Sounds like "wait and see". Not sure how much longer my nerves can hold out for?!

still sounds like spin. i won't get my hopes up or believe anything until something definite is officially announced.
as for todays game, i don't get paul harts reasoning. he will only put the kids on the bench and play all the fit experienced players. so that means playing some in wrong positions instead of bringing in 2 or 3 of the kids to play in their natural position. square pegs in round holes rarely works. |

another 90 mins closer to relegation.
it was a spirited display but we really didn't create much in the way of clear-cut chances. the ref & linemen were crap throughout the game which didn't help. andrew worked hard but has no idea in front of goal and stern john was awol most of the match. suppose its simple now. anything other than a win against watford on tuesday and we are doomed. half-times elsewhere aren't helping once again: coventry 0-0 sheff wed peterboro' 0-0 bristol city plymouth 0-0 blackpool watford 1-0 middlesbro' |

They worked so hard today, deserved at least a point. No help whatsoever from the officials. A bit of bad luck and a lack of top attacking quality - as we've seen all season, costs us. Quote:

Other full-times:
Coventry 1-1 Sheff Wed Peterborough 0-1 Bristol City Plymouth 0-2 Blackpool Watford 1-1 Middlesbrough Considering both Wednesday and Watford were winning at one point those results could have been much worse for us. Hopefully Sheff Utd will beat Scunthorpe tomorrow. We still have an inkling of a chance to get ourselves out of this mess but we must beat Watford on Tuesday night. |

lots of huff & puff today but no real quality in the final third
of the pitch. the fact we don't have a striker who can score something from nothing is going to haunt us. we were unlucky not to get a point but you make your own luck in football and i just don't think we do enough going forward to warant any. the game against Watford will virtually decide our fate. if we can somehow manage a win there then we will gain alot of confidence from it and we could go on to be safe. lose and we can kiss goodbye to the second tier and say hello to the third tier for the first time in 33 years. |

What to say? Depressed too.
![]() PS Wilfred Zaha looked like he was pleased to be given a chance when his face appeared on the big screen. |

The thing that depresses me the most about all of this is how we shouldn't be in this position in the first place. But because of some poxy hostile creditor and the ex-chairman who went to them in the first place we are now staring relegation to League One right in the face. Three months ago we were all thinking we could, against the odds, make the play-offs, now we sit here hoping for miracles to happen both on and off the pitch. The entire situation just feels so surreal.

What's happened to Scunny just goes to show how quickly things can change at the bottom if you can string 3 or 4 decent results together. I honestly thought they would be our nearest rivals for relegation. Right now it looks hopeless for us but 3 wins and a couple of draws from our final 7 games is still possible... albeit highly improbable.

some more news: Quote:
CRYSTAL Palace have moved a significant step closer to securing a new owner this afternoon, the Croydon Advertiser understands. LINK
The Eagles' administrator Brendan Guilfoyle, of P & Partnership, has agreed to grant "preferred buyer" status to an as-yet unnamed party, with an announcement expected later today. Guilfoyle had set a deadline of 5pm last Friday for all interested parties to prove they had the funds to complete the purchase of the club, but it now appears the sale process is ready to move forward. |

on BBC local news Mark Bright has confirmed that a consortium of local businessmen have started a company called CPFC 2010 Ltd, and will be taking over but only if they can secure the ground also.

this is very good news. hopefully the takeover will go
through and the purchase of the ground will create no problems. this could also be a timely boost for the squad ahead of the watford game and galvanise them to the victory we so desperately need. |

This is from The Times Online. They say Ron Noades may also be a part of the consortium. Quote:
Crystal Palace’s administrators are expected to give preferred-bidder status to a consortium of fans seeking to buy the Coca-Cola Championship club (Gary Jacob writes).
Steve Parish, the chief executive of TAG Worldwide, an advertising design company, is understood to be among the group, who may also include Martin Long, the Churchill Insurance founder, and Ron Noades, the former Palace and Brentford chairman. Should they succeed, the group will also need to agree a deal with the accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the administrator of the company that owns Selhurst Park. |

I'm not a Palace fan and so forgive me if I am intruding here but I listened to Jordan on Sky and would love to hear someone's opinion of what he said who can 'put the other side'.
When someone who obviously has been a major player and controversial figure speaks about a club you know nothing about really I like to hear frim true fans of that club to find out what the real situation is - so can any of you here help me out? Perhaps you could give me a generalised view too by not only saying what you yourself think but also how Palace fans in general see Jordan and the situation the club is in now - I always hate it when a club is low in the league or even relegated due to matters off the field rather than results on it and it seems to me from a distance that you as Palace fans have had a real bad time due to matters completely out of your control - sad for you (honestly) |
