    Time to start doing Business Steve..!!

    Of course! Nothing to do with the previous managers and players whatsoever, let alone the current crop who had the audacity to win a couple of trophies. All Saint Steve's good work you see...

    Time to start doing Business Steve..!!

    The demotion can't have anything to do with it. If anything Parish should have recognised the need to sign / loan a couple of players to encompass the extra games a campaign in Europe would entail, particularly given the likelihood of Eze and / or Guehi moving on. I've said it before, Steve...

    Time to start doing Business Steve..!!

    It's ironic that Parish went through all that trouble with UEFA just to prove that he was blameless and the club have been wronged blah blah blah when the truth is we do not have a squad capable of competing effectively in both the Premiership and Europe, and surely he knows this. We would have...

    Crystal Palace vs. Fredrikstad match thread

    I sure Glasner did his due diligence before he signed up for the manager's role and knew the history of Parish and previous managers. The thing is Glasner is his own man and has high standards. Can Parish keep up?

    Farewell Eze?

    Dry your tears. When Eze is sat on the Arsenal bench you will realise that this was a shrewd move. When the money comes along, you can't refuse it, but reinvest it wisely. The spine of the side is still intact, I'd be much more concerned should a couple of them move on in the same season.

    Farewell Eze?

    Aside from Glasner's excellent mentoring, I should add that Eze wouldn't be the player he has turned out to be without his teammates, particularly Olise, and more recently Mateta and Sarr. Mateta in particular has carried the load allowing Eze that extra room to operate in. Whether the set up...

    Farewell Eze?

    Add Henderson to that list. £60m or whatever has been quoted is good money for an over rated player. Glasner helped bring him along to where he is now through a mix of tactical astuteness and skilful man management, Arteta doesn't have the same qualities imho.

    Marc Guéhi

    Manchester United paid £50m for AWB ha ha! We did well out of that deal.

    Palace interested in signing Hwang Hee Chang.

    To keep Nketiah company?

    Time to start doing Business Steve..!!

    How? By having a top notch scouting outfit, identifying quality under the radar players. Then you employ a manager with his own idea of how the game is played, and then you go out and compete. And that is what we did last season! Forest didn't win s***, so it's not all about money, a lot of...

    Eze to spurs?

    There are times he should keep his mouth shut, but he does like being in the spotlight and the attention that follows.

    Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace match thread

    Furthermore... when the opposition place a wall in front of the kicker, have the equal amount of players stand 1m in front of them. I presume this is ok. Then feigning to shoot pass the ball quickly out wide and from there put a hard low cross into the box which will be met by your players that...

    Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace match thread

    I would like to see free kicks taken quickly before the wall has a chance to form. It seems to me that the side that committed the initial foul gets to impose the criteria upon how the following play is implemented. If I recall correctly Thierry Henry once scored from a quickly taken free kick.

    Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace match thread

    Taking into consideration all that has been said, one must conclude that VAR should have not have got involved and the goal should have stood. What recourse does any club have for such a scenario, that is, referees and VAR assistants who do not know or knowingly do not follow the rule book?

    Farewell Eze?

    Late on Eze went for glory when he should have laid it off to a team mate - OG substituted him for it. Discuss.

    Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace match thread

    A point away to the world champions on the opening day of the season, yes that will do nicely! The team looked solid and unfazed by the opposition and endless media rumour and speculation. Only thing to say about the disallowed goal is will we see this "rule" consistently applied throughout the...

    Eze to spurs?

    Eze can go to Spurs, while the hype machine is rolling it's time to cash in! Personally I find him a tad over rated, he can't tackle or header, takes a terrible penalty and goes missing in games. Inconsistent. Clubs pay for consistency, and should we get a sizable fee for him then Spurs fans...

    Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

    If was just a matter of the club submitting an email address for communication and then not viewing incoming emails then Parish is indeed a clown (him being chairman and all) for pursuing action against UEFA. Is it really down to such a simple administrative error?

    Time to start doing Business Steve..!!

    I read today some hype nonsense mentioning Real Madrid and Wharton. The piece managed to suggest that Wharton was a replacement for Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. I chuckled to myself.
