Call me stuck in the past, I am, but I still screw with every goal I see Murray score. Why oh why we let him go I will never, ever understand. My God could we do with his leadership from the front now. I don't even remember who let him go, probably Pardew?? Gayle would have been handy, too. Suicidal decisions which made me fume at the time and still does today.

Gayley got 2 on saturday !

Worst striker ever to wear a Palace shirt, and, yes, I have witnessed Gabbiadini, G Taylor, Brolin, Akinbiyi, Kuqi and a certain guy who missed four golden opportunities in the play-off final.

Reaseasing Benteke now and writiing off GBP 27 mio may sound bizarre. but probably be the most wise option.

No alternative could do worse.

Just out of curiosity can anybody tell me when he last scored for Belgium, and his general record for them? I'm curious to know if this issue is isolated to the premier league/Palace or not. I havn't seen him ever play for Belgium so I don't know.

Thought for a while that his head's gone and he doesn't think he's going to score himself.

Cascarino said in the paper today that CB has the "yips" in front of goal but hasn't helped himself play through it by working hard for the team. Also that when he was hit by the same affliction as a player he needed a complete change of club / scenery to get over it.

I also think the Bournemouth penalty episode was massively damaging to him and that he had nothing to gain from grabbing the ball and plenty to lose.

And this is how you want to support the club you say you like . . . Jeez

God help us & the club with this kind of 'fan' I despair.
