this is a bit like 'if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all'. there's a reason that line belongs to a talking cute bunny in a Disney film, mate. You can try twist my words all you want, but it's not like that at all. There's a difference between constructive criticism and booing. Constructive criticism from last season came from Steve Parish, Sam Allardyce and Sammy Lee, and guess what - it worked. Are you really that naive to believe that booing makes players on £40k+ a week go: "You know, I really haven't been performing week in, week out. I must try harder." I know we can't offer constructive criticism, but is it really necessary to boo? You have to be either a moron, or delusional, or both, to believe any of the performances have been satisfactory this season. They know, and that is a fact. I don't think people booing makes them think "Maybe that just wasn't good enough."

It's embarrassing to think I stand along side such ignorant, stupid people on the terraces. I used to think we, as Palace supporters were better than this, but we're not, so many on here are behaving like spoilt children bleating about their entitlement. I really wish this breed of fan would just f*** off to arsenal where they will happily be welcomed with open arms

For me, football has to do a lot with negative feelings as well and not keeping them in. I don't require a lot to be content with the team, and I'm not getting anything at the moment. I don't even think we need to sack FDB, and I wasn't too upset with the goals, mistakes such as Kelly's happen. But the attitude and ineptitude of some of the players require a reaction.

I hope that Frank will use the Liverpool and Swansea match recordings to show the players what is wanted. Against Liverpool the bus was parked and in spite of 70% possession Liverpool only got one goal. The trouble is that the team seems to build on previous good work, and it appears that the team went out perhaps thinking that 30% possession is the way to play. When we got two ball players in the middle (personally would have put on Lee then Cabaye leaving scope for a game changing third substitution. Once Leer and Cabaye were on the sweetness of the Palace play was a joy to watch. Please can we fans see our team start a match aiming for three in first twenty minutes? COYP Lee and Cabaye added something but Swansea sat off us after the 2nd goal, so its hard to say to what extent we really improved. We made a few good passing moves against a relaxed Swansea under little pressure.

We have every right to boo. We must be the longest suffering fans in English football. In the last two seasons we have barely seen our team win. It is incredible how poor we are at home considering the support the team gets. We go their in hope now more in expectation

Still, for the entitled ones who've paid their money and think that entitles them success, they might be interested to know they get a discount on entry to Bromley.
Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. |
