Chelsea is purely financial, Palace is historic, and remember the f****** putting the final league table up on the screen at Selhurst within seconds of the final whistle back in May.
This, plus losing twice to Palace would likely mean that we were in relegation form and I'm not up for that.Must be Palace.
Losing twice to them, they would be insufferable.
Chelsea would wave it away with their usual entitlement
This. I voted too early before reading the second half. Can't lose to Palace twice in a season.Because of the proviso the Op has added (you must lose both games against the other side) I’ve had to vote Palace.
Yep, forgetting the binary choices in the OP, Villa was my first thought when I saw the thread title. Always cock it up (or they get lucky) against them - I remember a League Cup match (or was it the FA Cup?) when they were in the Championship and we put out a very young team and they were crowing over their victory over PL Brighton, completely oblivious of the fact that they were playing our youth team!Out of those 2 options, Chelsea but then I don't know any Palace fans but my father in law is a Chelsea one. I've always hated Portsmouth more than Palace and whilst I engage in the rivalry I'm not *that* bothered and don't have a bear to poke. I do for Chelsea.
As someone who lives in the Midlands id really, really love to do the double over Villa. We always cock it up against them (See Championship season) and when we do beat them it's in COVID or when we have blown the season (last year). I'm also surrounded by them. If I could be an away fan at any ground in England and watch a team get relegated it would be Villa.
I too voted Chelsea for very much the same reasons.I'll be honest. I voted Chelsea.
For me, my dislike of Chelsea is visceral. They represent everything that is wrong with football - profligate spending, horrible owners, entitled fans, mercenary players and greedy coaches. Those issues run deeper for me than my dislike for those up the road because - whilst we are rivals - we are both doing our best to fight the dark forces of football.
Yes a one point difference. What a European tour that is for Palace. I just don't know how we can ever live it down.Chelsea is purely financial, Palace is historic, and remember the f****** putting the final league table up on the screen at Selhurst within seconds of the final whistle back in May.
Old boy was talking to a couple of Palace supporting undertakers up at Crawley today, they put that table up immediately because it meant so much to themYes a one point difference. What a European tour that is for Palace. I just don't know how we can ever live it down.
Whereas we had to put up with finishing top of our European group, beating teams with five European Cups between them along the way, and entering the league cup after they had already been knocked out. Oh and I almost forgot - we also spanked them 4-1 in the league.
