I don't know where steedeel is i sent him a message but didn't hear anything and he has not been on here in a while now.

Geoff D · 08-17-2016, 10:03 PM

Heh. The two strikers that Palace have sold (Muzza and Gayle) have six goals between them so far, albeit in the Championship. And now I can understand why Liverpool are stalling on Palace's latest Benteke bid. They're not offering £30M up front (which 'pool would be mad not to accept IMO) but £23M plus £7M of add ons, one of which is dependent on Palace reaching the Champions League! They rightly told Palace to piss off

I hope nothing’s wrong.

As to thee Arsene, is he a member of the Board

? And if not

, has there been any talk of them hiring him on as a special consultant or such after his tenure as manager?

Continuing in the role of player acquisition?

*Our offer is on the table, take it or leave it, as we don’t need any new players that badly*

tob · 08-18-2016, 05:30 PM

When he retires i say the club will make him a ambassador at Arsenal or he could move on himself.

Geoff D · 08-20-2016, 05:56 PM

Ugh, another game, another narrow loss without scoring. Palace's dreadful 2016 continues while Hull have already got 6 points on the board and Burnley beat Liverpool to notch up a win. Shit.

Pizzamorg · 08-20-2016, 06:22 PM

Another infuriating game after a poor run pretty much since we won the title. A lack of consistent quality in front of goal continues to plague us and Clattenburg's refereeing was atrocious. Not sure why Musa and Gray started on the bench, I suppose only Ranieri will know, especially with the kind of form Vardy is in right now. Musa came on way too late to make a difference. It is a point but with everything going on in this season, playing for draws will have us relegated.

Geoff D · 08-20-2016, 10:54 PM

It's a shame the Olympics isn't on for the next 9 months, I've watched about 15 minutes of football on TV so far this season. Just couldn't give a shit about these overpaid tarts TBH and seeing as how wretched Palace's form continues to be anyway what incentive do I have? That's two wins in twenty-three league games. TWENTY FREAKING THREE. Oh, where's Steed to continously tell me that there's always someone worse off, that he'd give his right arm to be in our position etc etc. Missing you bud, wherever you are.

Tob, did you hear the post match interview following Arsenal v Leicester? The latest excuse for not taking advantage of the transfer market for the last few years is that Arsene has to consider the welfare of the 600 employees of the organization.

I did penton never heard such crap in my life its time to go.

"Consider the welfare of 600 employees." Now I've heard it all. Hahaha

gvortex7 · 08-24-2016, 09:40 PM

Another rough start to your season, huh tob? Seems like the same old song and dance. So what are the odds of Wenger actually stepping down this year?

Anyway when I saw the lineup for the German team, I didn't even watch the Men's Final from Rio.

Can't the fans organize some sort of mass exit during one of the matches in order to prove the point on TV if the stewards won't let them protest with banners and such....or are a lot of the season ticket holders suffering from Stockholm Syndrome?

AronofskyFan · 08-26-2016, 05:21 PM

Lucas and Mustafi getting their medicals today, probably doesn't help us for Watford but having a good complimentary striker and an ascending center back to pair with Koscielny can only be a good thing for the rest of the season. Hopefully Ozil and Giroud start this game and we move Alexis back out on the wing. We have to get our first win under our belts tomorrow.

I agree if we don't win tomorrow he is going to be under big pressure and that's the only time wenger acts that is why we are close to those two signings now.
He would not have gone into the transfer market if Gabriel didn't get injured and the reaction after the away match at Leicester last week just hope he starts Ozil tomorrow with Giroud too.

Geoff D · 08-27-2016, 11:17 PM

Palace got out of jail today, Bournemouth came to steal all three points just like they did last season and they nearly bloody got them too. Says it all that we spunk £40M quid on two attacking players and who scored the equaliser? Our centre back, who's easily the best header in the squad. Could've done without Cabaye missing that ****ing penalty though.
