Ah, I didnt know it was a PL requirement. Guarantee we would not get 30k at home to Fleetwood, even if we were giving them away. (Selhurst doesnt hold 30k, but you know what I mean)
Wonder how many you will take to Stoke. We played them in the 5th round last year, and they probably brought...
Got to admit Tim, I, like many others, am not holding out hope for either game (who knows when the re-arranged game will be). We have a distinct lack of goals in the team at the moment, and Wilf being out will not help, as he's one of the few players who really gets the rivalry and tries to up...
Thanks guys for the concern, I've been ill, and dont want to seem obsessed with a rivals message board. Thanks also for the insights into attendances. There is definitely a wider catchment area for you guys, as there's no other Prem/Champ club for many miles, while we do have a few other clubs...
It wasnt years later, it was the same year, the day of the Cup Semi-Final at Villa Park, when Palace Fan Paul Nixon died as a result of Man U fans and their Cantona songs. If objecting to Cantona songs makes me a twat, so be it RIP Paul
I think this squad puts to bed any semblance of Southgate's Palace bias. He's definitely gone with a lot of the popular choices like Trent, Wilson and Maddison, White as he can play anywhere
Still think Slabhead shouldnt be there
As Loz says, not a recent dislike at all, just represent everything that is wrong with current football. Their sense of entitlement in the Cup semi, that their fans just turned up expecting us to roll over (which we did sadly). The thugs and racists that still follow "the Chels" to this day...
His form has been hit and miss this season, a lot like his career with us. Brilliant in many home games, but gone missing in several away games. He's also still far too easy to wind up, as Seamus Coleman proved at Everton a couple of weeks ago.
Think he will probably wind down his contract and...
That's just not true. If he was Palace biased, he would have picked Zaha before he got fed up and changed to Ivory Coast, and he would have made more than just token gestures picking Guehi and Mitchell. I agree Maguire and Mings are not the best available, but its absolutely not Palace bias...
Despite my Palace allegiances, this is dreadful news, for someone aged 24 to have to retire due to ill health. Hope he finds another role within the game
It took us a while to get planning permission too, as we are also in an ANOB..., No even I cant write that :-)
Yes progress has been slow, but we do now have a decent academy and training facility, regardless of who has to pay to use or not, and hopefully work on the ground will start soon, but...
I think miles behind is a bit of a generalisation. How many league places was it? If you continue to improve season on season, and start to finish above us regularly then I will maybe concede your point, but remember that last season you didnt win for months, and had one of the lowest goals...
It would be admin 3 if it happens. What would have happened if Mr Bloom had not come along? You being shafted by previous owners is not dissimilar to us, but we didnt have quite as rich a supporter to come along and gift us money to change the infrastructure
Palace have said they are...
Yep, says what I intended it to say, in my mind thats not a huge achievement, but you clearly disagree as is your right
I guess supporting rival teams, we have rose tinted glasses, and will not agree on these types of debates
