whatever we may think of them, it can not be denied that they have put an impressive run of games together, had this started a couple weeks earlier we would be a lot more concerned about them finishing above us (actually not impossible even now) Is it just a good run, coinciding with our...

i really dont understand this oft repeated line of "3 teams worse than them" bollox. Its a league, the whole premise of the league is to be better than other teams. Other than financial doping the only reason man city won so many titles is that 19 other teams were worse than them. The only...

what a difference between Brighton and Palace. Away drubbing for both teams, Brighton fans dissapointed, stay to the end to show their support, players go and applaud them Palace fans dissapointed, leave at half time, those that remain shout and swear at the players who went over, and swear and...

there was a moment where the comentator mentioned that every single palace player was behind the ball, and the ball was well inside their half. It was a 10-0-0 formation for large parts of the game, so even with possesion its very hard to get through a 10 man defence. I do think though that we...

whilst I am not a particular fan of Luton, and would shed no tears at their relegation , 9 years from non league to Premier is an outstanding achievement

i agree, and I did say this at the end of my post, "Its obvciously difficult to tell at times, a player running at full speed doesnt need much to unbalance them, and falling over at high speed does sometimes result in almost comedic rolls, so I understand sometimes it looks fake but isnt"...

a lot of the problem is the "every right to go down" comments from the pundits. or the he was anticipating contact and went down, even worse. The ONLY time a player should go down is when they have to, not because threy felt a breath of wind, or a feather like tap on their back. Pundits calling...

there has to be the danger of the old dodgy exhaust and tyres garage chain trick, whats the most you can pay guv? and then surprise surprise, the estimate comes in £10 under for two tyres, and a new suspension and steering rack when you went in for a single puncture repair

so have got this wrong? With all the "its going ahead, we are finally getting our new stand" noise, I thought it was all sorted, with work basically due to start, but from all the above it seems that all thats happened is that they have been given planning permission again, as the last...

I think its a very positive step for Palace, and much over due. Its a hard choice but150 million for one stand seems a huge amount of money- when the rest of the ground is in dire need. I wonder if spending say 50 million on the rest of the ground, and 100 million on the stand would be better...

I think we have to remeber that this isnt just a revenue making scheme, it is finally an attempt to modernise the ground . Even if it is just one stand. We have all been saying what a dump the stadium de clad is for years, and its 100 years old. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and say...

I hadn't realised that it was just us , villa , wolves, and brentford the only ones to stay up since we were promoted- Newcastle is a different case I think, its basically a different club now, but before the saudi money they were I recall in deep deep relegation trouble. It just shows how hard...

To be fair to @loz , he is a regular poster, who remains respectful and offers some good insights from a palace perspective, and adds value to this thread

its their training top apparently

Are Palace in a bit of a nowhere to go place at the moment. With owners that are just rich enough to keep them where they are, but not rich enough to throw the kind of money required to hire a really top manager, and buy the next level up of players to be able to make a difference. With a...

I think most people recognise Roy as a solid coach, who did a good job in keeping you safely in the prem last time he was there. He has loads of experience and the players seem to respond accordingly. If you go with him this coming season then I cant see you in any danger of the bottom 5 or six...

to be fair to @loz Brightons stated aim is to be a regular top 10 finisher, with regular cup runs. Its unrealistic IMO, to think we will be finishing top 6 all the time, especially with Newcastle joining the mega multi billionaire club Realistically any club outside the big six/seven have to...

This is a strange take on yesterday, not sure what set of fans he was watching

I think the next two weeks are pivotal in Palaces season. With a run of games against teams lower than them, a loss against Leicester and then Southampton would see them slide down the table, and possibly panic set in, and relegation become a real possibility, whereas 6 points would bolster...

It isnt the contents of NSCs recent threads that will decide the points from these matches, but weirdly its the players on the pitch! Who knew? It has to be said that we have a penchant for failing against all odds to get maximum (or sometimes any) points from Palace and Bournemouth, but given...
