Or seeing us lose 2-4 at home in the FA Cup to an Amateur team and again the next year 1-3 albeit away. The moaning and whinging of some people on here is pathetic especially as we are in the top league and well out of the relegation zone yet again Edited by PZ Eagle (14 Apr 2019 6.19pm)

Some people actually think we played well! Palace fans have no football intelligence. Park the bus = ROY GOOD. Forget all the times the block was opened up with ease and the aids we served up in possession, we defended all game so we must have played well. What's the point in setting up like that anyway? We're safe, what's the worst that can happen, the team try and give City a real game but lose instead of participating in a training session? The fans get the entertaining football we (some of us) crave to make sure we renew our season tickets after prices went up? We finish 14th instead of 13th? no wonder Hodgson is still here. Wouldn't happen at Spanish clubs, their fans would have the white hankies out. Bring on the cultural revolution where technical ability is valued over a loser mentality

Well I for one do not want us to be relegated but that is not the same as being happy to escape relegation each season. Of course it would be nice to finish in the top six each season but for us with a ground capacity of only 25,000 it ain't gonna happen. Sometimes in life you have to accept your limitations and accept what you have is much much better than the alternative ie the Championship.

Sounds like you're in the same camp as Maine Eagle. You don't mind the possibility of getting relegated as long as we are playing '' more adventurous '' football.

No shame in losing to City. However, I think the performance is indicative of our home form. Gary Neville was spot on with his comments that we defended too deep and didn't go out to close down the city midfield. They almost had the freedom of Selhurst to try and pick out a pass, we just tried to cut it out. Sooner or later we were going to get punished. Why Van Aanholt didn't go with Sterling for the first goal is beyond me, PVA isnt exactly slow. That being said Sterling took it really well, didn't give Guiata a chance. I thought Palace looked more creative when Meyer came on. Whilst he may not be effective away from home, I wonder if he should be used from the start at home more. Benteke isn't a lost cause, but needs play in a 4-4-2 formation. 4-3-3 doesn't work for him. Gary Neville had a disastrous time as coach at Valencia and I’d trust Roy over him and his silly gimmicks on Sky.
