This is a fair post - much more so than the OP.
No one can doubt your infrastructure (travel nightmares aside) and you'll probably be fairly big spenders again in January, whereas we won't. Potential? Yes, no question.
My take is that it was both teams' cup final (and I'm amazed it's not...
I understand this viewpoint, but now that the club owns Selhurst Park again I feel that we are on a much better footing than when Simon Jordan bought the club. CPFC2000 were doomed to failure without the ground.
In all honesty I think another relegation battle is likely, even if we get the CVA...
Morning all.
Buzzer, fair enough that you mention your FA Cup r/u (but the question was actually about the last 20 years). Obviously neither of our teams were able to get our hands on the cup, but at least we didn't get dicked 4-0 in our replay.
Let's face it the ZDS and the Charity Shield are...
Like any other board it'll depend on the quality of your posts.
dougdeep is pretty well respected there - as were Simster and Barrell of Fun (haven't seen them on there for a while).
Hitler on the other hand (NHM), posts a load of juvenile crap that he tries to pass off as banter. It's a shame...
I'd like to add my best wishes to Gerry.
Holmesdale.net is full of kids, no excuse I know. I'd like to think those that would post on a childish thread like that aren't representative of the majority of us Palace fans.
You've now mentioned Swindon as the team to catch in two separate threads and have been misquoting their points total.
You do know they won away on Tuesday don't you?
They are now on 44 - though they have played 39.
Leeds finished 4th that season, behind the big three (Arsenal, Liverpool and Palace ;)).
It was the following season that they won the title. They invested wisely (obviously Cantona being the main plus) and moved up three places - Palace bought Lee Sinnott, dropped seven places, and the rest...
I don't agree. The '79 championship clicher :bowdown: is too extreme an example to make with the mid-eighties low gate.
It's like comparing your Cardiff play-off final turn out with a Tuesday night wet weather game, with the likes of Cheltenham, at Withdean.
That would look pretty fickle.
Good old pro rata to back you up eh? You said 'as diverse'. Percentages weren't mentioned.
Manchester City have similar stats from the mid-sixties. A low gate of 8k vs Swindon.
Actually, I've misled you a bit here. It's actually more because one of the scorers (Aldridge) was a sub.
You could re-word it to say name the five from the squad of thirteen - and then include David Burrows and Jan Molby. Burrows started and Molby was the other sub.
1-name the 3 players who did not score for Liverpool in the 9-0 defeat of Crystal Palace in 1989? Hansen, Grobbelaar, Whelan
2-Who scored the winning goal in the 1990 FA cup final replay? Lee Martin
3-Which former Palace goalscoring legend moved clubs and then relegated them on the last day of...
