Were they really that bad, seriously? Mr Friend was a great ref for them wasn't he at their place and a mistake at home in very windy conditions allowed Murray a great shot and Knockhard's goal was totally out of the blue in all honesty, they only had those two attempts at our goal, they basically defended brilliantly against us.
We could very easily have scored about six more home goals and no one would have battered an eyelid because we easily deserved them, those six goals would have got us very easily over the fifty points mark and made the home games seem far more enjoyable.

Yeah, they really were that bad. Worse even. The DOUBLE done on us by Brighton ffs.

I agree with this assessment. The Brighton games were a gift-wrapped 6 points to the Weeds. Just look back at the match threads; particularly the away game.

Anyway, as I've posted elsewhere, I would have taken 49 points and a cup qf if you'd offered it to me last August.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Have you ever had anything positive to say? Continually sucking the joy out of life can get a bit wearing you know.

Not bothered about where Brighton finish in relation to us. I always predict a Palace win and I'm always disappointed when we lose as I believe we can finish in the top 8. We would have if we had beaten a couple of teams (as you rightly point out) we finished comfortably above.

This isn't miserable. This is positivity. Being happy with mediocrity isn't positive in my book, it's negative.

Thanks for the advice, great job!

I'm glad you've taken the time to give such constructive and in no way patronising advice on how I should formulate my opinions about palace: subject to your approval of course.

As you're obviously the type of person who appreciates open and honest exchanges let me reciprocate:

Please, have a great summer, pick up a book about soccer, educate yourself. Perhaps do some math(s) and see where we could be in the table if we beat our rivals who are s*** and come back with a positive, can do attitude: Top 8 here we come, Go Eagles!

Well said sir. Those moaning that we lost to Brighton twice and Watford 3 times are conveniently ignoring that we won at City, could have won at Liverpool, took 4 points from Arsenal etc etc. In fact over the last 15 games of the season we were only bettered by Liverpool and Man City. An extraordinary achievement. If we can continue with that level of consistency for next season we will all be delighted (well maybe with one exception who always seems to put a downer on things).

If we had picked up 9 more points at home, we would be watching the FA cup final to see if we could get into Europe...The difference could as been as fine as beating Brighton both times and finding 1 more win...

We had an excellent season that didnt really get excellent until quite late. In the end in the opposition forums, nobody looked confident about beating us, not even the top 6 sides.

Having a decent striker turned it round for us in the end. Having a preditory striker and a tank who beats most defenders in the air make a massive difference to a side like ours...

I think we need a proper quality striker, genuinly go big on it, then possibly a midfielder who can pop a few from range. A premiership version of Ambrose and we could achieve amazing things next season!

FYI I was All NYC at Stuyvesant HS in the 1970s as an outside right playing in a WM formation. I go back to the New York Generals & Skyliners of the original NASL. Then there were the Apollo of the ASL. I learned the game from English & Scottish counselors at YMCA Camp Brooklyn, where I was a #2, 4, 7 & 11. I was also a referee at both youth & military levels until my oft sprained & broken ankle gave out. I seen Pele live playing for Santos as well as Brazil & the Cosmos, especially his debut at Downing Stadium on Father’s Day, scoring the equalizer in a 2-2 draw with Kyle Rote, Jr.’s Dallas Tornado in a friendly. I follow both the sport and CPFC because it’s fun and s din’t obsess on particular results. For that, there’s the zero sum experience of politics. Now, since you have bored me to tears, go bother someone else. I want to enjoy the latest videos on eagles.cpfc.com with a pint bottle of Dirt Ginger Ale.

Good for you, would you like a medal? I'm not sure how any of that is relevant although I find it ironic that you complain of being bored to tears when you're the one trotting out their life's story, like I should care about your minor, insignificant achievements or that it qualifies you in some way to tell me how I should support Palace.

Enjoy your ginger ale, great job!

No need to be so negative
