    Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Sorry that was laughing at you as we did the triple over you last season.

    Has Saha got injured yet? Go back to your egg and chips.

    They just beat Man Utd at Old Trafford. Something we will never do again. We are bottom of league, 3 points adrift.

    Think they have the right to gloat.

    I don't have a problem with gloating. What I have a problem with is the way it was done. Form a discussion about it, then we can
    talk like civilized adults. His/her opening post was just childish.

    Bit early to gloat for a team that started a couple of seasons ago with a far worse run. Was it 6 without a win or a goal or seven?

    To be fair we can be right ****s when things aren't going well for other teams, especially Bournemouth, Wolves, Palace etc so we can't really complain that much. Good chance it's just another forum user anyway.

    Your analysis is spot on to be fair. Nothing else needs to be said yet we still have clowns who think we are nailed on for mid table.

    Thankfully not as bad as your start in 17/18 season so we’re still better than Zaha FC. Thanks for dropping by and reminding me that you’re still a tinpot nothing club.

    Not sure it is time to gloat at Palace after they won at old Trafford and our cowards have been annihilated 7 times on the bounce!

    A game that they got smashed in. Palace were extremely lucky to get a win. Didn’t even deserve a point. They were atrocious. They can thank the ref and Rashford. Palace will be down this season. They truly are awful. They need to be in the championship anyway. They are a small club. The likes of Leeds and Notts Forest deserve to be in the Prem.

    Their’s is a gloating of self-hatred. Watford/Croydon interchangeable. Peep Show set in Croydon, often filmed in Watford. No difference for the casual viewer. Same with Palace and Watford. Generally it’s Palace that can’t win for the opening few months. Our turn this time.

    Let’s face it, we can beat Man U. Last time we even did it with Okaka on the pitch.

    You are correct. I thought he did his back heel that game, but that was against Everton.

    In any case, last time we beat Man Utd we had a load of crap Watford players on the pitch. The names are not important.

    We could beat them anywhere. Look at the dross that has won there, Cardiff, Palace etc.

    It’s nice to get a lucky win or two. All teams will get a few throughout the season.

    But the season is long. If Palace play as well as they did against United, and they probably won’t be able to, they’ll still lose to most teams in the league.

    I’m looking at both of our attacking and defensive players and comparing them to the rest of the league. We’re both in quite a bit of danger, if you ask me.

    Maybe he’s under the impression that United have been poor for a few seasons now and we’ve not won at Old Trafford? 1 win in 17 games against them. And a very poor record against Top 6 teams in general, despite that supposedly being a strength of Gracia.

    Not quite sure why it’s a debate given the origins of the thread! But it’s fair to say United would beat us.

    The proposition was we couldn't beat United. It's clearly untrue, albeit unlikely.

    But we've outplayed them more often than not, so it's unlikely, but nowhere near impossible.

    The problem with 13 year old internet trolls is they tend to spunk their pants way too prematurely.

    If this one had just kept his powder dry until October, by then we will very likely have beaten their abysmal start of 7 consecutive defeats and would have genuine grounds to gloat.

    Surely 13 yos are multiple spunkers within a very short timeframe.
