react to their new Middle Eastern owners in the way they reacted to Newcastle after their Saudi takeover?
I am guessing no.

I’m hearing that they’re bringing their ‘ teachers and pupils ‘ banner to us next month.
“Ultras” I just can never accept that, 
ers. A laughing stock with a drum who run away.
An insult to Boca, Napoli etc.

And a cheerleader who is a spurs fan.“Ultras” I just can never accept that,

Probably not no.
Plenty of Brighton fans (and that goes for every club) who'd be ejaculating to the thought of a big bad rich Sheikh if the option was John Textor though.
Moral superiority is always easy to those of us who can afford it. Can't blame them for being happy.
Another step towards the whole "what is this league really about?" thing though. Very rapid development towards clubs with highly dubious intentions getting an awful lot of power.

They are so utterly pathetic. They carry their high-headed entitlement with them wherever they go. Humourless, opinionated and deluded.
I have a few Palace supporting mates (having been born behind enemy lines) who are decent and realistic…normal football fans in other words. But these self-styles Ultras are all that’s wrong with modern football. They won’t take a moral stance on their new owners, other to write an open letter to them (which will be ignored and forgotten as soon as the cheque book comes out).
Bang the f***ing drum again, you total morons.
(And relax).

Not sure about that point. Maybe I'm looking from a personal perspective. But success under that type of ownership is a hollow crown to me. I think for many others too.
As with City, Chelsea, Newcastle etc and now Palace, sure there are the people who'd say "f*** this shit" and never go again. Those people are going to be in overwhelming minority to the people who want to watch their favorite club boosted with hundreds of millions of players.
Not sure how we'd fit them all on the pitch.

I think that it was the irony of the moral superiority that was being highlighted. Palace's pyjama gang have a habit of producing childish displays of pontification because they actually seem to believe themselves to be the conscience of modern English football. A conscience that doesn't seem to prevent them hospitalising their own stewards, stealing seats off long term fans of their own team, or crying and taking their ball home should their owners ever refuse any of their puffed up capricious demands.

That article says these prospective buyers are being advised by Keith Harris.
Appropriate, for a club who wish they could fly, right up to the sky, but they can't.
I've had a few conversations with Palace fans on Reddit and have to say they appear to be various more or less normal people supporting a different football club than I do. But maybe they're all necrophiles etc in reality, f*** do I know.

Great post but you missed out displays and protests against parish and co which are quickly forgotten when they win a few matches against opponents who are clearly on the beach.
This is all a bit Orvillian

I know loads of Palace fans who are who are lovely people. None of them dress themselves in black pyjamas and pretend to be 'ultras'. I'm not talking about all, or even most, of their perfectly sensible and long suffering supporters, I'm talking about one particular group of

I saw that. Nookie Bear must be seething.
Youve probably not interacted with the ones that like producing the banners then.

I know loads of Palace fans, lovely people. To a man they still don't like us and still think they are a bigger club than us.
They all think our bubble will burst very soon.
