38 Years On

[papajaff]

Another Palace knob looking for attention. Go out and do something. It's a fun world out there.

Think about it...you were the 5th best team in the championship when you went up...If you can do it, the CHAMPIONS should be able to!

Sadly for you it doesn't work like that...

Sadly for you it doesn't work like that...

We will do it the RIGHT way...NOT the 'Palace' way!

 

[Eeyore]

Well played Brighton, you're finally in with a shout of claiming that Division 2 title that we pipped you to in 1979.

Thanks to the excellent Mr Hughton and the limitless backing of Tony.

Enjoy the festivities for hard earned promotion.

Thanks, Del.

Sorry to inform you that the three points for a win system has been back dated to 1979.

This means that you actually finished fourth- missing out to Stoke City by virtue of goals scored.

It also means we went up as champions.

By making huge losses every season? OK

Oh dear.....

Very interesting to see how the Palace/Brighton thing plays out over the next few years.

We are obviously odds on to have much the better of things but the joy of it is you never know. Palace do have a happy knack of finding a way to keep up.

I don't think this is true. You have a nicer looking stadium, that's about it. We have better players, a better manager and much more financial power than you.

Ner ner ner ner ner........... were you sucking your thumb whilst writing that?

Not really. I just don't get why you think you're in a better position than us.

 

[sparkie]

I think there's more chance of that happening to you. Look at the gap between the 2 teams in terms of quality on the pitch, where it matters. You're in for a rude awakening chaps.

Combined with SEVENTH Season Syndrome we are surely DOOMED.

And if your American owners pull the plug, you can go into Admin again!

I think because whilst you have sqaundered 5 years of riches on a bit of cladding,and overpriced players. we sqaundered ours on building a ne3w state of the art acadamy and training ground, a purpose built stadium, and it can not be denied this is due to the wonderful Mr Bloom, at least the club has a structure about it. Will we struggle? yes, will we come down next year , possibly. But our benefactor has freely and willingly given his time, money and as far as I am aware, that is perfectly withing the rules. Your lot however basically swindled an awful lot of people out of an awful lot of money(twice) to get where you are. I know which club I would rather support

Better players - so you should having been in receipt of Premier League riches for a few years now. However you also have some utter dross that you have and are massively overpaying for.

Better manager - I don't believe you would find a single Albion fan who would take a swap of Allardyce for Hughton. We are delighted to have the quiet, under-stated, humble, modest and utterly professional manager we have. If you are happy with what you have, then good for you - you're welcome to him.

More financial power - There won't be much in it now we've finally gained promotion to Richville. We're pretty much starting from scratch now which, if nothing else, means we don't have the overpaid dross sitting on our books that you do.

Of course we have some dross (as does every club) but our starting X1 is looking pretty formidable now. A few signings in key areas in the summer will make that and the squad a lot stronger.

I'm delighted with Allardyce, he virtually guarantees you stay up in the Premier League every year. Hughton is a nice bloke but a proven failure at Prem level.

Of course there is a huge gap in the finances. We have spent 4 years in the top league and we have American Investors who are minted.

All of this in spades. I'd think twice about swapping useless Sami for Fat Sam, let alone CH - his post-match speech to staff, with that utter bedlam going on outside yesterday could't paint a clearer picture of him. The last similarly unofficial vid I saw of FS was him explaining how he could circumvent FA rules for a fat fee.

Don't see Tony looking for any kind of payback soon, so the pot for purchases and wages will be pretty healthy

I'm delighted with Allardyce

So you should be. You could not possibly have a more appropriate manager for your club.

He did nothing wrong, FACT

Someone else can deal with your misguided comments about the clubs’ respective finances.

But as for Hughton being a proven failure at Premier League level…how is he? Newcastle were twelfth in the Premier League when Mike Ashley sacked Hughton. Norwich were clear of the drop zone when Delia wielded her spatula and sent Hughton packing. Has any team of Hughton’s ever been relegated from the Premier League?

Based on what?
