Funnily enough, when my wife returned from work and I was in full rant about this, her reaction was “ perhaps they don’t want to play for Roy anymore, or they don’t want to be in a team beaten by Brighton” how could I argue?

Couldn’t be a better time to play them. A derby match against The Weed is just what they need to get stuck in after 2 Lula year performances. Great opportunity for Eze to make himself a Palace hero and Mateta to get that first goal. COYP!

Bring the bottle ... you'll need it!

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

You are all so miserable. Let's look on the bright side, Connor Wickham is back in training and Hennessey turned out for the U23s. Brighton must be sh1tting themselves. Oh, and Roy's going to play attacking football, having not seen the banner at the training ground.

We love to give people firsts though don't we? Almost every bloody match.

Red and Blue Army!

Exactly! As much as it pains me to say it, the weed are going to break that duck on Monday.

cannot be true EVERY game in the Prem is now live on TV somewhere

I was joking !

Old, Ungifted and White

I don’t think I have ever gone into a game knowing with such absolute clarity that we are going to take a hiding. Even against City or Liverpool (wrongly) there was a chance of the (then pretty solid) defence holding out and allowing a miracle goal at the other end. But there is nothing to cling onto for Monday.

I predict if we don't play ok and get a result the level of s*** losing, look at me ranting and general outrage on here will go to new levels

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.
