Physio room still show's him as being injured and its usually pretty accurate

Hope that's the case and he proves to be the answer to our problems as I liked what I saw in his few games.

I'm hoping we win every game. What makes it tough is Pardew's crap signings. With respect, the bloke really
isn't a world class keeper. For whatever reason he has been cack.

With respect, I don't think 9 games at a Pardew Palace really gives you sufficient grounds to definitively say he is crap. The alternative is Hennessey, I know who I'd rather between the sticks every day of the week.

We're the Arthur over ere!

I honestly don't understand that fascination with Steve mandanda. Yes he has a quality reputation in France but in the 9 games his played for us he's been average at best. What you also got to remember mandanda yet to learn English and if his was willing to settle in England. Speaking the language surely top of the list. He won't be our goalie next season whatever division. Hennessy kept consecutive clean sheets and will be the number 1 until the end of the season. I'm not a Hennessy fan but can understand why he's picked as he has the statue of a prem goalie also he no longer working with Andy Foodman.

Looking at the numbers Steeeeeve played 9, won 3, drew 2, lost 4 with 17 goals conceded. 11 points

Hennessy's first 9 this season were won 1, drew 1, lost 7 conceding 17. 4 points

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

It has nothing to do with fascination. He played 9 games, WH has had years to prove he's the business and has pretty much failed at every attempt, terrible GK in my opinion. Whether Mandanda turns out to be amazing for us or not is yet to be seen but I honestly cannot see how Hennessey would be better than Frances no.2. Palace fans generally have this weird tendency to just write off players/managers and start witch hunts for no particular reason, usually after very few games, yet players and managers such as Henessey and Pardew can Cock up time after time and not face any real scrutiny until it's physically impossible for there deficiencies to go unnoticed by everyone. All I'm saying is this "Steve out" bandwagon is pretty sad and pathetic, don't remember anyone saying anything other than positive words when we signed him but after 9 games under Pardews leadership, our chief scouts are out in full force to report the guy isn't good enough and apparently Wayne Hennessey is a much better option.
