raba Posted 3 April 2013 Posted 3 April 2013 Afternoon ladies & gents, Palace fan in pieces... What's going on this season? I can't for the life of me remember one like this with every team in & around the playoffs doing their best to **** it up. Hopefully come April 20th when you visit our hole of a stadium both our forms will have improved and we'll have a bloody good & important game on our hands. Good luck for Saturday chaps & the rest of the season.
LCFC FOX Posted 3 April 2013 Posted 3 April 2013 Finally not a scummy fan who has came on to take the p*ss, but yeah good luck in the play offs shame we will not be in them
raba Posted 3 April 2013 Author Posted 3 April 2013 The way Holloway's tinkered with our first eleven, our formation & his maddening habit of picking random players names out of a hat to decide on substitutions is making a lot of us think that we'll be sliding down the table so your playoff place is as possible as ours! As I said, best of luck, just a bit of a shame that Leicester v Forest & Palace v Brighton in the playoff semis is as unlikely as Cardiff losing their nerve again!
LCFC FOX Posted 3 April 2013 Posted 3 April 2013 As Cardiff have pretty much won the league I hope Watford get second. Then either Palace or Brighton win the play offs.(If we don't make them) Just keep Dull and Florest down
Munshi Posted 3 April 2013 Posted 3 April 2013 As Cardiff have pretty much won the league I hope Watford get second. Then either Palace or Brighton win the play offs.(If we don't make them) Just keep Dull and Florest down Seriously, people dont think we'll make play-offs?
raba Posted 3 April 2013 Author Posted 3 April 2013 As Cardiff have pretty much won the league I hope Watford get second. Then either Palace or Brighton win the play offs.(If we don't make them) Just keep Dull and Florest down We'll try to do our best, a Palace v Brighton playoff final is what both our sets of fans want but I'm not sure that my heart will cope with 90 minutes of knockout football but the atmosphere will be electric! Still, 6 games to go & this league is ludicrously tight & as unpredictive as a scud missile so I expect plenty of twists, turns, heartache & tears before this season is put to bed.
LJS Posted 3 April 2013 Posted 3 April 2013 People do? We're in appalling form. We aren't making the play offs.
Munshi Posted 3 April 2013 Posted 3 April 2013 I can see us against palace in the play-off final. With us obviously going on to win 4-0
Legend_in_blue Posted 3 April 2013 Posted 3 April 2013 No team wants promotion because no team is decent enough to make a go of it next season. Whoever goes up will come straight back down the following season. Al three teams. No question.
raba Posted 3 April 2013 Author Posted 3 April 2013 I can see us against palace in the play-off final. With us obviously going on to win 4-0 Good on you! I've had a bit of a bimble around a few of your threads & the similarities between your forum & the Palace forum I post on is insane. Negativity is rife & it seems meltdown is imminent!
Webbo Posted 3 April 2013 Posted 3 April 2013 No team wants promotion because no team is decent enough to make a go of it next season. They'll still be £90 million better off though.

Whoever goes up will come straight back down the following season. Al three teams. No question. Investment is the key, maintaining the core of the team bringing in good a few good additions that don't break the bank & a promoted team will stand a chance in my opinion. Doing a QPR & having a massive wage bill and mercenary players is not an option.
raba Posted 3 April 2013 Author Posted 3 April 2013 Other teams have negative fans We could be thirty points clear at the top and an element of our fans would still moan that it took more than a minute to get through to the box office. Such is the life of a football fan!!

If you look at southampton, they were starting to lose a few games before the end of last season and their fans probably said the same but if you look at them now, they're beating the likes of man city and chelsea and playing good football.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 3 April 2013 Posted 3 April 2013 Oh I see Hollowheads witty banter and press savvy don't make him a great manager then ? Agree with you raba everyone bar the perennial bottlers are at it this season!
raba Posted 3 April 2013 Author Posted 3 April 2013 Oh I see Hollwheads witty banter and press savvy don't make him a great manager then ? Agree with you raba everyone bar the perennial bottlers are at it this season! Cracking jokes to his media chums after another defeat is not endearing him with a lot of the Palace faithful. My wife's from Plymouth so I knew how much of a clown he is long before he walked into Selhurst with his bumper book of cheesy one liners tucked under his arm. Dougie Freedman had no charisma with the media & a negative style of play but it worked. Plenty of our fans would happily take him back but it's hard to forgive the way he left us. It felt like your girlfriend said she loves you but two days later goes off with a more attractive richer bloke.

In all seriousness though, there will always be something to moan about as we're football fans

Corky Posted 3 April 2013 Posted 3 April 2013 This is a very poor league. Any promoted side would need a serious overhaul of either style or squad, and in most cases both, to survive next season.

They had 10 men for most of the game but we were utter shite. After the game he told the local radio that the fans should 'chill out and have a sandwich' Went down well!

I 've always had a soft spot for palace up untill hollowhead took over ! Can not stand him . I wonder if he still refuses to train the defensive side of the game like was revealed by a player after he left blackpool?
raba Posted 3 April 2013 Author Posted 3 April 2013 But bolton arent richer or more attractive, why did he go there anyway? There is no clear answer to this unfortunately. Depending on what camp you're in he either went for the money or he was disillusioned that a championship club was going to sell their prized asset. I suppose tripling his wages and having a Premiership squad outweighs daily hell of living in Bolton.
