The second half of Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to league leaders Chelsea was one of the most dispirited performances I’ve seen at Selhurst Park. We didn’t want to go for the draw. The players didn’t look tired they just looked like they were content with a 2-0 defeat. It’s an unlikely characteristic of a Palace side that I…
Dear Louis, Following last night’s struggle to draw away to West Brom I’ve taken time out of my busy schedule of playing chess and cutting the grass to give you some stern words, perhaps some advice. Do with it as you please but take note that if David Moyes had actually read my letter he…

This article is published at http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/FAN-VIEW-Calum-Chambers-Nathaniel-Clyne-favour/story-23133051-detail/story.html It’s been far too long since a Palace player kicked a ball in a Palace kit to be honest.

As one door closes another one opens, that’s the saying, right? In Palace terms it seems to be as one door opens, a fair few close. Marouane Chamakh has just come back from injury and his presence has been dearly missed in my opinion. Give him a game or two to find his feet and…
