Off to the Liverpool Rovers match love to know who picked 5.30 kick off midweek as a good time half the people I work with had to take time off.

No WC players but likes of Agger Skrtel Allen Coutinho Lucas and Borini and the great Aspas have made the trip.

I guess it comes down to how much Madrid want Suarez ....how much would they have to pay?

Arsenal really have to spend this summer if they want to compete for the championship,if they don't they may well just find themselves out of the top four.
I think they could do with two strikers never mind one.

I can only hope for one ‘miracle’ at a time in releasing funds from the Arsenal war chest.

Heck, not only would I like them to add a 2nd world class striker but also a strong defensive midfielder the likes of Roy Keane or Patrick Vieira from past days of glory.

It hurts seeing Fabio playing for you lot.

He should come home.

Two amazing footballers but not sure how many matches they would get in the modern game,especially Keane,he'd be shown way too many red cards.

Someone like Yaya Toure would be fantastic,not only for being a strong defensive midfielder but great going forward also....he's the kind of player I would want in my team these days.

Rodgers rates him with Champions League this year he will get another chance but he's playing back up to Suarez and Sturridge.

A permanent switch to Sunderland is more than just a possibility.

TP fully deserves the award.

When he took over from Ollie, Palace looked dead and buried.

The job TP and the team have done is nothing short of remarkable.

Well, I hope so because we love him. Mr cool in so many high-pressure games and he gave us that wembley goal which I will never forget. Think I ended up in the row in front of me celebrating that.

Disagree. I do think he has done a great job but Poyet should have won it. Pulls just parks the bus and like I said before it's far easier to set up a team not to lose rather than go out to get wins.

Anyway, I won't make this point anymore as I have said it enough!

Probably starting to bore people.

Gus Poyet has also worked wonders in keeping you lot up, especially considering the mess you were in and where you were when he arrived at the club.

But for me, TP deserved it more, simply because Palace would have been expected to go down, and in staying up, they have basically defied the odds and turned most people's expectations of them upside down.

Not convinced about Wickham yet mate. He scored some crucial goals but long term, not sure.

1 point from 8 games when poyet took over. Not to mention 12 signings that put us in a mess. Plus a cup final and fa cup quarter final? Respectfully disagree with you 100 percent mate.

What do you think your clubs prospects are for next year? You fancy promotion?

What I meant was things were even worse before he came in, and most people believed you lot were dead and buried, but hey it's ended how you wanted it to.

I know things didn't start well under Poyet, but they did get better, and ultimately, you have stayed up.

Always fancy promotion...only problem is it never happens.
