What's the difference between Brighton and Pace so far...

If this isn't an attempt at fishing, and I think it isn't, then I think I have just read one of the thickest statements ever to be posted on NSC.

Well done

 

[Silent Bob]

After four games, not a lot.

Well, obviously.

You should read stuff back to yourself before you post it, you might realise what it sounds like when you're desperately trying to convince us you're not that much worse than we are after all.

Obviously 4 games in is way to early to draw conclusions, but I have been pleasantly surprised at how well we did against Cardiff, and how well we played against Blackpool.

I have actually been astounded by Palace's last 3 results - I had them down for just 2 or 3 points at most, so a bit of credit to them I guess.

We must take every game as it comes, but I see nothing to fear in theory against Peterborough and Bristol City, and I've a sneaking feeling we'll get something away at SEVEN's place as well.

Thank you.



Must admit I shouldn't have left a little "al" out though.

Trying to be serious, let's parallel Freedman's achievements so far against Poyet's.

Freedman like Poyet took a club in serious danger of relegation mid-season and steered them into a respectable finish at the end of last season. Now in his second season he is beginning to show more promise. The big advantage Palace have over Albion is our youth system, which has consistently produced players, sadly most of whom we have had to sell on, with Premiership potenmtial.

Ben Watson, Wayne Routledge, etc etc.

Name me ONE former Albion youth player at the top level, apart from Barry who you only taught to do up his shoelaces before Villa got him.

Poor
Pretenious
Pompous
Pathetic
Palace
Prat

Future players...Jake Forster Caskey England youth player and possibly Lewis Dunk...you prats live on past glories...look what happened to the Roman Empire...the moment is now...live with it your days are numbered!

After four games, not a lot.

Yo threw away a two goal lead at home against a relegated club, we threw a one goal away advantage against a promoted club.

Who on Saturday in the next home game, scored 7...without their star player, sold to you.

Your top scorer of last season can't even get on the bench at Selhurst.

All in all I'd say it's honours even so far.

Have a feeling crawley will beat you tonight !

You are trying to make parelels between Ours clubs yet in the statment above, reading between the lines you are saying your club has no ambition as you sell your youth best players etc, despite having supposed filthy rich owners.
We are building a brand new Acedemy stright after building a new home, we are signing qaulity players and we have ambitions to be in the top flight.
If you judge the clubs on this bases and not on having played four games, I think you will see there is no comparison between us at all!!! We will suceed, you will struggle

Palace take on their new local rivals , Crawley , at Smellhurst tonight. Will there be a 1st round upset or will Crawley scrape through ?

Is that you trying to be serious? I'll ignore the stupid comment about Barry. As for youth development, it's obvious that is an area that would struggle when you don't even have a proper stadium for your first team, and you are losing money just trying to survive. I would expect our youth development to improve significantly now that we have a home again.

If Palace were above us in the league (with equal games played) you'd be shouting about it. But Brighton are ahead, so instead you say that you have better youth development. You are very sad.

Good God!

Come on admit it, you thought Palace would be where Coventry and Doncaster are. The fact is we are right behind you. And if you f*ck up against Peterboro at home, a side who you deprived of their main striker from last season, I think it will prove you aren't quite as good as you think you are.

All that being said, a good win over Sunderland last night. Poyet is taking the League Cup more seriously than last year, eh?

Both clubs are exceeding most people's expectations. The difference is that most people can see that Brighton's quality summer signings, talented young manager and fantastic club set up mean we could quite realistically sustain this level of achievement. We're winning plaudits all over the shop for the way we play and the results we've picked up thus far.

Palace are exceeding people's expectations because they were initially so low AND even though they've picked up some good results, they aren't being mentioned in the same breath as Brighton because most people can see that they aren't good enough to keep winning games.

Good luck to Dougie Freedman, who knows perhaps he will become your Poyet. But you are still leagues behind us off the pitch now we've finally unlocked our potential. We are only looking up. Palace are still looking over their shoulders, forever fearing their debts will catch up with them or their ramshackle ground will collapse.

Ask any informed neutrals right now which club is wearing the trousers and I'm certain that at least 9 times out of 10 Brighton will come out on top.

However, if you really want it hammering home, we'll take your team apart when you visit next month

Fair comment, at least it's bile-free. Time will tell. Roll on September 27th...
