Personally I think we are holding out until the Academy comes good. This is a long game. Stay in the Prem for now, develop the younguns and then we really kick on.

Racist, really? Ha ha report me then!
I sang a song at school about a sheep and never believed it was racist. Ahh well you learn something every day.

It’s generally not a case of how bad we are in any given season, but how poor three other teams are in order to keep us up. Who will go up from the Championship next season? Brentford? I think they can be similar to Leeds and be comfortable. Norwich? Would’ve learnt from the experience last season and have retained the core of a young squad. Watford? Are on a pretty strong financial footing and know how to stay in the prem.
Can we really stay up with this lot next year? If many of them stay around as let’s not forget most of them are out of contract at the end of the season, there will be another season in their ageing legs and most of them look a world away from the players they were. We’ve no idea how our youth will go as they never get a chance to play and Roy would rather field an undermanned bench than blood an academy player. It’s not as if the owners are going to open the wallet and splash on players, but there are always risks with those as they don’t always work out. I cannot see anything other than a season spent in the bottom three next season.

I feel we are going to be as you are until the end of the season. The turning point will be when the fans return to the stadium, there will be no hiding place for the SP and the board.

I’m not going to criticise Roy, he’s done what he can with the players at his disposal. Anyone saying Fat Sam would have done better job, have a look at WBA will you.

That song is probably banned now! I’m still trying to fathom why Maple loves the expression “innit” has he been in Croydon too long?

We are all but safe in a pandemic season, had we won on Saturday we would have had a record points total for this point of the season. This is a reaction to a few bad performances forgetting the we are in difficult circumstances with a large number of players out injured and a number out of contract soon, which is not easy to navigate for the mgmt team at the club.

We are in transition and have the strongest foundation we have arguably ever had (new youth academy, chairman focused on progression, 8 years in premier league). I don’t want to say good riddance to you as it is sad you feel this way, but on you go mate as you sound like a Charlton fan under Curbishley.

 


The Queen supports Crystal Palace. Perhaps she'll buy the club then legitimately all the money in England shall be ours. Plus all the swans.

This is not a reaction to a few bad performances this has been in decline now for over 18 months I think we have won 8 games in the last 37 or so based on this that would give us 24pts meaning relegation.

We also have the 2nd worst defence in the league & do not score many.

The football is crap, passive, with no intent.

Please tell me how this is a reaction to just a few bad results.

I’m absolutely gobsmacked how some fans accept this rubbish.

As I have said I don’t expect to win all the time but I do expect to see my team try to win.

Some people really have low expectations in life why, if you aim high & have goals you then have something to aim for.

I’m fed up hearing people say our squad is too old, not good enough etc.

Well let me inform you that Burnley’s Team yesterday was in fact older than ours & played us off the park.

This is cause they have a manager that is getting the best out of the squad he has.

Also correct me if I am wrong but the year Palace got promoted we were one of the favourites for relegation but we ended up winning promotion.

I’m sorry but if we get the right manager then anything is possible you don’t have to spend big just find the right characters with leadership & points to prove.

Look at Soucek & Coufal no one had heard of them have been great signings for West Ham, Mac Callister at Brighton what a find he has been.

When was the last time we found someone like this?

All to do with the set up & leadership & Roy has to take the blame.

yep it banned now . i thought it was ridiculous when they banned Jack and Jill went up the hill . trying to change it to neutral gender person and another neutral gender person went up a hill .

 

NEILLO Flag Shoreham-by-Sea 14 Feb 21 11.34am

Horrorshow ( appropriate name after yesterday ! ) pointed out, a win against Burnley would have given us our highest points total at this stage of the season.

However, I know it doesn't feel like that. Some really lame performances broken up with unconvincing wins.

But these are the good times compared to what long suffering fans like me have had to endure.

I support CPFC. Not Parish, not Hodgson, not individual players. If I gave up on them, I would be giving up on the sport as I've no interest in switching clubs.

To me, support is through bad times and good.

It's not a lecture it's a practical tip. Better written messages will have more impact and be taken more seriously.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Do you know what is with people like you always trying to find fault & bring people down.

So f***ing what if the execution is pants the point was to just let the owner/club know how disappointed I am & unfortunately we can’t voice our opinions at the games.

Do you know what for those of you that are satisfied with the crap you are watching & the continuous excuses you make for Roy & believe there is no alternative but to stick with this s***, good luck to you.

But I don’t have to accept if I choose not too, it’s my time, my money I am giving to club not yours & I am entitled to do & say what I want & also write badly executed emails if that’s what I want do.

I have never settled for under achievement or 2nd best & I won’t start now.

Course I will support Palace all the way does not mean I have to accept this crap or agree with it.

So if anyone else want to criticise the grammar of my messages then just f*** right off.

Unfortunately I went as a 3 year old with my Dad never looked back, when I imply I don’t accept 2nd best or under achievement I mean I expect to do your best & give it everything.

Something I don’t feel we are doing currently.

I know a lot of people do not agree but I personally feel Roy is massively underachieving & has lost the plot over the last 33 to 40 games - based on those we would be relegated, have the 2nd worst defence & be the lowest goal scorers.

But oh know is doing a fabulous job?

Sorry but stats do not lie.

In fairness I think Parish would have to have his head stuck up his arse to be unaware of the unrest among the fan base at the moment.

Even the players aren't putting the usual platitudes on Twitter.

Ah, it's anylyze if used as a verb

I didn't know that

The z is an Americanism but is acceptable.

They both have the same meaning. "Analyse" is much more common in British English and "analyze" is the American and Canadian spelling of the same word. This is also true about these words:

analysing/analyzing

analyser/analyzer

analysed/analyzed

They all come from the noun "analysis" which is the corresponding noun in all varieties of English.
