Yeah we tried to buy one of their strikers. The arrogance of thinking a club will let go of them without time to replace them told in the Turkish press.

Somebody also signed an unbelievable amount of players with the Lukaku money when what they really needed was just a couple and Giroud or similar. Result was Koeman didn't know his best team, had to fit Rooney and Sigurdsson in and played them both wide when they never do. He lost it and went down the desperate round pegs in square holes route, only more expensive.

He's excusing the problem so I'm replying. Are you on the payroll or did you get extra this weekend for a good blow dry?

If everyone knew the striker fiasco we wouldn't be starting the season in this inexcusable, amateur fashion.

I replied to another poster replying to me. Eat an onion.

To all those complaining about Parish, read this:

That's what a badly run club looks like.

We're not like that. We’re the opposite, heading in the right direction a bit erratically and slowly, and secure. None of us knows what goes on inside those offices where transfers are made or break down, few of us have run multi-million pound businesses. But we do know that we aren’t Blackpool.

Where has this sense of entitlement come from? You’re getting to sound like Arsenal fans. Come on. This is Palace, our lovely, infuriating Palace. We specialise in snatching triumph from the jaws of disaster at the last minute. Mind you, sometimes we snatch disaster from the jaws of disaster too. It won’t change. Please stop moaning.

Even after this unbelievably awful start, this is one of the best times I can remember in fifty years of suffering for this lot. And we can be confident that the club will be around for many more generations to get the bug. Supporting Palace is not for the faint hearted. But it never ceases to be fun. We are here. We are alive. We can watch Wilf. It doesn’t get better than that.

PS. Bet we don’t go down.
