Negative is: Palace are crap and going down and all who say differently are talking rubbish.
Positive is: Because of Palace non-commital to all out attack and lack of the skill to build from the back, I honestly believe (against my utmost desire) my beloved team will be relegated. Those who say otherwise must explain how lumping the ball anywhere and not investing in the players to play out of defence will enhance Palace's chnances of survival.
Because many may not agree with the above positive synopsis does not make it then a negative thread. Thus Willo, a famous contributor of great erradiction, is misunderstood by posters of lesser comprehension. Easy!

For your first point Adrian, I dont agree. I think if you look back at the games under Pulis we do try and play from the back and the ball is rolled out wherever possible. Man Utd were good at closing this down so was rarer on Saturday. Also, we have both Chamakh and Murray who are very good in the air so it would be foolish not to use that - especially considering a lot of the time they bring the ball down and dont just try and win a header.

Secondly, yes it does. If you state that something unwanted will happen you are being negative. It may be your hand on heart belief and fair enough, you may state it in a positive way, but it is still a negative opinion. And my personal view is that the sort of unity and support that was shown on Saturday does not exist when people have no more to say other than 'we're all doomed' as it were.

Hence suggesting its better to be positive and if your view is negative then why announce it ? To be proved right if we go down ? To just be different ? To be opposite ? Sure anyone can write whatever they like but I dont see the point of being negative. I genuinely believe it increases our chances of staying up is everyone believes we can. Belief is a very powerful thing and if I was a Palace player and saw and heard what we do as fans then I'd be busting a gut for every second im on the pitch and frankly the team talks write themselves.

You'll be forever in my family's memories and it was an honor and privilege to play and lead in the red and blue
Yours sincerely
Mile Jedinak

I can assure everyone that I am certainly NOT a reincarnation of anyone on HOL.
I am just an aged supporter (Born 1952) who joined HOL for the first time in March last year.

I hope this is not an accusation !
I can assure one and all I haven't appeared in any guises other than WILLO on HOL.

i thought forums were for people to express their opinions ? obviously for people like you thats a bit difficult to swallow. Got bored of saying negative things about Gayle did you?

ha this is a first. I actualy agree with bubble wrap. Its noble of you stick up for somebody who is getting ganged up on. There is far too much moral majority thinking = correct. If somebody has the bottle to express a thought or opinion then its likely others have had the same thought. So cut out all the pi** taking and respect a fellow fans right to express himself. If you have a decent counter argument then say it - dont need to resort to bitching
