When Carragher was asked if there were any positives for Palace fans last night he took a sharp intake of breath, then looked down at his shoes. Whilst this was probably in an effort not to swear at the presenter, he came up with a good answer pretty quickly.

He said we are almost guaranteed to finish between 10th and 15th, as we've done for the last 8 seasons. He said the reason he thinks we do that is because the board don't panic and take their time making decisions.

Whilst in my opinion, they've taken too much time over the decision to get rid of Hodgson, they've built that safety net as we have a squad strong enough to stay up with no need for drastic change.

Excellent stewardship has got us from fighting for our Championship place against Doncaster 10 years ago to fans argument that survival in the premiership is no longer the minimum success criteria the club should have.

We're at a difficult crossroads. There's only 9 clubs in the premiership who are been there longer than us.

Marvelous adult response to the reasons SP is terrible... I mean.. the blah blah really put the message across.

There will undoubtedly be an overhaul at the end of the season and fair enough if Hodgson can crawl us across the finish line this season.

As for his stumbling... I wish i could stumble like him.

Fact is: We are still in the premier league.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but when responding to a post you could at least make sure that your response is relevant to the post that you are quoting and not just a general rant at no-one in particular.

For the avoidance of doubt no-one in their right mind would think that the poster that you were quoting was suggesting that Steve Parish should not have saved our club when we were about to go to the wall as that is just a figment of your rather fanciful imagination

Rather unfair Midlands. Poster asked a question which may or may not have been rhetorical.

It was responding to a rather hysterical attack on Parish 'supporters'.

can i ask? did you read that post back before posting?

if not i suspect you may want to in future as what you posted was utter tripe.

if i am being honest a long term poster like yourself really should know better.

My post was in defence of Steve Parish, the previous poster was denegrating the man. I think Sir u are mistaken in your view of the subject of my post, surely you must agree the previous poster was behaving like a naughty child?post quote=Midlands Eagle;3603417]
