Just out of interest, when people add "Loyal" to their name, what does it actually mean? Loyal to the royal family? Loyal to the Empire? Loyal to 17th century attitudes?
Surely not having people pissing in the street should be a priority for a local council? Although Western Road is a dump and needs tarting-up wouldn't that money be better spent on toilets, street cleaning and grafitti busting?
Come onboard talented Irish lads... you'll get a chance at The Albion unlike at Arsenal/Chelsea/Liverpool, etc. and live in a fun city; what's not to like?
Wise words Vicar, and I'm sure that when you cover this in your sermon on Sunday to the seven people in your congregation those who are still awake will wholeheartedly agree...
Generally on the road Liverpool fans get dog's abuse from opposition fans but I'm pleased to say that when they come to The Amex we don't do this. I reckon it's because we have a lot more class than London/Manchester fans.
I can't say I've ever heard it used against us, and if you asked the less sensitive fans at most clubs they would only associate "Rent Boys" with Chelsea. I'm not going to spend much time feeling sorry for The Pensioners though...they've got a very higher proportion of obnoxious gits in their...

This is what it's all about for me... it's only Tuesday and that pre-match excitement is already beginning for the visit of one of the great clubs of world football. It would be great to beat them, not because I hate them like I do Chelsea, but because Liverpool is a yardstick to measure where...
I agree with this; I loathe Chelsea way more than Palace and want THEM to have a terrible time. If Potter happens to be the manager during this period then that's just his tough luck...
I don't think we have settled on a satisfactory derogatory name for Palace; Millwall call them Nigels, but anyone is posh compared to someone from Bermondsey/New Cross. "Pikeys" never caught on, because lets face it as many of their fans come from Purley as New Addington. So I suggest "Croydon...
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....
