Sad.

A lot of anger on here. Such is mine atm I thought it not worth the public demonstration of my disillusionment, despair and teenage-like hysteria over the past couple of hours.

I’m trying to just ignore it all for now and look towards Leicester. Didn’t expect anything today in any case plus objectively speaking that was always extremely unlikely. No intention to take the Michael but at least we scored today, it’s the smallest of glimmers, plus Wilf could have had a couple with better luck.

It all seems very, very dismal and hopeless but little point going mad over it. If anything I feel inclined to transfer my ire from PV to the players with that aimed at the board still present, but that’ll achieve nothing but me just winding myself up.

I’m going to invest in blind hope, quite sincerely. A couple weeks for someone new to come in, with fresh ideas and kick this lot up the ar5e to actually get something from games where it is far more possible.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Roll the sleeves up time, Palace. Team's season needs an earnest reboot from the next match vs. Leicester City at home. From The Board to the players then the fans. Season restarts for The Eagles THEN after the international break. Draw breath....

Bet it’s bloody cold out there.

You can disagree but you are wrong.

How was Roy treading water you really need to do your research look at the league finishing places.

Roy didn't have less resources are you serious when did Roy spend close to 150m NEVER PV had this for not even 2 full seasons.

Roy didn't say that you have twittered his words so those Palace players was better then the England squad. YEAH OK

Again delusional what has Gallagher and Kouyate done since leaving NOTHING.

Mcarthur is 35 years old had been battling injury issues for many seasons. (21 & 18 games last few seasons)

You train players fitness to style you play and lets say the staff are not good the manager should have forced the issue or walked from the club. (Pepe and Klopp first thing sthey did was sort fitness levels out)

Those two managers you mention have a valid reason playing more games and in the case of Arsenal they could be playing Thurs and Sat (quality of players do not matter these people are human)

The lineup we use was the managers choice he had others available it was clear to see players who was better options he had no interest in

Richards and Hughes looked good he then dropped them back to same old.

To suggest we wouldn't be in the Premiership without Joel Ward is, quite frankly ridiculous. Yes he's been a great servant but being a great servant doesn't make you immune from criticism...
He hasn't been good enough for The Premiership for at least the last 3 seasons and today just exposed how poor he is at this level.

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

To offer a middling perspective on this and the initial post to which it responded:

I don’t agree with the booing of Joel ward, not only does he seem like a good man but he has been a great servant. It might be technically inaccurate under intense scrutiny to say we wouldn’t be here without him but to support the sentiment he’s played a huge role.

All that said, and I don’t blame him personally, I’d suggest it was more than 3 seasons ago I’d started hoping we’d move in from him. AWB came in and I thought ‘finally’, but he went, and seasons later were still relying on Joel Ward when staring down the barrel. Encapsulates the ludicrous situation. I don’t know the ins and outs but I’d of started Clyne & Richards today if possible, Martinelli against Ward was like turning up to a gun fight with a slingshot and a rolling pin.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
