The Football.....

I was cycling in Kilmarnock today, I saw this chap hanging about near Rugby Park.

Ambition beyond ability. Killie have neither, he might do.

Sober for October was going so well......I should have known better than to go and watch Everton on current form.

Looking at that today, I wondered at one point if the players were doing to Koeman what they did to Martinez, and what Chelsea's did to Mourhino. Rumours abound about him alienating them. Apart from the first 20 minutes, some of the aimless balls, lacklustre play and lack of movement was startling.

Worryingly, with the players at his disposal, I can't see things changing much before January and by then we could well be in a serious relegation scrap. Big Sam might be the man to call then, never mind the Ancelotti pipe dream.

Ancelotti has a picture of Dixie Dean on his wall, you know... Stan Collymore tweeted that this evening, so it must be true

A promotion for Unsie, perhaps?

However disappointed you are with your team's start to the season, just be glad you don't support Crystal Palace.

Like the mate who I am seeing in the morning

I'd fancy Palace to beat Everton right now.

On current form, that encounter is likely to be the dullest 90 minutes since Lost In Translation came out.**










**104 minutes, in fact, but knowing our luck the ref would add on 14 minutes of stoppage time.

That is truly awful. Seriously, not a goal in, what, 7 or 8 games???

Saving themselves for Chelsea.

TMN me.

Ah...yes. That'll teach me to read to the end of the thread before responding.

I have relatives (one whole family of seven) who are die-hard Palace fans and they are still gloating about the miserable result in April last season.

Can't blame them really.

Trouble at mill, quite looking forward to Championship or whatever Sky or other sponsors have named it. I do believe the problem runs a bit deeper than just the team issues though. Never have I ever seen such a disjointed collection of players played in the wrong position or just plain not really up to Premiership Standard. Not so bad if you have just been promoted in to the Kingdom but we have been in the cash cow for 4/5 years, wtf.

Worse still they do not even play as a team, so the sum of the parts is even less than the individual talent!

If I were a Palace fan now I'd be aiming to go the entire season without a point or a goal. Going down with 11 or 12 points is just miserable, achieve a complete duck and you're world famous with an unassailable record.

Bring it on!

 

[Vapin' Joe]

Leave off, there are European places to be aimed for.

The only way Palace will get into Europe is if they enter the song contest.

Beautifully trolling the Daily Ranger:

Probably a good move for them. Can't make up my mind whether he's a good guy or a fiddle.

Edit: Fiddle, ha, that should be in the patter thread.

It's international football, what were you expecting ?

For some reason it's on STV.

Not that I'm watching.

International breaks are a blight on the season.
