Gene, it's a bit rich trying to take the moral high ground and trying to act all mature after when you've just called my a peado. Even more so when you deleted the post straight afterwards.

I bet space on your pencil case is hard to come by.

Well, that was subtle.

I was going to tape that and send it to Bumfights.

Aye, I know he's ex-palace but his wanting to go there does speak volumes about the state of our club.

Just thought of another one: Rusty Lee

He could've held onto him if he'd wanted to. The owner clearly saw the appeal in getting a decent wedge for compensation. That was the whole idea of giving him the 8 year contract anyway (as he'd just win manager of the year). His payoff wasn't his full contract if he got the bullet though.

Probably a combination of less pressure and more money. Ex-player as well. The latter being less of a factor

Ben Arfa will be pleased I'm guessing this means pedro wasn't interested in the job, which was always what I'd heard in the past, ie the academy bring the limit of his ambition.

Slight overreaction there

Not sure how Palace being willing to pay the compensation for Pardew makes some people assume the club sale could be imminent. Don't see the link myself. I think it's just Ashley pouncing on an opportunity to make a bit of money.

Look man, apart from being an idiotic ignoramus you resent the way someone has actually done something incredibly brave and selfless. You've never done anything that courageous and you never will. Neither will I but at least I dint need to sneer at those who have to try and make myself feel better about that. And save the faux concern about the jocks for someone who doesn't know what a racist you are, eh?

The only thing I would say to that is can you honestly hand on heart say there's a single move made by Ashley in respect of managerial appointments / sackings that you you or anyone else who wasn't itk could've called in advance? I think it's absolutely impossible to predict what he might do based on past experience. I do tend to think he'll appoint from within the club on short term basis though (ie until the summer). I base that on there being well over 3 sides worse than us and the decent amount of points (from a survival point of view) that we already have in the bank. I reckon that'll be how Ashley looks at it. Who knows with him though?

Should be 'match' rather than 'game'

It's a bit like with Ashley, ie the notion we should be thankful to have such a 'prudent' owner. Let's see if his involvement with Rangers gets a similar portrayal.

Alf Garnett back from the dead

If he's been doing as good a job as the media keep telling us deluded Geordies then how come the first job offer he's had is a desperate Crystal Palace (especially when you consider how long he's been here)?

That'll show them

That's the back room team

No argument from me. I just can't listen to it though. Most shows seem to be hosted by fuckwits getting even bigger fuckwits annoyed enough to phone in. A lot of 5Live isn't a great deal better like

Selena Scott was canny mind

People say he didn't lose the dressing room because of the resilience shown by that good run but what does the shit form of the last two years say about the players' feelings towards him? Because we definitely had players capable of performing better than that over that period.

Aided by how fucking ugly 95% of people on local to were back then. She was going up against Pam Royle's Pat Sharpe mullet and Wincy Willis

Cathy Secker on the other hand...
