I blow hot and cold on Charlie Austin but I now think most of his negatives can be directly related to his being a pretty good striker in a crap team!. I think we could promise him more at Selhurst as we have the potential to provide a pretty good service from the flanks.

Well he scored 17 times in a depraved environment this season so he has plenty of experience to offer us . How many times have you scored lately in similar circumstances?.I hope your depression is clinical because then we could cure you but there are danger signs that it might be manic in which case you will,sooner or later, go bananas. These danger signs are that you cannot understand the word " potential" and you have yet to realize that football teams and whorehouses have something in common. They both depend on the facilities they offer and the staff they employ. I was focusing beyond Wilf and Bolasie in the knowledge that "THE YANKS ARE COMING WITH LOADS OF LOLlY" so our potential for a better ground with better players is indeed great. We may have lots to offer Charlie. Go and get some treatment mate and don't dilly dally on the way!.

I'm only identified as Blind Eagle because I don't see too well at present but perhaps if things do not go well I shall become as blind as you suggest. I was bred and born just a gentle stroll down Portland Road ,South Norwood,from Selhurst. I have been a Palace supporter for 70 years so in view of your litany of restrictions and impossibilities for any expansion of facilities I am anxious to hear what the future of our Club is. To what extent has Parish tried to address these issues? It seems we might have to down size our ambitions and just be a smaller club without too many ideas of going for the big time. I'm sorry to hear that we are not going to get a windfall from The Yanks as I thought this might make a difference but as you would not want them anyway , I enquire if there is a way we could raise additional capital in Britain with which to finance players and limited ground improvements? Perhaps my most pressing concern is how will all these impediments to expansion affect the Club from the point of view of morale? We might conceivably reach a point where every body just gets pissed off and leaves. I would certainly hope not and so I do hope Parish will begin to think out loud and let us know what and where our future really is. I can now understand why you are so depressed but its clinical so there is every possibility you will get better and I certainly do hope so!.
