You clutch that straw.
On reflection, it deserves its own category. So, you’re in the shade on that one too.

Oh such joy, I have only just seen this, this is marvellous and has cheered me right up. Delusional fantasist!

I enjoy the banter and often get dragged into the delusional side of things.
The reality is there really isn't too much difference between the clubs.
Much as we would both like to think there is.

I would suggest that historically Palace may have a good case to claim they have been the bigger club. Today and going forward ? Mind the Gap

Yep, one club widely admired around the world for it's vision and top notch professionalism, the other......well never mind.I would suggest that historically Palace may have a good case to claim they have been the bigger club. Today and going forward ? Mind the Gap
Come now.
Palace are the oldest professional football club in the World.
A 163 year history, that began in 2010.

Didn’t they have 1908 or something on their shirts a few years ago then tried to claim some 50 years extra history

You’re right Dan and although I will point to injuries and our manager not being in it since Xmas we have to accept you finished above us. Me, I’d rather have a 4-1 thrashing and a draw away - 4 points - than finishing above you lot but that’s just me. And every other football fan who get rivalry. But yes, you will prob still finish above us this season when the champions league push many of your fans were talking about kicks in…
I’ll be honest. Despite the taking 4 points off them and the glee of tearing them a new one at The Amex, I was heartily pissed off when we lamely rolled over and let them pass us on the run in.
I can use the reasons above and the small matter of a European tour to justify our supremacy in my own mind but we needlessly handed them some bragging rights they really should never have had.

This and I should add hearing the Villa goal updates go in on the final day whilst watching the match reminded to never stop hating Villa as well!

Was that worse than that awful day at Villa Park though, wasn’t it three or four games to get three points or something daft
3 games to get 3 points…. biggest bottle jobs ever not to finish the job off

They were pissed/hung over for about a week; as were most of us fans!!
I've been told that this was the beginning of a change in approach and attitude to 'celebrating'. Even TB admitted being swept up in the euphoria which followed the Wigan game. The club senior management took their eye off the ball for just a few days but it cost them the title. It wouldn't happen again.
Yeah but it was unprofessional like you say. Next game fair enough but the 2 others was pretty bad especially given our lack of trophies / titles !

Have to say it wasn’t as disappointing as the journey back from Boro but it’s up there with crap return journeys
Lets be honest, if the roles were reversed, and we had taken 4 points ff you, but then finished below you, similar conversations would be going on. Our teams ARE of similar size and realistic projections, and as supporters, we will look for any opportunity to take any bragging rights. European Tour? Very jealous, but partly made up for by finishing 1 place higher in the table.

Tis' true but the only part I can't get my head around when talking to Palace fans is that we are "in a better place" now, most of my conversations started when we were either homeless or at Withdean, I'd say we have far better potential at this stage in our club's histories. Ours since 1901 and yours since 2010 (sorry couldn't resist @eaglesdan)
As much as I was royally pissed off that you beat us by one place, I have to say that "partly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
A bit like if I was one result short of winning a £20 acca @ 5000/1 but this was partly made up by finding a tenner on the pavement.
