@The Palace Fan which one do you like better? I'm in my 4th season with Palace and have begun editing kits on Photoshop.

Changed the design completely, I'm unsure. I think #1 looks better, but #2 has more of a Palace feel.

The bottom one.

I had my doubts too but I've actually started to grow into them.

Its my first ever kit design though so I'll get to it sometime

That top one looks like it hasn't been washed properly . The second one is alright but it'd cause riots with the fans.

@Blue to prevent a repeat of the 2011 riots in Croydon, move the two blue lines to the centre and make the lines thicker.

A red and blue sash for the away kit will appease people. We love a fucking sash.

"After weeks of negotiations, Peruvian manager of Crystal Palace announces a change of kits with Peruvian beer Arequipeña being the shirt sponsor. A whole redesign of the original kit has been done."

Exciting times for the save with this signing

[Danny]

I'm just going to re-iterate how shit I am at FM17.

[Stan]

what's the least amount of goals anyone's conceded in a league season?

Not sure on the amount in total but on my Rijeka save I conceded 3 at home all season.

[Bluebird Hewitt]

I have no idea as my saves tend to struggle to go beyond a season. 

I'd probably say either my long gone Juventus save when they were in Serie B on FM07 or my current save with Weston-Super-Mare in the English National South.

@Stan are you taking the piss? 😂 As if that's something I keep count of whilst I'm getting shafted each season.

I miss Fifa.

i did consider omitting you and @Dan but it was too much to resist  

[Stan]

Reason I ask is that I've only conceded 16 so far with Lyon in the current season (2044/45) and it's been my best return so far (been there since 2027/28). 

Only conceded 4 at home as well and have won every home game in the season. Also something I don't think I've done before. 

I don't even think it's the best defence/goal-keeper I've ever had either.

Mate I'm just no good but I don't have the will power not to go back and try again, it's like heroin.

Ive tried so many formations, attempts at keeping players happy...it always goes down hill. Players always average a 6.9-7.5 performance, always get pissed off. If I play with wide players my midfield gets over run or oppo just runs through me as if I'm not there, if I pack the midfield I never score, draw a lot and then inevitably start losing. Literally cannot crack this game and you have the nerve to ask what my best defensive record is? Wanker 

And you're currently in season 44/45....how the fuck even

I concede far too many to a point where I thought there was a glitch. However my goalkeeper has always been Wayne Hennessey.

FM18 is a joke, Jordan Pickford is listed as a wonderkid all over the internet yet had AIDS for hands and in my first game of season two against Arsenal I lost 9-6. 

He's been decent for me so far.

[Dan+]

I've just conceded 9 goals at home in the Championship in a whole season which is surely a record for me. 33 in total annoyingly although we conceded just 5 goals in our last 14 games.

[Danny]

Lads I don't want to get too happy too soon but I may have worked this game out.

Currently Everton, played 12 games altogether, won 7, drawn 2, lost 3 (Liverpool, Chelsea and City).

Inevitable collapse either now or after a few more games

Not collapsed but hit a patchy run of form that ended up getting spanked 5-1 against Spurs, other results were some draws and I took Chelsea to a penalty shoot out in the Qtr final of the League Cup. Trying to turn it around with a team meeting and praising training, will see how I get on!
