Notice how none of the experts criticizing AP have come up with a replacement. Fair enough to critique, as everyone is entitled to an opinion, but without offering up a solution it just comes across as mindless whining from people who think they know more than the bloke being paid to do the job.

Your the 3rd person to pull me on this without proving your point. ON PAPER being the main 2 words - please explain to me how they are significantly better than us. I.e. our strongest 11 vs there's and in comparison the individual ability is not that much better than ours. Never once did I say they weren't a much better side than us because they clearly are but ON PAPER they are not that superior at all, hence it being "the biggest shock in sporting history". God some of you think you're so exceedingly intelligent, read the original post I was replying to and understand the context.

We're the Arthur over ere!

So swap Ranieri with Pardew and we'd be champions, and Leicester will be the hopeless case of a football team that Palace apparently are? Is this really what you're saying?

I didn't say that though did I? You have stated that Palace have on paper a good as team as Leicester. So that only means the difference between Leicester and Palace are the managers? Would we be Champions if Ranieri was our manager?

Will Leicester be champions this season with Ranieri as there manager? No. Absolutely enormous achievement but it was an absolute freak that they won the league and it won't happen again.

You seem to forget the season before last they were fighting for there lives to stay up.

In response to anyone who says we don't appear when the team wins - your right, can't speak for the rest but I honestly don't see the point! You can't win, you can't have an opinion. My concerns are still there either way and just imagine how much I'd get slated for daring to say anything negative about pardew when we're actually winning a couple of games. I appear during the abysmal performances where we don't actually nick anything just to see if it's sinking in for anyone yet. His winning streaks don't make me all of a sudden think he's the man for the job and that's because I don't see his tactics as sustainable! When we won 3 in a row the smugness from people who told us "never ever be negative" was an utter joke! "Where are you pardew out brigade now" etc. As if all of us are sitting at home upset we won! It's not how it works, no matter how delusion some of you people are - I don't like Pardew, it's as simple as that but for the record I go to palace week in week out all over the country and I back them 100% and therefore feel I've earned the right to form whatever f***ing opinion I want on the manager.

I don't forget at all. I'm well aware where Leicester finished pre Ranieri. Also I'm aware that Leicester were extremely lucky with injuries and suspensions last season - a piece of luck that wasn't given out to Pardew last season. He has also recognised that the SQUAD isn't good enough and has already started the process to make it better - that doesn't happen overnight for a club like Palace.

We're all aware 2016 hasn't been a great calendar year in terms of results, but sometimes there is a little more to see than a result. Instead of stating the 5/31 games won, how about 34/79 games won? Might make you feel a little better.
