Really wish the club would drop this 'Meyer of London' tagline. It's so cringey.

I agree, they have Maxed out it's use.

(I'll get my coat now)

Thanks GG - a good appraisal without the usual vitriol that often comes with footballing opinions.

To answer your question about journalism, the UK has some of the best journalists in the world and there is a thread or two on the HOL discussing the worst of them also.

The link you presented was not journalism but a website. Everyone has access to the web and can create and write whatever they choose. Doesn’t mean the writers are either talented or trained / educated, but they have as much right to spout their opinions as any other. Concerning the topic I guess mistakes are made and Palace probably had a good chuckle with Meyer about that - truth is nobody really cares. What is typical is that many Palace fans feel as though our club is tainted by a general view of inferiority, a view we would like to shake. Remaining in the Premier League for many years and reaching the FA Cup Final well never quite relieve us of the tag Crystal “Fcuking” Palace - a club that you’re expecting to beat.

Meyer for us represents a move in the right direction. He is an ungrade for us and a potentially excellent signing should Roy hodgson get the best out of him. The media, though, are potentially keen to see Meyer fail and Palace fall apart rather than anything else and the article shows how we are often represented (in part).

Good media outlets and proper journalists evaluate the situation at a club by interviewing a Manager or a Player to get firsthand information and knowledge. Sportswitness or others like them rarely bother and they merely rehash twitter or others articles to enable the click bait merry-go-round. It’s part of the British media set up - many ignore it - many like to get riled up. I like to read posts like yours as you’re a fan with knowledge and opinions nformation.

Thanks for your post.
