Nigel Bevan on the Enjoooythegame Facebook group sent in some of Danny Baker's Tweets on Hollowhead's first day back in the Premiership: TV NEWS: After poor reviews & figures the Premier League have just confirmed there will not be a second season of Palace In The Top Flight. SKY: "Palace still very much in with a shout in this game!" True. Unfortunately it's "Help". It is now mathematically impossible for Palace to stay up.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23745668 Having a moan already. My heart bleeds for you Ian, it really does.
The whole question of "Will we get that if we went to Tottenham?" question is ridiculous on the FIRST day of the season. The penalty was clear as day and chances are with the amount they got last year, one of them was for a CLEAR handball in the box.
Oi've been looking at the prograrm and Oi've cirrcled the names of all the Palace players who are crarp. That's all of them. That can't be roight, can it?
I saw that interview with him over the weekend, and I just shook my head. I'm so relieved we don't have an embarrassment like that as our manager. We are very, very lucky.
Like the way he said 'I'm in for a long season with these refs'. Only if the season ends at Christmas when you are sacked, Ian.
Can we not have a bookie event about our rivals? Odds on when the self styled idiot bumpkin "oily" will be given the full backing of the board Total points achieves by Christmas
Hehe Only took him 1 match of the new season... Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway is charged by the Football Association following Sunday's match against Tottenham Hotspur. The FA confirm: "Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has been charged by The FA in relation to two separate matters. Firstly, it is alleged that Holloway's language and/or behaviour in or around the match officials changing room at the end of the game amounted to improper conduct. "Secondly, it is alleged that Holloway's post-match media comments questioned the integrity of the referee and/or match officials and/or implied that the referee and/or match officials were motivated by bias; and/or brought the game into disrepute."
In season that has 38 games it only took 1....... http://www.thefa.com/News/governance/2013/aug/ian-holloway-charged.aspx Silly ***.
My first thought when he opened his mouth was that the fa wouldn't let it pass. He basically said that last time he was in the premier league refs cheating cost him 9 points, this time he wouldnt let it go so he was complaining about it.
After work, sitting in a beautiful garden in the sun, at my country club, drinking a cold beer and now this! Bliss
On another note. How many threads have we had about Luton in, say, the last 6 months? And how many about palace and Holloway? It might be a joke the whole rivals thing but smaller issues have caused longer and more bitter rivalries in the past. There is animosity seemingly not just from holloway who flails at the wind and tilts at windmills, but from both sets of fans. I'm really looking forward to palace failing, Luton, genuinely, not so much ( obviously some though)
To be fair to their fans, there is a large thread with 117 posts on their Palace forum. I only looked at the first 20 or so, and none backed Holloway, and thought he was being unsporting and that the complaint against the ref was unjustified.
Didn't take Hollowhead long One charge of improper conduct and another of bringing the game into disrepute. After just one game that takes a special kind of stupid.
The penalty in question reminds me of the one on our opening day last time out in the PL away at Everton. The only difference being Everton were awarded the penalty when the ball hit Powell straight on the forehead. Unless I was being completely blind, there was nothing wrong with the referee and/or officials in question in their performance this weekend. Golum likes to kick up a fuss about absolutely nothing, and has rightly been charged. Glad some of their fans can at least see sense.
Finally, someone mustered up the energy to put a cork in the never-ending gibberish emanating from this hypocritical cabbage head of a manager!
He couldn't give a toss about Palace sadly. Just out for the media recognition and ensuring his inability to bring in PL quality players goes under the radar by making excuses for when he's on the dole come Christmas.
He's forged a career out of marketing himself with soundbites in the same way as Harry Redknapp. I don't agree with it and this loophole should be closed but fair play for them taking advantage of it.
Re-read that phrase. That will answer your question. On a more serious note, they were OK to begin with, but apparently they made some bad decisions in the 2nd half.
I think the best bit is that they went ahead, bringing with it that glimmer of hope, before Stoke smashed it into the ground.
