More encouraging. It's difficult to have much faith in this team though.

Alright but one of those is CT. I mean, come on. I think honestly, most people are worrying about us not getting promoted. Gpirlo probably just said that straight after the match in frustration. Yes I know that means you're technically right anyway. Git.

I bet you already own 2...

I don't think anyone is saying we'll go down... Brighton apparently lost only 5 games last year and failed to get promoted. We've already lost two. We need to get our act together.

House abandoned based on the story trajectory when we last heard it

you arent wrong Ant.

Fair shout, will have a look myself.

Not exactly a great start is it though? Where do you think our form is going to come from exactly? Mitro perhaps might focus the attack I guess.

Odds?

Aye it looks like there's a fair few Palace fans saying we were right on the Guardian's match report. The fact that their complaints about Pardew are absolutely identical to ours says it all. If people only fucking listened to us

Nudged back on front of China again...

I'd take Hughes easily, but it looks like we've no interest sadly.

I bet that's not too far from the truth, either.

Have we given up on Shelvey then? I agree he's no holding midfielder but I thought he looked ok in the playmaking role at times last season.

Did they trace it back to the Firestick then? You must have actually gone up the chain somewhat to get that level of scrutiny on what happened.

Good on you for taking it in your stride and apologising to them.

wtf? The firestick did it?

They just pulled back ahead

I'll scan the Chinese newspapers if it sticks - I reckon there'll be an inquiry into how they've failed and that China expects better, etc.

China will be fucking seething about this In mentality they're like the mackems of the international community.

We're doing really well in the medals table... not far off China now and third by some margin. Is that just because half of Russia was disqualified though?

I'm going optimistic in the poll for this one out of desperation. Also, I have a vague hope that the defeat yesterday will have shaken some sense into them.

I think it is must win. I think it's fucking ridiculous to say that so early in the season but ffs. We're starting as poorly as we do in the PL.

So I'm now 50:50 on us being promoted. I get that the team 'needs to gel' or whatever, but honestly, I didn't think we'd be losing at home to Huddersfield. We're continuing in much the same vein as we were.
