[Football] Why no palace p1ss take thread ?

[Mr Putdown]

I’m looking forward to it as always.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Just don’t care about them anymore.

 

[Arkwright]

Funny how for years we missed the rivalry and now several don't care too much about it.
Surely it means a bit more than "not bothered" or "don't care".
Could you image Saints and Pompey or Arsenal and Spurs fans saying similar.
What's changed?

Come on NSR share the comedy!

hahaha I'm sure you can find them online

It's the lickers! The same who would sit on their hands and drink tea at the match, wanting to shake hands with the opposition and clapping attendances.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Lots of references to this on twitter but annoyingly videos have been taken down.

There are videos on YouTube. Or peoples sharing them around WhatsApp groups, around 20 v 15 haha

 

[nickjhs]

Meh, I really couldn't give a shit about it all. I am far more pissed at Leeds and Chelsea to worry about a Mullery dummy spit from the 70's

 

[Popeye]

Funny how they are struggling sure, but really at the end of the day don't care all that much.

That Saints and Pompey rivalry transcends football though and as such is a far bigger rivalry. It's an unfair comparison.

Our rivalry with Palace is between two similar sized clubs that has no real geographical basis. I doubt they gave us much of a thought for the 20 years we were a division of more below them. It is a bit odd as to why some of us don't really care about them right now I suppose, but when we're fiercely competing with them again, I'm sure it'll all come flooding back.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

I am 70 years old and hate Palace as much as ever.
I rejoice in a Palace defeat nearly as much as I celebrate an Albion win, and I would love it if they got relegated.

I thoroughly enjoyed the BBS thread (until I was banned from reading the final page).

The highlight was some wag posting, I'm sure without any thought of irony,:-

"Parish needs to make a stand"

I have no idea how many don't care. I certainly do and they're always the games I most want to win. And as above, I get great pleasure from watching them fail even when it's not against us.

Maybe a few here are too cool or too old to care.

 

[Mellotron]

Because every single time without fail it backfires.

 

[Javeaseagull]

People go on about the distance between us but never mention that in other rivalries. For instance Norwich v Ipswich, Plymouth v Exeter, Swansea v Cardiff. All similar miles apart I would guess but never mentioned. Strange.

 

[super-seagulls]

During the World Cup I glanced at their fixtures and thought they had to win their last game against Fulham and the next one against Bournemouth away.

After that they have

Jan - Spurs, Chelsea, Newcastle
Feb - Man U, Us, Brentford away , Liverpool
Mar - Villa away, Man C, Arsenal.

That's a terrible run of fixtures and by April 1st they could be in the bottom 3.

Interesting. Currently 14/1 with sky et to be relegated. Brentford are shorter odds at 12/1!

I’m just wondering whether the stars can align enough for both Palace and Leeds to go down…

 

[Stat Brother]

Starting to get a clearer picture as to why the palace fans were fighting among themselves

Well this tweet kind of backfired on the Palace muppet that tweeted it:



Even allowing for benefit of hindsight with our 3-1 win and their 0-3 defeat 5 days after it was published, it seemed a very oddly timed tweet with us having scored 23 (now 26) goals to their 15 (now 15) at that time.

I enjoy the extra tension and atmosphere at matches Vs Palace, but none of the encounters I've been to since 1976 can match the sheer vitriol and noise that poured out of the stands when Potter's Chelsea came to us in October. Personally it took me a week to get my voice back to normal....

We couldn't even catch breath at half time, as Chelsea fed us Roberts.
