FDB. Footballing blue blood and a very highly regarded young coach. Turned to s***e.

"We love you Palace, we f@cking hate Man U, We love you Palace, we hate the brighton too, We love you Palace we play in red 'n' blue, so f@ck you, and you ...

How long ago was he at Villa? Don't think the Liverpool scenario got to him? That also played it on the floor

To maintain a 2:1 ratio over 3 seasons, playing for one of the worst teams in the division, whilst being a young player is hugely impressive - to suggest otherwise is just incorrect.

Benteke has more career PL goals than Gayle has PL games; I think that speaks volumes for the gulf in class.

If we write off the games up until Chelsea due to Frank's incompetence , and the difficulty of the games until Chelsea.
Then it must be Julian Speroni, as he came into a team that was improving and has not saved anything of note , and based on how we judge our keepers now could be held responsible for costing us 4 points.

2:1 ratio only if you include his penalty goals. Which were probably a record high for a striker in the PL at that time

Quite frankly - ( & maybe I am just too forgiving ) I am completely prepared to write off everything that happened before today - during early season the club / team was in turmoil with the fdb experiment or key players out or we were playing teams that were vastly more experienced / more expensive / top 6 etc - where we would have been lucky to get anything out of those games - for me judgment should be considered from today onward, Roy has now had a few weeks to get his thoughts across & we have a few games in front of us now where points should be considered as a real possibility / probability - I honestly hope that we can collectively come together ( club / team / supporters) & start to perform together as we know we can.
