No I am 40 years to old to wear a modern football shirt, although when going to games I do have a couple or retro 50s and 70s shirt, but I would never wear a football shirt outside a football match. The lad I saw was 18 to 25 ish I would guess. But I will add my son in his late 20s who we were...

You could not be more wrong, most of my palace mates are jealous of Brighton playing in Europe, but there it is , well deserved. On being top 4 being a trophy , this is just my opinion, The champions league should be played by the champions and not those who came 4th, how can you be crowned...

With a large pitch of salt that’s how most of us judge it…but in a marketing way it seems to have moved a lot of shirts, in fact I saw one being worn in the Stirling arms a couple of Sundays ago that made me smile. BTW The Stirling arms does a cracking Sunday lunch.

So if Brighton next season go back to their normal 10th to 15th placing is that going to make you dull and boring ? There is a few people on this board who maybe setting themselves up to look a bit silly.

11th

As I have said before, top 10 is the plan with the occasional cup run, Palace have not got the budget for anything more, that’s just reality. You have got to think most seasons there will be. Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, man united, Chelsea, spurs and now Newcastle in the top 10, so most...

I read that with a smirk. What we must remember from your lofty position of qualification for Europe, that Palace for all their woes did finish 11th in what is IMHO the strongest league in the world above past European cup winners. I am old enough to remember watching palace in the 3rd tier...

It could just be “ Respect” maybe the young players look at Roy whose managed all over Europe with some top clubs as someone they could learn something from, if you hear the way they speak about him they clearly like him as a coach and a person….it might not suit your agenda but there it is.

Really! What would you suggest top 6 or top 4, there will always be an outliner season but top 10 finishes is about as good as it gets IMHO.

Sorry but as much as we all wanted Paddy V to succeed, it wasn’t working as they say he had lost the dressing room, he was liked but the tactics were wanting and the players new it. No way with Roy would palace get relegated. As for the wise old man to groom a young manager, I don’t know if it...

I would think most clubs outside the top 5 aim for the season is top 10, Palace ended 11th this season, so just under what most fans would class as a good season. There is no denying that BHA are a few years ahead on the Academy side of it but looking at the league finishing of u23s and all the...

What, like Eze you mean ?

Age is just a number, Roy managed 8 games for us last season palace scored 18 goals in those games, that kept me awake. All joking apart it has surprised me how much the younger players look up to him, they seem to respect him and it showed in those games. I don’t know so could be very wrong...

palace fan here as you know. IMHO, first half of the season with us he was great but not so good after Xmas, runs around a lot but with the ball he does lose possession a lot and often because of that leaves big holes in the midfield. Because of the way he played was quite often blowing out of...

They are truly scum, my mums last Xmas, she sat alone in a home while we decided not to see our children. They must leave office ASAP, there are no words for my utter contempt.

Yea but no but…..the OPs question was “ how many English teams have played in Europe”

Birmingham lost to Roma in in the fairs cup final after crowd trouble caused the match to be called off. Swindon won the Anglo Italian cup 1970 Bristol rovers , Southend, actually loads of teams played in it.

Was there not back in the day, The fairs cup and the Anglo Italian cup ?

I would throw the A22 into that. And maybe the A23 depending if you get off at Godstone or Hooly ?

Good win that 👏
