The man's football, approach, ideas, preparation, influence and long term handling of a squad are damn right risky and playing with our future. I care about being a soft touch right now. Not being able to hold a lead for 3 minutes. Not being able to defend a corner. Conceding from our own corners. Letting second rate players walk past us at will. Players not covering others, no communication, not enough defensive training, players wanting more defensive training week after the extra defensive training that failed at Swansea. Those are the things I care about right now, not the loser, settle what will be will be attitude of some our fans. I remember when some of us weren't happy with Freedman. 'Relegation? So be it' was the stance of the maturer and wiser amongst our fans. Soon after when DF was told to start using Zaha and bought Bolasie because it was about to probably be Zaha's last year we started brushing aside anyone who came in our way. We really do have some white flag wavers in our ranks. well I will be singing loud these next 2 games and I'd do anything to keep us up but that bloke is not a good thing to hang onto that you think. Edited by Rudi Hedman (12 Dec 2016 11.23pm) Admire the way still some fans defend Pardew. By the end of 2016 we might end up with 6(?) wins out of 40 PL games. That is 1 win in every 6,5 half game (2 wins in 13 games). And he's still here running probably one of the most talented teams ever to grace Selhurst Park in Eagles shirts. The time for leaving should have been weeks ago - after 8 or 10 in the net behind Wayne H the next 2 games the board must surely react. I still vote for Sam Allardyce...

Sadly that is being diluted by the week - his first 11 months were great - the last 12 months have been worse than bad - bar the FA Cup - which sadly masks everything else but statistically despite the fun that we had WE LOST THAT AS WELL!

I don't like the idea of Sam but by Xmas we will need a saviour and likely he is best equipped to do that job. The other alternative is to get relegated and rebuild which is what we will be doing if we sleepwalk onwards the way we are now.

Bill - you defend Pardew as much as I don't - debate is great and differing views make for an interesting debate. We have a difference of opinion but I hope more than anything that we win tomorrow night and again on Saturday and that Alan Pardew proves that he is a better Manager than I think he is. My probem is that I just don't see it - long term and bigger picture. also - I do not want Sam allardyce as our Manager but if we find ourselves in deeper doo doo by Xmas what choice will we have? That's all I meant.

Originally posted by Inapickle ..when he loses the players he has to go, at the moment the players cannot try harder for him, Gary Monk was the best up and coming manager in the Premiership, how they gave up on him during his first dodgy spell is quite unbelievable, he has got Leeds into the play offs already, a place that seemed a million miles away when he joined them. The unity and diehard attitude the players had has slowly slipped away. Its quite clear that the players are not intune with Pardew. You say they cannot try harder i totally disagree, they have let teams walk the ball into the net.

PS you two will still find fault.!! COYP. ALL Palace-fans would love to nick a point or three from MU, Chelsea and Arsenal! And in true Palace-style we might do it, but there's no way we longer can ignore the facts. 11 goals in own net from Burnley, Swansea & Hull - how can we march into pre-Xmas games with confidence in a manager who says smt like: "My teams don't do defensive training!" Alan P. also told us that the (American) owners know little about football. He should applaud that because if they had more knowledge he would have been out of the door several weeks ago.

Here's something to think about: if Pulis replaced Pardew today, would our defence be much better next match? I think it would. The Hull game was absolute crap. How many goals had Hull scored all season before that match? How many goals had they conceded before that match? That match was bollocks. Pardew can't do it and we could well be going down if we don't buy big time in January. Look at Gayle in the championship... or Murray... Pardew got the best out of them didn't he? not. And how was Townsend last season? Pardew is a joke. He'll get the owners to buy him players to get his cover his vain arse. [Link]

According to Mr Parish, Pardew wasn't referring to messrs Harris and Blitzer but some of the smaller investors, in fact he said that Blitzer had lived in this country for 10 years.Parish said it was a "Non-story". Some of course will believe him whilst others will conclude that he went beyond the facts !
