CRYSTAL PALACE HAVE SCORED A GOAL

Stripey cnuts!

You've got to be joking

FFS! Will this anal fistula of a season ever abate?

Oh well it was fun while it lasted.

Southampton really screwed up by sacking Puel!!

Swansea and West Brom look doomed ( shame about the latter )

For several years, Les Reed seemed to run them better than any club in England. Swansea and even Palace were doing well and profitable in the PL with somewhat similar strategies.

But all three are really struggling lately and their aim at profitability is what seems to be killing them. They all sell their best players every year and sooner or later this kills them all because when you sell a good player, you know what you are losing, but when you transfer in new ones, you can't be sure what you are getting.

Only the the top few clubs who receive hundred million pound-plus sponsorships can attempt to be profitable and not eventually become relegation candidates. Profitability and success on the pitch are negatively correlated for most clubs. In the lower leagues, to aim for profitability is death.

On a different note - Its time to let the same old, same old top 6 go off to a European Super League of their own. The remaining teams from Burnley down should be split into 4 divisions & the FA Cup given equal prestige as the League title - in that way the game mght become interesting again.

I would not be against this. For I believe eventually a super league would implode. Imagine Manchester United in 9th place or worse year after year, barely averaging a 40% win rate. Their fans would go nuts and eventually demand they return to England where they can at least win... something, perhaps.

And then the PL should demand and hold firm for one billion pounds per club as a fee for their right to return to it. Because I believe eventually, they would wish to.

Hate to say it but there's no way Palace are going down. Let's do what bigredevil says above and close this thread.

I mentioned a few weeks back that the bottom clubs aren’t actually pulling away from them very much and that’s still the case....hate to say it, but they are far from being dead and buried..................................yet!

As much chance of palice staying up as us winning the champions league this season.

Can I book my tickets for the final in Kiev yet?

17 southampton -11 20pts
18 stoke -24 20pts
19 west brom -14 16pts
20 swansea -21 16pts


far from over yet although looking more likely that it will be swansea and west brom plus 1 other as they seem hopeless.

palaces next 5 are;

burnley H
Arsenal A
west ham A
newcastle H
everton A

see where they are after that.

Burnley (D) | Arsenal (L) | West Ham (D) | Newcastle (W) | Everton (D)

Only three points off 10th at the moment

One day they WILL sack their Manager and there wont be someone with the skills to save them!!

Hodgson looks to have been an inspired choice for them sadly.

Doesn't surprise me... He's another Allardyce really - Is someone great at keeping a side in the Division but doesn't quite have the ability these days to lead a team to a title (i.e. England | Inter Milan | Liverpool)
