To all those complaining about Parish, read this: That's what a badly run club looks like. We're not like that. We’re the opposite, heading in the right direction a bit erratically and slowly, and secure. None of us knows what goes on inside those offices where transfers are made or break down, few of us have run multi-million pound businesses. But we do know that we aren’t Blackpool. Where has this sense of entitlement come from? You’re getting to sound like Arsenal fans. Come on. This is Palace, our lovely, infuriating Palace. We specialise in snatching triumph from the jaws of disaster at the last minute. Mind you, sometimes we snatch disaster from the jaws of disaster too. It won’t change. Please stop moaning. Even after this unbelievably awful start, this is one of the best times I can remember in fifty years of suffering for this lot. And we can be confident that the club will be around for many more generations to get the bug. Supporting Palace is not for the faint hearted. But it never ceases to be fun. We are here. We are alive. We can watch Wilf. It doesn’t get better than that. PS. Bet we don’t go down.

Of course we are not like that and hopefully we never will be either.

We are alive. We can watch Wilf. It doesn’t get better than that. PS. Bet we don’t go down. So every time Parish repeats obvious errors nobody in the football world makes and takes liberties in the league with it we should appreciate we're not <insert worst tinpot team of the moment> when in fact we've had a great opportunity to make our stay a very long one without that much grief? Why else sign Sakho? We've had 8 months to target and sign a striker and a keeper. The rest of the planet does it. Whatever 'goes on inside the offices' should be enough to solve that in 8 months. This sense of entitlement? What, wanting more than 1 win and goal scored by one of our players in about 15 league games? That's a sense of entitlement is it? To have a striker? This is one of the best times to be a Palace fan? Sorry but the last few months watching this predictably unfold, reading Parish's arrogant tweets suggesting there's nothing to worry about is anything but good. These issues are not surprises, but a player getting injured when we have no cover apparently is to an 18% shareholder who makes every decision it seems with very little appreciation for what can and does happen. I say that because I presume the ex Palace pros pipe up at some point. 'We are alive.' Yes the sun has come today as well. Yippee. 'It doesn't get much better.' I'm afraid it does, has, and if negligent risks weren't taken and some actual planning with people who know what they're doing was done, it would stay at a good level and not losing without scoring for months. You bet we stay up? How much? £10? £1,000? £10,000? Everything you possibly can. What are you basing this on? Tactical analysis of 13 players v squads of 25 or 20 prem players with goals throughout their front players or blind faith?
