Palace reaction to Zamora signing.

[greyseagull]

Well in the 1990's, Palace spent 5.5 years in the Prem and 4.5 years in the Championship (or their equivalents). Perhaps not surprisingly your own achievements in that decade are best forgotten (except of course they aren't).

I'd imagine you had to research that pretty quickly seeing as you were probably born around 2000-2001?

Good to know that they can't get to grips with having a rival in the Premier League, they clearly know their level and their true rival. All good, we'll meet again soon enough, let's keep the pot bubbling.

**** Palace.

The proper, old school romantics among the Palace support will understand why this is fantastic news for us, even if they pretend otherwise. The opinions of the rest simply don't count.

Your life must be so full of excitement to be spending your Tuesday morning on another team's message board.
Absolute loser.

School holidays isn't it and, to be fair, there's a not a lot to keep yourself amused with in Croydon. I'd imagine he will spend a hour on here before plugging into Championship Manager for the next 6 hours with one hand down his crotch.

The colour scheme on there actually made it painful to read.

Ah good point.
I didn't think that he's probably a youth.

Either way, if I was on my school holidays, I'd be out at Hove/Wish Park at 10am playing football until it got dark.

We're very lucky with NSC. I don't think I've seen a better run football forum.

You're not going for Jimmy-Floyd as well?? At least Bobby Zee won't need a courtesy car, he must have a bus-pass by now..

Hmmm very comforting to know that when Bobby has to renew his bus pass, he will have to do it two years after Speroni and be joined by Hangeland and Delaney ,

I quite understand the romantic side of it,its what footballs about, its just David Hopkins second spell ruined past memories, and this time last year we re-signed Andy Johnson which was less than successful.

But BZ was a great player and the sort of forward I love to watch...but don't expect too much he is 10 years older and on the way down not up.

I have absolutely no idea why anyone would be interested in what the jolly jestermen think about this.

It won't be a proper, and fair opinion, and will be negative and sneering just for the sake of it.

However, I might be being unfair, as I haven't read that link, nor anything on that BBS for years.

I think that comment is a bit harsh and not necessarily true . But in saying that they say you should never go back and his best years are well and truly behind him

All that was a different club, the original Palace.

This new one was only formed in 2010.

I think we know that his best years are behind him Dougie as they were when he played for us .

Really dont care what they think.

I am not expecting "too much" but obviously plenty more than you would have expected from Johnson (especially with the alternative striking options you had.) BZ had a decent season in the Premier League so there is no reason at all to expect that he can't perform in the Championship. Nobody is expecting 40+ appearances and 30 goals. He definitely strengthens us though whichever way you slice it.

We needed a lift (in my view.) This will help.
