    Many people on here would be really bad with the parts of quizzes where you have to name people from photos. That is not Mitrovic nor Costa and the other guy is definitely not Jay Rodriguez!

    Yeah **** that.

    Cleverly was a non entity until Sherwood came. To be fair to Sherwood he was good after that. Manager bounce or whatever. That's my memory of it anyway.

    This is where I'm at.

    I don't think this is true at all. We had one or two good players, but the team as a whole was awful. Richards/Lescott were both liabilities. Gestede was not a prem striker. I remember Richards being responsible for half our goals conceded by November. I've forced myself to forget everything else. The point I'm trying to make though is that we had a bad team with one or two good players. That's the first parallel I'd make to this season. This season we had to buy a lot of players though just to have a squad—and even after all that we're still seeing the likes of Elmohamady, Taylor, Hourihane and Lansbury featuring—it was always going to be a big ask. Captain hindsight makes it easy to point fingers at the players we shouldn't have signed, but that's what Captain hindsight does. Losing McGinn hasn't helped at all.

    No.

    Then there was Petrov.

    It's always exciting when one of the Twitter posts starts to load up when you refresh on here. The wonder it may contain. I wish I had the discipline not keep checking transfer news.

    Some choice quotes from when we signed Mings last Jan: "I hope that 1m isbollocks personally its a crazy amount for a player who has hardly played for 6 months. I would prefer a loan deal for 18montha for that price" "Again I am questionning out scouting setuo." "Hope this is a pay per play deal!" "Surely a solid chance he'll fail a medical?" "Hoping we don't fudge this one through out of desperation....." "Big lad by the looks of it. Cant run by sounds of it. But neither could God" I don't know if I have a point, but I was interested to look. If I have a point it's that it's hard to predict how things would go. The Palace fans certainly don't seem to like him. He was out for a while though and it seems tough for anyone to get some form together when coming off the bench (I believe he started a couple of games around Christmastime).

    I'd be pretty excited tbh. Hope and optimism is always there at the start of things in football. It's what keeps us going surely. I know that doesn't mean it'd work out (at all), but as others have mentioned, he's still getting time with a decent Palace side—at the very least we need someone to hold the ball up well. And just imagine if he found half the goalscoring form he had with us back in the day.

    Oh well. He had a shit celebration. It fits Spurs though.

    So many words here but none of it seems to add up to reality. Easily get 10,000 Polish people? We need four strikers now just to have a fighting chance? The owners are either rich enough to persuade lewandowski to come in for a relegation battle on a six month loan or they're lying.

    We should have signed him in the summer. We needed to put a squad together. Why would he leave Burnley though and why would they sell him? He's only just rejoined his hometown club.
  15. praisedmambo
    @thabucks by nothing solid do you really mean nothing?
  16. praisedmambo
    He looks like a dick doing it.
  17. praisedmambo
    So you're saying the fans want a striker who scores loads of goals, has amazing reaction time and loads of pace? Who'd have thought! Should be ten a penny! Seriously though, if Giroud is still capable of playing at his level then there is no way we should turn our noses up at him. We do need experience and we do need a striker.
  18. praisedmambo
    He does this very well though. It's his major strength in my eyes. He definitely falls over too much, but that's a different issue.
  19. praisedmambo
    What do you base this second sentence on? 90% of a game against Wolves when we lost 2-1 and he barely made any saves, along with 15 minutes against Burnley where he made a good catch? Or half a season of the worst goalkeeping performances most of us have ever seen? I'm not saying it's not true and that behind a decent defence he won't be better, but I really have no idea why people have suddenly become so confident in him. EDIT: Also the Liverpool cup game. I don't remember how he was in that—some good saves, sure, but it's not really the game to be making opinions on.
  20. praisedmambo
    Just saying not a lot! Shall we compare his age to all the other older footballers still playing and who didn't throw the best part of their career away?
  21. praisedmambo
    I just had a look at Mee's challenge on Gomez. It seems identical. In the Gomez challenge the initial tackle is fine, but he twists his whole body unnecessarily in the exact opposite way to what would be natural and this is what traps Gomez's leg. It's brutal. Sergio Ramos-esque almost. What a dick.
  22. praisedmambo
    So...fine if effort is being made? Either way, nobody knows, so why focus on the negative?
  23. praisedmambo
    I can't get my head around a post like this. 'Could do a job' — he never did a job for us in a lower league and he constantly looked awful and way out of his depth. 'He would certainly fill a gap' — he literally is a gap. That's the best way of describing him on the pitch. How does anyone ever consider him an option?
  24. praisedmambo
    **** that.

    I think there was a would missing. Still, it's a little insight into how Villalad thinks!
