"Why all of a sudden the push?"
Why not give it a push? What is wrong with that? Do you mean the coverage? Probably because there is a lot of interest in it now. Fair enough you aren't interested, nor are some of my friends, but that doesn't mean it's forbidden for the rest of us not to enjoy watching it.
I would enjoy it a lot more too if I could have a successful QPR team to support. |

Well put. It always make me laugh when male sports fans denigrate women's sports for not being of a good enough quality. If that was the only reason to enjoy or follow sport then every single one of us QPR fans are even more stupid than we realise.
What is interesting is that in the female sports that are more developed, such as tennis and cricket, they are actually providing old school elements that the male game has moved on from in its ever-increasing desire for power and stamina. In tennis, that is rallies rather than huge serves bombing past on grass. In cricket, that is batters having to rely on skill and touch rather than just brute force launching boring six after six.
I see no reason why women's football won't develop into being a healthy alternative in the same way. |

Well said. Of course it isn't as up there as the men but I would love them to raise up the leagues and get some much needed exposure. And even if you are anti women's sport generally, as a supporter of the club you surely have to see that raising the profile of our women's side in an ever-growing market...has to be a good thing. |

Totally agree - Marti and Bristol City look a perfect fit to me. Don't hate the club either so no problem if he goes there and does well. Would rather he goes abroad and does well though, still going to be painful watching a good man and good manager that we surely could have kept. |

Blimey mate, that's a lot of conclusions you have jumped to there about whatever happened! |

I didn't particularly like or dislike Paal, thought he had some very poor games this season, but the fact I think it is a very fair point to highlight his excellent appearance record....
...shows how far we have sunk as a club.
We're looking for players that are willing to turn up on a regular basis. I mean, how Sunday League is that?! Sounds more like club cricket. Can't bowl, can't bat, can't field, but he's always here. |

I would love this to happen, but it is incredibly unlikely, surely. It would also be pointless unless CN and MC have actually completely sorted out their differences.
In all walks of life I don't think many come back once put on gardening leave. |

Absolutely, bad enough what he did but then his antics in front of us show no humility whatsoever. Nearly as bad as Beale, in my book. [Post edited 25 May 12:51]

Ha - imagine being the "worst Curran brother" - which means you are a worse international cricketer than Tom, oh dear. To think that TC is probably minted after his IPL stuff - there must be so many skint cricketers from the 80s and 90s who are absolutely gutted. |

I normally wouldn't give this thought much credit as this is Steve Cook we are talking about - surely there would be no shortage of mid table Championship clubs willing to give him a decent contract for another year, so I don't find it credible that he would be risking the rest of his career on an injury just to trigger the deal. I know it's probably a decent deal, but he would have been on far bigger ones at Forest etc so hardly that exciting for him to risk the entire pot?
Then again, I read our press release, and it would definitely appear someone feels stitched up by something. I prefer to believe it is the previous agreement rather than the above. |

At least the outdated Oh West London chant can actually take on a more tasteful bent. If we can also hire Fanny Chmelar as the new Head of Performance then the whole chant gets a clean bill of health. |

Ha - I had forgotten that.
My point isn't really about success / great decisions though - it is about being present. Involved! |

I am thankful, I don't dislike the owners at all. I get what you are saying, but I don't think Parish runs it like that because he is a Palace fan. More like he owns a business and he wants to be there to make sure it is run properly. Just feel like we've had a long line of owners with many, many more things on their plate and we could do with someone whose attention is on it at least 90% of the time.
I agree it won't happen though. |

Anyone else watch those pieces on Steve Parish and Crystal Palace and think - there's a proper owner of a football club? Easy to say after they have won the cup, but that isn't really the point. Nor the fact that Ruben is probably a hundred times richer than Parish.
It seems that Parish's main job in life, having made his fortune selling his agency, is to own and run Crystal Palace. He's there, he's in amongst it, he knows what is going on. I can't remember the last time we had an owner like that. I would forgive many a mistake by any owner if they were going to the club every day and sitting in their owner's office and making sure things were being run properly to the best of their ability. |

I don't understand this, getting rid of Cifuentes and replace him with someone who has relatively done far worse in the Championship, given the comparative squads?
If this goes through, it had better go well, quickly or Nourry is going to look an absolute tool. |

I like Haaland, but got to agree. He's on some unbelievable 8 year contract and he's not the one to step up and get them back into a final? I know he has missed a few recently, but come on man....
Anyway, pleased for Palace and most importantly pleased for the FA Cup. Really hoping this is another step towards the revival of the competition. |

Agreed, I am glad Palace won and that he wasn't sent off, but surely it was a red card. Rooney is spot on, the excuses that they come out with after such decisions is just embarrassing. Yet again, shows the pointlessness of wasting all that time with VAR when you still just get a human making a (wrong) subjective decision.
Anything factual that can be automated (and immediate) like goal lines = yes. Everything else, total waste of time. |

Reply | Michi Frey contract ✅
at 09:16 17 May 2025
All seems good on paper in the off season, but really - unless Kelman can translate his form into the level above (and we even keep him), you could look at it like this:
Celar - hamstring blown, looked like a fish out of water bar 1 game in 22
Kelman - unproven in the Champ
Kolli - lots of potential, but injury prone and is he really a striker?
Frey - is what he is, when he is available
Lloyd - honest trier, but surely limited at this stage
Hardly got the opposition managers rearranging their defences in panic, has it?
A hell of a lot relies on Kelman (i) staying and (ii) coming good. Seems a bit optimistic to me.
We've got to buy a striker, and a good one. Chances of that = slim. |

For me it was the save from Mark Hughes at Loftus Road in front of the away end. Much as I hate Hughes, he knew how to hit a ball and struck it like a rocket. Big Jan came from nowhere to keep it out. |
