Ouch !

Now that is a stupid thing to say.

I don't mind being disliked or disagreed with but to say that what I wrote earlier does not contain any valid points is absolutely idiotic. I have a lot of time for many of my adversaries, but I have no respect for you if you cannot even engage in a reasoned debate.

I really do think that most of these so called reporters make stories up just to fill spaces in their papers. They put two and two together and come up with 12 in some cases it's just sensationalism. If this report was true why is the Sunday mirror the only paper to print this article. If this was a story that had any creditability wouldn't other reporters be spreading this news.

Well, obviously that's me told.

By the way, how can anyone have an opinion about anything that isn't shaped by personal experience? Of course, when I weigh up what is happening at Palace (which, in the end, is just a business that is run by human beings like any other business), I turn to my own experience to interpret things. I mean what the hell else are you supposed to do?

I refer to my experience in my posts occasionally not because I want to talk about myself, but because I want to explain to the reader what my experience is, and why it leads me to the conclusions it does. I think that is relevant. I'm middle-aged, moderately successful, have followed Palace for almost 40 years, and I think there is some substance (or I hope there is) to what I write. If you find me dull or self-obsessed, then so be it, but I am using the examples I use out of respect for the reader...so that agree or disagree they can see that I have reached my conclusions based on something real; I'm not just letting off steam.

I would say there is something about me that clearly irritates you just, ironically, as there is something about Parrish that clearly irritates me. But you are being quite unreasonable in your criticism above and far less honest than I am. Even I have given Parrish credit where it is due.

Again, it's all about you.

You've spelt Parish's name wrong again, please come clean, is that mean to wind me up?

On another thread I've just read, you say "succinct is best", I wish you would adhere to that as I find most of your posts long winded and boring but Willo loves ya, so all is cool

Pulis' job is to keep us in the Premier League and Parish's is to keep us within our budget restrictions. The transfer window tests both of these and I'd be surprised if there weren't a bit of tension. That is ok as long as a working relationship is maintained and so far I have not read or heard anything to suggest that has broken down but the next 2 weeks are big if we want to stay in the Premier league.

The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years
