At the beginning of last season I posted a warning on here about how good teams become toxic. It works like this.

The fans get ideas above beyond the teams capabilites
A couple of signing don't perform
You get a few injuries
You go on a bad run
You sack a manager
Replace him with a worse manager
The team become toxic and falls apart.

We were never thrashed under Pardew but always advocated that we should check who is available before sacking him.

That's a awful performance against Watford, Arsenal, Swansea, Bolton and now West Ham.

That's on the back of a 3-3 away draw, a 3-0 win and then narrow defeats to Man U and Chelsea.

We have certainly regressed and I can't see that we have the manager, players, or funds to turn this around.

In a heartbeat. That team was poor as well at times but had grit, fight and believe. This lot has lazy, sulky overrated arseholes.

Benteke - sell him or swap him. Another overrated player in a game full off them.

Townsend - overrated, lazy and bit crap.

Punch - get rid. Useless.

Cabaye - crap and has been since coming here.

Hennessey - back up keeper at best and that is me being kind.

Deleney - done (sad but true)

Ward - Left back isn't for him.

Kelly - crap

Wolferine - West Ham reject and can see why.

Ledley - crap overall. Average at his best.

Bruce Lee - crap.

Could go on but no point. Going down and clear out...start again.

Aw well. If do stay up clear out and start again...oh well.

It is LOL though in a way. Palace and the self destruct button is always there in the background isn't it??

Two poor teams, Swansea and now West Ham, have done the double on us. Palace are now the team everyone looks forward to playing/beat.

Hardly ever outplayed until he started to really put his mark on the team.

The first 5 months were Pulis's team.

Then the nose dive started about Xmas last year and it wasn't getting better - it was getting worse.

There was this idea we were fluent and expansive - no we had Zaha and Bolasie who were pulling teams apart. Neither of whom were signed by Pardew. Sako and Townsend were though.......

As I said you can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter. it is still a turd.

agree. ive defended them most of the season, but i cant defend the indefensible any more. they are a f***king disgrace. should be ashamed of themselves.

a rich man is only a poor man with an obscene amount of money

With big Sam not only are the points not coming but the goal difference is getting very quickly eroded, but don't worry he will keep us up just like Sunderland. Maybe not Sunderland are professional at fighting relegation.
