Alleged to be the easiest run in of all the bottom teams BUT with the amount of bad luck and lack a striker that can actually kick the ball in a straight line a loss at Bournemouth will, I believe see our belief and fragile confidence evaporate.... we will unfortunately fall at the last hurdle when Pardew comes to Selhurst ... it’s written in the stars !

A pessimist or an optimist with experience of following the Palace fo well over 50 years .... been there and seen it so many times, l do so hope that I am wrong as I believe Roy is an honourable man who deserves more.
