I think any group of humans needs a leader because we tend to be like sheep and all follow someone up front.While I honestly have no idea who was able to put this team spirit together I have a sneaking suspicion that Jeddi, as captain, has been most influential with perhaps some input from Jules who really is a Palace man through and through. I think team spirit is very much tied to club loyalty so perhaps we have an excellent group together and need to contemplate this situation as we plan for next season.

Do you want to expand on your use of the word "playing". I've not seen it appear in the same sentence as "Calvin Andrew" before. I can believe Andrew was at Oxford. I can believe he was wearing a York City shirt. But what you suggest beyond that isn't really credible.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

We have a team of leaders. Pulis, Kemp, Millen, Francis in the coaching staff are all known and very respected. On the pitch we have leaders all across the pitch in Jedi, Dann, Ledley, Damo, Chamakh, Ward. The team spirit is great and will continue to be great.

Michael who is a leader and sets by example,no nonsense captain.Looked up to by the whole squad,and give everyone the run through walls for each other mentality.Remember last year at Huddersfield when Alan Lee broke mr j cheek bone,players all stood as one and there were a few punches thrown.

I don't think team spirit necessarily means pizza or having a laugh with the lads. As one who was very dependent on leadership in my professional life I think it is all about being able to get people to focus on the task at hand and being able to identify those who would put their backs into a cause while helping those who are reluctant to make a commitment to a unified approach to the task in hand. May be leadership means different things to different people, I'm open minded enough to believe so.

Jedinak , I believe Michael is his real name.
