Wasn't you there Wednesday to see Ibrahimovich's pathetic attempt ?

Because he's just signed a new deal and Parish and him have some sort of mutual admiration society. The moment we finally win another game they'll be both all over the media again having a massive love in and off we go again.

We played well today so you're timings poor. If you can't see a difference between now and the Liverpool game them I don't blame parish for ignoring you as will most fans.

Long time lurker, first time poster...

Playing Devil's advocate (and I must stress I am as unhappy with anyone else about our dismal run)....

When Pardew was offered the large contract extension, it must have been in the back of the boards mind that he may get offered the England job, and as such wanted to protect what was at the time a valuable asset.

In hindsight, this didn't happen. However, had it not happened, and had he been offered the England job and left without us getting any compensation, the loud members of the current "Pardew out" brigade would be berating the board for not forward thinking.

I've drunk too much to delve in to get the facts and figures here, but lets assume they were to sack Pardew now.

They would have to dig deep to afford a large pay off, this is after investing a fair amount (yes I know not much by some club's standards) in new players over the summer.

A replacement for Pardew won't come cheap. I imagine Big Sam (realistically the replacement most likely) is probably sat on a beach somewhere and wouldn't want to take over a job like this unless he was paid very well for it.

Does a new manager guarantee survival? No.

Sacking Pardew, paying him off and paying big bucks to get someone else in would be very bad news if we go down.

It's a gamble either way essentially.

Football is a business and those calling for his head need to realise it isn't quite as easy as that. It's quite possibly the biggest decision in our history.

Just an idea. I don't know the answer.

These idiots walking out and booing though is daft. One of the things that makes me so proud to be a part of this club is the spirit of our support- something that has captured the focus of the whole country, other fans and media alike. It's such a shame to be losing it because of a few fools. Thick and thin and all that. We'll bounce back whatever happens. We always do.

Not AP's fault - Townsend is seriously underperforming for us, and worse than that really doesn't appear to give a sh*t/be playing for the shirt. A really infuriating player, who appears to have no backbone or conscience.

Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it..

Right watched Palace for nearly 50yrs now this is the best board, squad I have seen in all that time. So Alan has with the boards support took over when we were struggling to get a toe hold in the division and has gone on to respectable league places and an FA cup appearance.
I watched the Chelsea game with my arsenal supporting partner. As a 3rd party she was able to given balanced view which is: Palace play as a committed team together nobody was a passenger all were working for the cause including the crowd, manager, team that came up against a quicker more talented squad of players. Note nothing was laid against anyone. So please be aware we are not a rich club like Chelsea,man u,arsernal etc etc so please if you haven't got any constructive to say think long and hard before bleating we ain't no good and its all somebody else's fault because it isn't its just football.
