to convince people who don't know him how much of an overrated manager, and frankly nasty soul he really is. Even after that interview some would assume he's justifiably upset. We can watch that and know, that's his true self coming out.
I don't really get why he had a pop at Jeff Shreeves. Pardew said the subs were bad and Jeff just asked why that was didn't he? What's his problem? Oh yeah, I forgot. He's a Big Nosed Palace Fucktard.
I'd say they still need one more win to be safe but given they've already gone 12 without a win i'd find it difficult to see them going on a total run of 21 games without a win. Even then they'd probably tick over with enough draws even if they don't win again.
I don't get why he had a pop at Jeff Shreeves either. Pardew said they were bad subs so Jeff is well within his rights to ask Pardew why he said that.
Palace have had many a dodgy penalty go there way ever since the season they got promoted to The Premier League. in fact I believe only Man City (19) have been awarded more penalties during Palace's current Premier League reign (16) and I dread to think how many they got when they got promoted too. So when a dodgy one actually goes against Palace it's all the more enjoyable.
I am sure they are safe, but at least the descent will cost them millions in TV money when they finish up 16th instead of top 8.
Still very enjoyable.
And should they finish between 15th - 17th I wonder how this sits with Palace's recent US investors who must have injected their cash when Palace were around 8th in the table? Could possibly mean less money available for Pardew to waste in the summer despite the new TV deal?
Can't see them going down. They've got a bit of a gap and should pick up a few more points by the end.
Regarding Pard moaning, we all know that nothing is ever his fault and decisions are always wrong and go against his teams. It was a penalty, and even if it wasn't any team who reaped the benefits of Andy Johnson's diving for years can never complain about penalty decisions like that.

There's a Nigel at work who has been very smug over the last year or so. When Pardoo was appointed, I told him 'impact manager' and he laughed at me.
Still, it's my fault for trying to reach out to some poor lost soul from Croydon
Well we last finished above them in our relegation season from the Prem , so in all honesty it's wearing thin but we are above the scum (for this season) so I'm lucky enough to be more than happy with that but obviously once this season is finished that prolly won't happen again until we get rid of our weird owners

I feel exactly the same. On the Chinese football forum I often go to, there're a lot of people who obviously like him very much. Whenever there's a news piece about him, some would go 'ooooh what a great manager he is!!' etc. It makes me feel sick. I used to try to tell them he's an average manger with an extremely arrogant personality. But they just didn't seem to be bothered with what I kept saying. It was like a waste of time trying to convince these people (they probably have been only following the Premier League for a short time anyway) so nowadays I just tend to ignore those comments.
Palace will mostly likely stay up this year I think as the teams below them are poorer. The thing I look forward to is how they will do next year. Hope their bad form and bad luck continue all the way to the new season.
I would imagine the irony would be lost on your average Nigel regarding the penalty. After diving their way into the Prem they can hardly take umbrige over one decision going the other way.

Thick or what?
I wouldn't put it past them sacking him and getting a proper manager in.

Mind you, I don't know who would go there next...
I agree with Jamie Carragher.
Oh yeah, I forgot. He's a Big Nosed Palace Fucktard.
Don't bet on it Al ;-)

Glad all over.

A plague on their houses!
