Sorry to disagree, with the funds available to PL clubs we should be more than capable of being a stable mid table PL team, it is nothing to do with punching as you put it above our weight, SP is solely responsible for our current plight, forget what happened in the past, that cannot be changed but the future can, that means we need a change at the top, someone who has experience at running a PL club, SP has overseen 8 mangers in just over four years, this has caused the instability in the club and team, it makes us unattractive to good PL players and managers, SP has overseen some poor quality transfers, he cannot make decisions unless he has got three months to think about it first, our poor home record 26 wins from 79 home PL is down to him because of the succession of different managers and styles that he wants them to play, if we go back to the championship all the players you mention will be on their bikes out of here in a flash, we will lose income and be if we are lucky an average Championship side with crowds of 13k as you put hardly the outcome I want!

Its truly sad that this is the case, but its undeniable. Parish is strangling us slowly but surely. This De Boer fiasco has rocked the players and the transfer window was a joke. Parish thinks you can barely do any business apart from 11pm on deadline day, I have said it a million times but not signing another striker or a keeper is absolutely scandalous. We have 3 left backs, and.......Joel Ward. We have absolutely no attacking threat off the bench. Years and years of failed transfer strategies and overall muddled thinking and mishandling of managers is catching up with us now. Its probably going to be time to pay the piper this year.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Nero watched Rome burn and Parish appears to have taken his laurel leaf. When the inevitable relegation happens just waiting for Puncheon to demand a transfer claiming he's to good for the championship.

Spot on! But where do we go from here? No use blaming SP for this & that, we're in deep trouble and that's where Roy H has to start. My ample suggestions:
1. Strip Jason P of his captaincy and let him & Ward nowhere near 1st team. We're celebrites now with our new record, get them on "Strictly dancing" or "Jungle celebrity".
2. Find the very best sports-scientist healer in the world and make him/her work with Zaha/Sakho 24/7 - whatever cost.
3. Luke told clearly he belongs to the 1st team with his cameo.
4. Palace ladies scored 30 goals in their first 4 games, the Under-23 win and lose, but still score goals. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" - we are beyond that. Roy H. has to do more than practise & practise.
5. Transfer window closed, 1 striker in team. It's time for young players to step up. Give (some of) them a chance, it can not get any worse.
6. MacArthur probably had his worst ever game of football Saturday, together with Cabaye, RLC and Luka he will come good.
7. For the Manchester trips, throw in any central defender and not only park the bus (like Swansea when they drew Spurs yesterday), but build a wall inside/round 16 m box.
We don't want the horrible record stretched to 8 games (no scoring). Wonder if own goals count as scored...?
Whatever, let's give the lads our full support - we're the pride of South London, remember (even though I live in Chiang Mai, Thailand)..

You cant blame Parish for the Sahko saga. That is down to the selling club. Liverpool held all the Aces.

It's from the serendipity school of management
