This. Keep the faith.

Whatever Happened to Billy Shears? [Link] is my new novel about Palace fan William Shearwater: a follow up to [Link] com.

Yes. I agree. My comment was more in a response to the meltdown on here after a loss against a big team. I have supported Palace my whole life and the amount of times we have lost to a late goal after a great performance against a bigger team is beyond counting. It was totally expected to be honest.

We are not totally f***ed because of that result or, indeed, manner of that defeat. Keep the faith all! We are where we expected to be this weekend... it’s just the hope that kills you.

Good post, laddo. 9 games left - plenty to play for and twists a-plenty, I’m sure.

We played two up front and that’s what Benteke hasn’t had all season - support

We were fantastic last night, we deserved atleast a point. That looks like a team thats fighting to stay up. We can not fault theses players. Still have wilf, sakho, rlc, fosu mensah, Ward to come back and help too!

Last night I went to my bed devestated for the players, Roy and the fans. I felt angry but not st the club or the players but at Jose because I think he’s a disgusting human. He sat there looking entitled and cussing his players at 2-0 down. The man is vile. Nothing special about him or Man U.

This morning I feel very very proud of the club. What a effort against hundreds and hundreds of millions of pounds worth of players. I wouldn’t swap one of ours for there’s.

The back four were putting everything on the line, Tomkins was class, PVA was like a jack rabbit. Kelly was Kelly, solid. AWB was like mr soft with his long legs making there wingers look silly. The midfield were disaplined and solid. Shlup was superb, he was a great outlet, been missed. Townsend as usual was tireless. The two boys up front worked hard but clearly sorloth is the future.

Roy is doing a super job, we’ve always been in games and he’s got everyone playing hard. I’ve got no worries we about staying up with our run in compared to stoke and Southampton.

Lastly mr parish is getting a lot of stick, might be worth thinking about him as our saviour as he bailed the club out. Made a plan, got us in the prem and made the right appointment every time in that moment to keep us in the league. The recruitment has been good over all and he’s put lots money in. Not too mention the ground upgrade.

But we could always get like West Ham or get in a foreign lot from the Middle East and end up like all the failed ex prem clubs who sold there souls. If we go down I’ll thank a 70 year old for a monster effort and the chairman for a lot of memories in the prem. we won’t tho as we have a good club from top to bottom. A chairman that cares, passionate manager and players and the very best fans in the world.
