When Clattenf*** didn't play advantage
When prick features didn't give off side
When Manpoo handled it in
When Punch lost form
When Bolasie got injured
When Wayne dropped it
When we didn't buy a centre half in 2015
When we sold a bit of our soul to America
When Cabaye dropped his wallet
When we paid 30K for a 10K player
When we sold a 20K player for 10

We could go on and on but being Palace means we will always ,always shoot ourselves in the head just when it seems we have every chance of moving up a level .

The main thing is we have another turning point soon ,onwards and upwards ,COYP

All he's had is luck!

Babs and Clean Willie were in love they said....

The turning point ?

Offering Pardew an improved contract at a time when the press were touting him as a possibility for the England job, when all the while our results were turning sour.

AP must have thought he was a ' made man '. And proceeded to pursue a playing policy that was failing in front of our eyes.

Speaking as a fan and season ticket holder etc., my thoughts were that we lacked a better class of central defender, that we didn't have a ball winner in midfield post Jedi and that Cabaye and Punch together doesn't work. And yes, no balance on the left and a fading Ward at right back.

Pardew didn't address those issues - I have to assume he didn't think it necessary. And he got paid £2m a year for that view.

SA has come in and signed players that will hopefully resolve those problems.

Much as I respect the work that Steve Parish has done for this club, I think he's been failing in his job for over a year now.

Let the abuse commence....

You are correct. There have been mistakes ever since then.

Numerous repeated mistakes on the pitch every week, fortnight or 3 weeks.

Errors made ignoring certain areas on the pitch in that transfer window and the summer 2016 window.

Not sacking Pardew 3 days after the final once the hype had faded, his hangover had gone and ego had deflated from the size of Wembley to the size of Sutton Utd.

Not sacking Pardew after Swansea.

Not sacking Pardew after Hull.

Hiring Sam or anyone later than it should've been done.

Oh and chucking the 1st games of the season every year is never a great idea. West Brom at home? What about poor prep after the international break vs a West Ham that needed and wanted the win and us that just played with it expecting it to drop on our laps'. That is why they were the happiest group of players he ever worked with. They had it easy, and that ease made it easy for oppo to target us.
