You keep your negativity to yourself old chap. There is only one match out of that 4 (Citeh) that we don't really have much hope in although West Ham ran them close last week and they lost in the CL so all is not lost, far from it. Watford are a bit hit and miss, Leicester are on a good run but I didn't think they looked great against Newcastle yesterday and why shouldn't we beat Arsenal, we did last year?

This..!!

In fact I would go a stage further and say it is/was gross misconduct - definition;
Unacceptable or improper behaviour of a very serious kind, especially by an employee or professional person. "You can sack someone on the spot for gross misconduct".

Obviously we are not going to sack Benteke - he's a £30M odd asset to the club. But he should be heavily fined - 4 weeks wages - minimum his behaviour was unacceptable, improper and unprofessional.

IMO he's an egotistical, primal donna mercenary who has no real feelings or affiliation to the club. He couldn't give a stuff if we go down, he'll be sold, pick up a percentage of the deal/signing on fee and a £100K+ a week contract elsewhere and carry on in his own selfish manner elsewhere with no regrets or thoughts of Palace and the fans.

I for one hope get £30M for him in January and he goes - after yesterday you must assume that his relationship with the management and players is an at all time low.

After all how would we feel if at work you had worked your socks off for something and then someone came in at the last moment with no authority or appointment and screwed it all up at the last minute, for no other reason than to take the glory for their own personal gratification.

As I said unacceptable, improper and unprofessional - so gross misconduct.

3 goals in 14 appearances from Defoe (who's on the same wages as Benteke) this season. Wow, we really missed out there lads! To suggest he would've been a good signing is bordering on the ridiculous.

Fully agree, Benteke is proving to be a waste of space, better of without him that miss could have cost us our PL status by the end of the season, a four year old could have done better!

We have to be realistic about this, no matter how blood-boilingly annoying that was yesterday. Roy should bawl him out (if one can imagine such a thing), fine him and tell him exactly what his future is if he doesn't shape up and fly right. In reality we're never going to sign two strikers in the January window, one maybe, but not two. Until the summer we're going to have to make the best of what we've got.

Absolutely Goldfinger.

Parish is a businessman and this/he should deal with accordingly.

I'm sick and tired of these egotistical, overpaid and under delivering tw@ts believing that they live in a world where the status quo in real life does not apply.

Make a statement Steve and Roy - this was improper, unacceptable and unprofessional and we're not prepared to accept it...!!

We'll see.
