Crystal Palace FC Thread + Premiership Palaver

[Ant040689]

I wouldn't look at the possession stats too closely either. They were often dilly dallying with it at the back or across the midfield with a lack of intent. I believe we only had 27% of the possession all game but if you see the highlights tonight, you would be wondering how we couldn't at least have scored one.

BBC possession stats are always wrong.

Have a word Man City.

[Ant040689]

Have a word Swansea, both are piling pressure on Palace by not winning here!

[Royal Flush]

So cute

So cute

We are gonna look less cute when Karanka comes in and gets 4 wins from 4

chosen the mighty middlesbrough

Don't really get that from Karanka

Surely as long as Palace board let him know that he won't get sacked if they go down and it's a long term project then Palace is a better option with parachute money and living in London?

[Ant040689]

Rene Meulensteen is favourite, just atm, with Dan Petruscu a close second.

Redic how many guys have alternated being favourite for this job. I hope through all of this our caretaker can have a pop of being in charge for at least another month, Keith Millen that is. Has us playing with a great spirit, generally defensively sound and is doing his best to try and coax one of our forwards into finishing form.

He spent most of his life in the basque region and playing career, it is not quite Boro but it is very industrial and i doubt London made much appeal to him

Also he is represented by Jorge Mendes (who isnt) who is very good mates with Steve Gibson and of course Jose's agent as well.

Boro have miles better training/infrastructure than Palace do infact better than a few Premiership sides.

I very much doubt he is short of a few quid was on big money at Madrid as a player then coach/assistant.

Some people don't like London though, I lived there for 18 months (2011-2012) and I hated it. Will never live there again.

Boro also have a much nicer stadium, and facilities. Palarse will have a much greater budget, but it will always be on his CV that his first season he got relegated. Palarses team also isn't good enough to challenge top 2 in the championship as it is.

He'll also be able to have regular Parmo's up there. Best food I've had in a football ground when I went up there

[Royal Flush]

Wonder what price Palace are for back to back relegations?

Meulensteen has just joined Martin Jol at Fulham, so Petrescu the hotpot again now.

How many games has Millen been in charge for so far?

Any likelihood they let him crack on until January and bring someone in for the transfer window?

Or just do an Oyston and keep him there until the window closes, so that they don't have to do any dough

[The Camel]

When I need my daily chuckle I go to oddschecker to see who today's 5/4 shot for the Palace job is.

November 13th - Dan Petrescu!

Rene Meulensteen is favourite

Gone to Fulham :p
