Is it just me or have some of the media singled Palace out and type cast us as 'the premiership newboys who don't know what they're doing' ?

Stuart Pearce on Goals on Sunday. "they've got a great atmosphere down there, and Tony Pulis has brought that". Haven't watched a game at Selhurst for a few years have we Stuart?

This appears to be a purely statistical study done in a sterile environment. It only counts the number of players used by the club over a period of time and does not take into account the circumstances of their use or their status in the club. Under "waste of time and paper," file this one under waste of time and paper.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'We have the biggest squad in the whole of europe ' by SloveniaDave Parish sets the record straight: "This study is an anomaly. It is not saying we have the biggest squad, it is saying we have used the most number of players over the last few years. "In 2010, we were in administration and missed out on Championship relegation and now we are in the Premier League, so given where we have come from, it is not surprising. We overachieved and we had to get a lot of new players in to refresh the squad. "Some of the players will be from the academy, and we like to give players that opportunity - whereas other teams, such as Tottenham and Chelsea, have lots of young players who don't get anywhere near the first team. "We have taken criticism for signing too many players, but in the Premier League you get injuries, players leave or a couple don't fit. And I suspect we have less players out on loan than other top Premier League clubs."

Tim Sherwood has told owners not to buy any foreign talent as he That will be the test, will the boardroom allow him the time, especially since this is a club with European aspirations. If Sherwood succeeds, that will auger well for clubs like Palace. Good luck to him.
