Pigglelet Deepest Darkest Sussex 08 Jan 17 12.36pm
Tuesday debacle so reminded me of a Championship home game against scunthorpe in April 2011. I’m sure many on here will remember it. scunthorpe were in the relegation spots in 22nd place and Palace were one position higher. scunthorpe had lost their previous 9 away games in a row while Palace on this occasion had not lost a home game in 13, since October. Surely Palace would win this one and put some distance between themselves and their opponents? Nope, Palace lost 1-2. Same score as Tuesday. Even the opponents name starts with the same letter. Oh, and yes, the team that had last beaten us at home – Swansea City! "Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt." Mark Twain.

Originally posted by Hoof Hearted Agree....

I think Parrish has now woken up and smelled the coffee... he let the Pardew situation continue for far too long without acting which has now gone critical. Sadly Allardyce copped a lot of flak on Tuesday, but it's fcuk all to do with him... he has inherited a crock of sh1t and will have to bring his A game to sort it out and avoid relegation. I hope Parrish doesn't fcuk about waiting till the last day of the January window to buy urgently needed players! I was raging at the time, but looking back now I’m quite amused by the fans’ gesture. “This is what I think of the team. You can have my empty season ticket book!” "Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt." Mark Twain.
