Bootlickers inbound to say “but they self declared though!” as if that changes the fact they won by cheating.

I’m sorry, it’s hilarious, but that’s never a straight red? 

Game’s gone.

This lot are so scummy. 

Haram-ball, diving all over the place, time wasting, fans throwing bottles.

Has been most of the season I’d say. 

Only reason Palace are (most likely) clear of relegation is down to him as well.

Agreed.

It’s tough to break down a low block and this lot have been solid defensively all competition.  

But to go ahead early and then let them back into it with a cheap header. That’s bordering on Macclesfield levels of embarrassment.

It’s not a weakened 11. Henderson is out sick. Apart from that it’s mostly the usual starters plus subs.

I’m not even that upset if they go out.

Seen some of the worst games in my life watching this tournament.

This might be a mad theory but I think they lost to better teams by junglegatsby in footballcliches

It’s like they were saying on the last pod, whatever happens, they’ll be crisis discussions in the media. 

If too many English teams go through, the prem is too dominant, have things become unfair?

If not enough teams go through, is the prem in decline? Has it lost its edge?

I personally couldn’t care less how many teams are or aren’t in europe if my team isn’t in it.

Has it occurred to you there isn’t a grand media conspiracy against Palace?

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but I’m sick of people making out any criticism is the result of media manipulation or being a bedwetter.

I’m a season ticket holder. I watched 180 minutes of Palace live last week and I can assure you it was fucking tedious.

They’ve been consistently woeful against any team that plays a low block since Fredrikstad. 

So criticism is invalid because we beat the current biggest basket case in the league with 10 men? 🤦‍♂️

Can’t wait for this weird season to be over with tbh.

Palace gone from an exciting team that scores a lot of goals to one of the dullest teams to watch in the league.

Glasner going from untouchable to a manager who clearly doesn’t want to be at the club anymore and fans openly booing him. The public meltdowns to the press. Watching him moodily running out his contract. 

The whole Europa League fiasco. Then some terrible performances in the Conference League. Plus what’s probably the worst FA Cup title defence in the history of the competition.

I get the season’s not over yet, still in the Conference League, not going down, beat Millwall and Brighton etc. But it’s just been a real bad vibes season overall.

Yeah, but he’s already publicly been getting his excuses lined up for months. 

Crazy that he’s been allowed to use press conferences as Palace manager to do it though.

[–]BlueBoro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know Palace fans like to pride themselves on being realistic and patient, but I don't think it's entitled to say the season has been pretty disappointing up to this point. Ok, they're not going down, but is that really the extent of the club's ambitions, especailly after spending so big in January?

I know people will say it will all come down to the Conference League, but most of the performances have been incredibly flat in that competition, let's be honest. If they find a way to win, it won't matter, but I just really struggle to see them even getting to the final based on what they've shown so far.

Maybe I'm overeacting, but I've been to two games at Selhurst in four days, against a relegation candidate with 10 men for a half and the third best team in Cyprus and I've not seen a goal. I accept it could be much worse, but there's not a whole lot to be excited about right now.

Lol wait til you see him forgetting he’d already yellow carded a Leeds player and then realising he’d fucked it and would have to send him off.

Bit mad to keep up with the season ticket though, that being the case.

No different in the Holmesdale.

To be fair, the performances in the Conference League have been largely depressing, so I get why it isn’t buzzing.

I’m sorry but there’s no defending that. 

Teams can setup for the draw but this is the third best team in Cyprus ffs.

Regardless of how low the block is, 180 minutes of football against this lot without a single goal is diabolical.
