Championship 2012/2013

Leicester should really be getting 6 points out of Palace this season. If you don't then you will likely need to rethink your promotion ambitions.

Losing to Charlton isn't a good sign, even if they are a "bogey" side. You know if you lose to Peterborough then you are fucked.

Our next games are:

Nott Forest = Lucky to get a draw
Cardiff = Nothing
Bolton = Nothing
Wolves = Nothing
Burnley = Would hope for a point maybe 3 but wouldn't rule out a loss given the previous 3 games
Millwall = Need to beat our rivals but can easily imagine us losing to the cunts again

So 5 points from 6 games (or hopefully 7 if we can beat Burnley but I wouldn't count on it). I'm sure even Peterborough will pick up points in that time.

That is not looking good for Palace then! Thing with Leicester is, we can beat anyone, but I expect to beat nobody. If that makes sense. That's why I just don't really care that much anymore. That way you aren't disappointed

Pessimism is great.

Have a Leicester fan at work although his son supports Palace (wanted to support local team who he could see). He's more interested in Palace now. Think Palace are more fun.

No offence but if I wasn't a Burnley fan and it was a choice between the 2
I'd have to go for Palace myself

We used to be a yoyo but have got stuck near the bottom of the Championship.

Despite getting relegated immediately everytime we have been promoted to the Premiership it was a good laugh while we were there. Drawing at home to both Arsenal and Man Utd last time and would have been Arsenal if Lakis hadn't missed for 6 yards out.

Good times....good times.

Selling your best players isn't really helping you not that I can say anything..we'll be selling Charlie Austin
at the end of the season if this board is anything like Barry Kilby

[skeletor]

Selling youth players as they come through is the only real way we can make any half decent money.

Unfortunately we were forced to sell Moses before he hit his prime and only got £2.5m I think (plus a percentage of what Chelsea paid for him). If we would have been able to hold on to him for just one more year we should have been able to ask for at least £5m. Sean Scannell although had good spells didn't look like he was setting the world alight and probably won't (most likely bad attitude). Clyne was out of contract and had played over 100 games at the second tier with no real ambition to go up so he was always going to move on (could have done better than Southampton though).

We have apparently already rejected an £8m bid for Zaha from Bolton I think it was. If he can sort out his end product then I see no reason why we couldn't get £10m+ for him come the end of the season.

Jonny Williams in my opinion is an even better player but unfortunately had a major set back with injury last year. We also have 5 or 6 coming up who are apparently "ready" for first team football.

[skeletor]

Well....

Best Palace performance I have seen for ages and we draw against 10 men.

[BlacKBlazE]

Ha I thought you had it won then that happened.

Just to clarify, being a Leicester fan is pretty boring right now but in the 90's it was awesome. We ha a trip to Wembley just about every year, lost in the play offs twice to two dodgy pens inuding one after coming from 3-0 to 3-3 in 12 mins. Finally triumphing again rivals derby, getting relegated then going on to win PO's again against.... Crystal Palace "and Leicester City are in dream land now", I'm sure Skel will remember it. We won the league cup twice and lost a 3rd final, played athletico Madrid in Europe, and slightly less impressively, red star Belgrade... 5 top 10 prem finishes in a row, beating most of the "top 4" at some point including manure 1-0 at their place.

Contrast that to the longest period outside the top flight in our history (9 years) and getting relegated to the third tier for the first time ever. Yes, it's pretty shit right now.
