Also interesting to see how Crystal Palace went this time last season under Dougie's management...won their first round tie in the CoC cup, lost their next 3 league games and then crashed out of the CoC Cup to lower league opposition. They then went on an unbeaten run til November. http://www.cpfc.co.uk/fixtures-results/fixtures-list/ Edited September 3, 2013 by burndenpaddock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at who's bottom of the league in that table? Big surprise - Crystal Palace, proof that Doigie has always been a shitbag maniger.

fatty Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Oh for fucks sake, we've only just entered September and we are skint due to FFP and our inability to get finances to circumvent it like others. Turmoil is the last thing we need here. It's up to the manager to get the best out of his players during what is, on paper, an easier month. A point against Burnley looks reasonable in light of heir start, point against Reading fair enough. QPR always looked tough. I'd have expected us to get beat at Forest, leaving Blackburn as the one killer result in terms of poor result and performance. I'd add Tranmere, but we never give a shit about the cups. We have much the same team as last year, just need to get some luck and form. If things are still shit by mid-October, then I'll worry. Fantastic post.

Moderators Zico Posted September 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 3, 2013 just before a turbulent month or so. todd resigns, due to Frandsen sold against his wishes phil brown wins 4 out of 5? then Allardyce appointed yeah not sure if to think "could be worse", "we've been here before" or "we've gone backwards of late" then I forget all that and look at Stockport in 10th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 To be fair, if a new Chairman comes in then he won't have to abide the financial fair play rules. He can just make the excuse that nobody told him about it and he wasn't there at the time. The FA will probably be lenient with us given those circumstances and let us off. As will Eddie Davies and the banks. Foolproof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpool only had 14 fit players at the weekend and still beat Watford. In theory, the team we've got now is better than the one we had last season when we finished 7th. Forest finished below us and they've kicked on while we've gone backwards. I'm less concerned about 'turmoil' amongst the supporters than i am about the 'turmoil' in the dressing room. It doesn't matter whether we've got a better squad than other teams, if there's no team spirit. Ultimately that's down to the manager to sort out.

Traf Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Palace's first choice eleven from last season were far better than our current team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 How many other clubs were top 6 in the premiership playing in europe around 5 or 6 years ago then had a chairman appoint 4 bad managers, sanction the buying of a lot of shit on massives wages, take a half million pound bonus after relegation, upset the fans with his smarmy comments, have a house extention, full to get full value for cahill amongst others, manage to run up over 100 million pound in debts and now sit at the bottom of a shit league But didnt he get you into that position to start with ???
