Merry Christmas Everyone!

So here it is, Merry Christmas. Shows where my priority's lie when my first thought of the morning was "football tommorow", with it then slowly dawning on me that old JC was celebrating his big day. But I think it's fair to say that the next month or so is an absolutely vital period for every single club in the UK, what with a whole load of fixtures, and the dreaded opening on the transfer window. Fuck me it's not going to be a good January for us Palace fans - especially if the rumours of us going into administration soon are to be believed (and there really is no reason to doubt them).
Victor will go there's no question about that. Inconsistent for the past 2 years, for the past month he's looked like a world beater - and there's no doubt the talent is there. A facebook group entitled "Victor Moses for the England World Cup Squad" may be a little premature, but I don't think anyone would begrudge him a move to the Premierleague. Or even abroad if these ridiculous tabloid reports actually have any credence.
Another man who you would be truly delighted for if he got a big money move would be one of Palace's greatest ever keeper, Julian Speroni. Another Palace blog, powertothepalace, wrote about how his attitude both on and off the pitch is one to admire in this time of players seeking big money moves. Not once has he complained about the (relatively) low wages he's on, not once has he asked to leave the club. In fact, he regularly talks about how much he loves it as SE25, something shown by his interaction with fans before and after matches. Touch wood, I think he'll stay.
As for Stevenage, whom I should be seeing against AFC Wimbledon (weather permitting), well again the rumours are a little worrying. Wilson, Roberts and Odubade to Peterborough is utter bull, but Scotty Laird to Oxford is a realistic proposition. He's the best left back in the league, and if a good enough offer came in, he could be tempted to jump ship to what is undoubtedly a bigger club.
Us Palace fans know a thing or two about losing players, but not since the dark days of before Jordan have things been this bad. Other clubs know that we can't afford to reject any decent offers and therefore will look to take advantage, whilst bringing in new players will be virtually impossible for us.
It is therefore vital that we get as many points as we can on the board before the inevitable mass exodus starts. Whatever other Palace fans may tell you about Warnock's style of play, he's worked a minor miracle at the club if you consider that he hasn't spent a transfer fee in 16 months. If there's one man you would trust to keep the club in the league at this difficult time, it's Warnock, but even with him in charge it's certainly a worrying time
