It is a bit weird though don't you think?
Don't misunderstand me - you do what you feel the need to do but I can't pretend to understand it and that makes me moderately concerned/uncomfortable. I can understand a bit of "lording it" on here after Saturday's defeat but it's like you've moved in permanently.
Is there not somewhere else you could hang out that's a bit more "appropriate"?
It's just all a bit strange!

Aaaaw bless him he likes us
I'm sure that you didn't really need to know the above but your patroinising post deserved a patronising answer. And the fact that you have posted over 3000 posts in 4 years suggests to me that your the one that needs to get a life.
Says somebody visiting an opposition board on both a Saturday and Sunday morning, and evening. Oh, and look, you're back on again today.
Each to their own.

4 of their next 5 league games are away from home. Next 2 home games are Birmingham and Leicester so not going to be easy.

They needed a result at home to Derby, hard run of fixtures coming up.

I think its safe to say that the cup run has knocked us off course a bit. But f*** it, we are 2 games away from Wembley in a major trophy, i'd take that any day of the week over a few places in the league! You won't make the play-offs in a million years IMO, there are at least 10 better sides in this league than you, us being one of them. And your next few games are hardly easy either...
Lets be honest, any BHA fan without his rose tinted specs on would agree that you've been VERY lucky in the last 2 league games and we have been the opposite. Derby and Forest were by far the better sides from what i hear and apparently you only had 1 shot on/off target in the Forest game (which was obviously the winner). Contrast that to us and we have had Muzza missing the pen vs Millwall and an O.G from our tired skipper who had given a heroic 120 minute effort only 48 hours beforehand.
It's also ironic how you lot said lets wait till April to see where the 2 teams are but now you're ahead you seem to harp on about it yourselves?! Have you forgotten that we have a game in hand on you and you still have to come to our patch? We could easily be above you again in no time at all...
The end of the day,i think we can be more satisifed with our season than you can be with yours so far. A fantastic 3-1 win for us at your place (it still hurts, be honest), only 1 defeat at home, a win up at Old Trafford and in the semi finals of the League Cup. All this on a show string budget wheras you have splashed £4-5 million...

Palace fans shouldn't really bring up budgets.

I don't think I'd disagree with too much of that really. A mediocre spell in the league when all you were hoping for at the start is mid-table consolidation, is not too much to pay for the chance of a cup final at Wembley and a win at OT. I'd love to see Brighton play at Wembley, might happen this year but as you say we've been ropey at best.

Aww, the poor old Palace paupers have got their excuses out in force once again; "boohoo we don't have any money," "you're really lucky 'cos you keep winning games," "we were heroic against United's reserves and that's all that matters"
Yeah, I'd much rather be in the semis of the no-one-gives-a-f*** reserve cup and be in 12th (7 points off the relegation zone) than go straight up from League One and into the play-off zone after 20 games.
Yeah, you did us over at the Amex- you were the better side and deserved to win. Well done. But it's only three points at the end of the day. You can brag all you like, but the table doesn't lie.
I'm not sure about Derby as I wasn't there, but we were very lucky against Forest. But the last time I checked, a lucky 3 points is still worth as much as an easy 3 points. And they always say it's the side of a good side to be able to play badly and win, don't they?
I actually think the two teams are very similar. They're both somewhere between the 7th - 12th best teams in the division, both could get lucky and sneak into the play-offs, and both could get sucked into a relegation battle with a run of poor form. But I don't think either side are real contenders for either promotion or relegation.
However, I think the difference is that we may look to buy a few players to strengthen in January, where as you are going to struggle to hold onto the players that you have.
In my opinion, of course, I could be wrong.
