Mate, I don't get these posts. I understand where you are coming from, but I don't get what pleasure you get from supporting Palace with that attitude.

We have been the worst team in the Premiership before and we stayed up. We probably weren't the third best team in the Championship the season we got promoted, but we did. Arguably we were worse than Newcastle last year and we finished above them. On these occasions, it was the supporters at Selhurst that apparently made the difference.

I don't accept that we are even favourites to be relegated yet, we are definite candidates for relegation but we are not so certain to go down that we should start selling our best players.

I am all for realism, but this blind pessimism is not helpful. We didn't hire Sam to give up a few weeks later, if we had we may as well have stuck with Pardew and enjoyed being on the wrong end of five, seven of nine goal thrillers. At least we would have seen goals.

if we do go down then there is no certainty we will come back up any time soon, so you would be better off screaming the boys on and savouring the rest of the season rather than crying into your keyboard.

So can you please get a grip.

Yes, the home record v Fortress Selhurst is a bit of a conundrum

Yes, the operative word is "apparently", however, the point still stands that we can choose to criticise everything that the club and all who sail in her do, and make our (potentially) last few months in the premiership for a generation an absolute torture, or we can not.

We are a long way from a fire sale of our best players.

Good job season ticket holders won't be thinking like this or we'd be f***ed.

It's support the club time, not pretend we know more than Merson et al on Sky Saturday and want it to be so to claim super knowledge which is won by fine margins if we give ourselves a chance.

Well said. Pretty much what I wanted to say in a couple of paragraphs.

Could we though? We need to be building on what we have and, at worst selling fringe players. We are not in a position where a line of quality footballers will be queueing round the block to join us. Plus there's just 12 days left.
