Is anyone who sits in the lower Holmesdale able to shed any light on the incidents between Delaney and the fans at HT and Cabaye and a section of fans at FT?

It seemed to me that both lost their cool, which suggests that some fairly severe abuse must've been dished out. A shame really as the fans and players relationship over the last few years has been closer than I can ever remember, but Cabaye can't exactly shy away from the fact he's had a stinker of a season to date and in my opinion Delaney is no longer good enough for PL football.

Just my opinion but i think Damo has lost his heart for CPFC since Pardew ripped the spine out of the team > Jedinak, Bolasie, Gayle, Murray.

4 players who all fought for this club and instilled that in others, I think Delaney probably feels this.

Agreed. None of the players are concerned of any of any of the enforcers in the team because Jedinak's gone and Dann is mute.

If any of them f*** up, bottle challenges, don't battle their marker etc then it doesn't matter. They'll get an offer elsewhere if we go down. referring to Benteke, Townsend who I'm really facked off with and Cabaye who is more interested in verbals everywhere. I wish someone just put him on his &rse so he concentrated on what he's supposed to be good at.

Cabaye does get upset and have seen him lose it like when dele alli sly fouled him last season... but he was fighting tonight (probably should have got booked first half for one tackle) and was more mobile and creative than some! You're complaining about him being a pussy etc but when he stands up or shows passion/aggression you berate him anyway - why?! Personally I think he needs someone with more energy around him like Lee (more effort and more effective in cameo at Arsenal than any other player) rather than Townshend or Punch who seem so static and slow going forward.

As for Delaney he didn't seem to do anything different to normal (ok reading game and tries hard but bit slow and not great passer - diagonal long balls) so not sure why anyone would single him out or have a go at him?

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

I sit in the Lower Holmesdale, and my take on the Delaney incident was that he was reacting to the widespread boos that the whole team were getting.

It didn't appear to be aimed at him personally.

I have to say that in 50 years of going to Selhurst Park, I can't recall a Palace team receiving that amount of hostility from so many people.

And frankly tonight they deserved it. If you can't play creative, attractive football ok - but at least have a scrap - they weren't even up for that.

Cabaye did gesture to have it over at the tunnel but it wasn't the HF but someone more in line with the goalpost on the HF side and 20 yards and higher than the HF. Cabaye couldn't fight Damon Albarn and he should remember people travel everywhere to watch them let us and themselves down for 12 months. To watch our premiership future slowly slip away without a fight? What do they expect? Us to accept it, then move to Southampton or wherever and all to be ok. Fvck them. They need to have a sit down together as well as the manager to iron their sh1t out.
