Is Gary Rowett in the black box?

You gotta speed it up, and then you gotta slow it down. And soon you will find that there comes a time for holding the ball up.

Halloween horror show.

So there's no point in a goalkeeper then?

Niasse discusses here how he was treated by Koeman. Bizarre behaviour if true and feel sorry for Niasse. https://mobile.twitter.com/JM1TTY/status/922744134481440768/video/1

4-0 v Spurs in the FA Cup is one of my favourite matches, and a rare live game on BBC back in those days.

1. Now THAT is a defence. Amazing to think we had that back four just three years ago. 2. Mayuka played!

Fair summary but I think the takeover process didn't help matters in getting someone in pronto.

What a classy farewell message, especially to us

Do you know what's also nice? The pre-match build-up, the commentary and the post-match analysis has been all about Palace. Absolutely rattled them.

Sssshhh mate - the win was never in doubt. Absolutely all over them. Made more chances, looked cool defensively, what more do you want? Better than anything under Puel.

Tactical masterclass - thank you MP. Please have faith in this guy.

It's one of the reasons VVD wants out.

I said a Frank de Boer appointment has got relegation written all over it before we hired Puel. He's not the right fit for a lot of clubs, especially Palace. It takes more than two months to instil a football philosophy. FDB will try to renovate sides but managers are never given enough time at Premier League clubs to do so. Strangely, Palace looked very good yesterday but just couldn't score – and a terrible back pass cost him his job.

Been a while (thankfully for some lol) but we are not getting Hoedt or anyone in the next two weeks. Wish I was wrong. And mega concerned about our new owners. See you laters.

The straw that broke the camel's back for me. Bye.

You come across very bitter in a lot of your posts.

Football has changed, Franny. What you've written is all fairy tale stuff. Players are bigger than clubs these days, and the Neymar farce hasn't helped things one bit. The VVD situation is now toxic and won't be resolved unless he goes unfortunately. He won't play for us again. If this doesn't go his way, he will refuse to play.

It's the internet lad. Calm down.... calm down.

Why is anyone surprised? Bye bye VVD, you won't be missed and we won't need you.

VVD take note http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11712/10974783/riyad-mahrez-keen-to-finalise-move-from-leicester-this-month

Sisu- in before someone mentions it for the 2000th time this summer.

It's an opinion piece - not an article. And don't trust anything you read that nicks Getty images without paying.

Eh? Just trying to be light-hearted in contributing to the forum mate. It's actually quite funny that I suggested him considering he's just gone to Arsenal for mega bucks!

So what you're saying is VVD will put the effort in, home and away?
