Wigan Athletic 5 - 0 Crystal Palace

This was a total shambles and an embarrassment. I have been following Palace for 40 years, and I can honestly say that this rubbish was the worst that I have ever witnessed. I am ashamed to say that I am a Palace supporter. Andy Liddell (2) Nathan Ellington (2) and Geoff Horsfield scored the goals that put Wigan top of the table. I can say nothing about the Palace display that is printable.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask Steve Kember to explain why he continues to play players out of position. Shaun Derry aint no centre half, but with Darren Powell injured and Kit Symons ON THE BENCH, thats where he played. Danny Granville? Need I say more? Aki Riihilahti? Complete sh**e. Curtis Fleming, Tony Popovic and Derry as a back 3. Cut to ribbons time after time after time. I have just watched the highlights on Sky and it took Garry Birtles 40 minutes to work out that the system does not work. Steve Kember still hasn't worked it out. The time has come for Kember to go, and go now. We are in freefall and he cannot do a thing about it. We need Borrowdale, Watson and Routledge in the team, not on the bench. Why was Symons not playing? Words just fail me.
Get out now Kember before its too late.
