We've lost 32 of our last 65 league games. That's utter shit. The money is being wasted by having below par managers in charge. Gambles and sentimentality.

Sorry your just conflating different think. Digne being terrible value for money is utter nonsense. He’s a proven good player, a French international, and c.£25m is probably below the going rate for that calibre of player.

Does he look any good? Are we losing games? Are we conceding lots of goals? Do we look solid defensively? He's shit, he can't defend. He looks like a converted winger, someone who was converted because he can't cross a ball. If you think that lot is worth £200m then you're Peter Risdale.

Blimey,  calm down. You'll  make yourself ill.

Is he playing well at the moment? No. Does that mean he’s a hopeless player? No. You’re conflating poor form and a player’s overall ability.

If your hobby upsets you so much, and you've been stomping around the site like a surly teenager in a rage today, then bad mood or not, why bother? If you're this upset, what's the point?

I dont know what else you do for kicks and thrills, but if they made you this unhappy, you'd knock it on the head.

What are vaccine rules to enter Australia (weren’t there a few Palace players kept at home)?  I’d have thought that’s what stopped him going, and the passport was used as an excuse so he doesn’t look a dick.  Even the Blackpool manager must be expected to scout players abroad every now and then and therefore need a passport?

Is the issue Digne or the system that asks him to play two positions - wing defender and a straight up wing. Because the actual "wings" get pinched in quite a bit, Digne is asked to cover an entire sideline which is impossible. If his responsibilities were to defend and to pitch in offensively at times on an overlap or something, we might see better defensive performances out of him. It is just a mess all around.

In all honesty I’ve been less than impressed with Digne and I’m not convinced he’s an upgrade on Matt Targett.

I find it strange that someone in a well-paying career hasn't felt the need to leave the country for the past nine years.

There was the same cigarette butt wedged between a ceiling tile that was there on the final Home Game of last season?
I’m sorry, but are you saying that you don’t have confidence in Purslow because he hasn’t done anything about this cigarette butt?
