Clearly not to a great extent. The simple fact is, if a Premiership club had really wanted him, there is no question that he would've gone there over Brighton.
Not at all, I'm merely pointing out that in the last three years he's spent the majority of his career on the touchlines. The fact is, if he was as good as he was when he one Spanish player of the year, he would be gobbled up by another La Liga team or a Premierhsip team.
I just think that...
So let's just get our facts right on the subject in this thread. In the past five years, Palace fans have put on about a dozen displays on the Holmesdale stand, as well as the continual displays done by the HF. All, bar one last year done for the Geoff Thomas Leukemia Fund were put on by the...
Yawn yawn yawn.
Not selling our allocation for the withdean is bollocks. You gave us about 500 tickets and they were absolutely gobbled up. The only reason that there may have been gaps is either people not turning up or segregational/ticketing issues.
Swansea was mid season, on tele, with a...
A few mindless knobheads who are a disgrace to our club, nothing more or less. If Brighton can show me a squeaky clean history of fan violence the I'll hold my hand up and accept it, but as you, like every club in this country, has a section of yobs, I don't think you can hold this against our...
Well, against Hull three of our four defenders were Loanees, and it seems highly, highly unlikely that McCarthy would be adding hundreds of thousands to his price tag. Both of our main chairmen, or at least the main public figureheads- Browett and Parish- have come out and said that we have no...
In terms of catchment area, I would argue that ours is as big as, if not bigger than yours. I still doubt that with that catchment area and even Premiership football, you would muster over 10k for a meaningless League cup game in a few years time.
Exactly. If in 10 years time you're still managing 18000 against Gillingham in the League cup, then fair play, but when the ground has only just opened, and everyone vaguely associated with your club wants a look, then of course your attendance is gona be big.
Same will happen in 5 years...
Christ, I try and post something nice and I get told to f*** off? I thought this was quite a friendly site?
I don't think your fans aren't passionate, I just think ours have more passion. And why you're having a go at me about the Withdean I'll never know, but I'll pass it off as maybe your one...
I think it's time I outlined where I stand with regards to Brighton...
1) you have a nicer stadium than us, and bigger attendances that inevitably come with that. I also have no issue with you having a lot of Man Ure and Chelski fans attending. Better they go and watch a local side, even if it...
Boasted about how clever I am? High minded banter? The whole thing about being Virgil-like was done with obvious tongue in cheek, if that's what you're on about. You then decided to kick up a fuss about how I didn't write it in poetry form so it couldn't be Virgilian, as if I would be so...
I don't really understand this whole obsession with how intelligent or otherwise I may be. You had a go at me for citing Virgil, I explained what I meant, nothing more to it. As for repeating myself, well maybe if you lot didn't keep throwing the same arguments at me, I would have something a...
Well what do you expect? We're looking forward to the game as are you, and naturally we expect ourselves to win. What's the big deal?
As for the Sunderland fan moaning about our fans, that sounds retty ridiculous to me. Even if it is true, I imagine it was only through jubilation and done...
