So the club has said they won't play him because he refused to play in the pre-season (I can only accept that truth til I hear otherwise) and now... they haven't played him. What is his point? Would also love to hear what he has to say about the game now too. What would he have done differently in goal that would've improved on the clean sheet?

I tend to agree.

It's a shame because the old boy hasn't been a bad keeper for us, but I sincerely hope he now finds a pre-retirement job back home in Spain. He's finished at Palace as far as I'm concerned.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

No longer part of the squad according to the website. Must have taken a late Ryanair flight from Gatwick last night.

Nor should we, mods, please move to football talk, we have four other keepers to worry about.

Is a shame. I thought he did well for us when we needed a decent keeper too and seemed a quiet, reserved character.

Therefore all seems very strange for him to leave in such circumstances without even a farewell apparently.

I won’t lose any sleep over it, but the whole affair seems bizarre. If the worst of rumours were to be true I’d be inclined to say ‘good riddance’.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
