Do rows N to AB come with a mandatory dress code of black?

@dazzer6666 Thanks for uploading that. It's an absolute belting watch and has further brightened an already sunny Sunday morning!

….even the vlogger didn’t stay until the end.

That is absolutely beautiful

Context is everything.

Up until Luton we hadn't been served up a generations worth of shite football in a slum, quite the reverse in fact.

Switch everything and we'd be worse, a few were booing GPotts Albion v Leeds, just 18 months ago.

I've watched plenty of shite football over the years, long spells of dross home and away, and while nothing's as bad as Selhurst we've had more than our share of playing in shite grounds pre-Amex!

Maybe I've got my blue & white specs on, but I don't remember us ever being that way as a fanbase, a few individuals notwithstanding. Again, if we had been, I don't think we would be where we are today.

I think with everything that happened in the 90s we have a different attitude towards our club than some other teams, and that still goes for most of us. Maybe that will shift over time as our demographic and sense of entitlement changes, maybe not.

So switching recent context, no I don't think we'd be the same, most of us anyway. Switch absolutely everything about our history and then yes, obviously - but then we'd be completely different people anyway.

My amateur philosophy Sunday morning musings are boring me now, so I'm going back to laughing at them.

That is SENSATIONAL viewing!
There's something every 30 seconds to enjoy. Honestly if @Mellotron had held off doing his comedy world cup for a few weeks this would have been an incredibly strong contender.

Amidst the chaos and karma there's even an Art Garfunkel lookalike falling asleep standing up(5:05). Brilliant!

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Not wrong.

The unsaid bit about their little flag is that it's hinting that the current regime are letting down a previous proud history of vision and achievement. Palace currently wallow in 14th in the richest league in the world.

The board is obviously letting down a fan base used to success. Over the last two years they were up in 11th & 12th. The three years before that they finished, um 14th. Oh, it seems that 14th is their most regular finishing spot, ending there 4 times in the last ten seasons. The rest of the time, they've been between 10th & 15th.

They are angry when nothing has actually changed for them. They are also rans., but they have been also rans throughout what is actually their longest sustained period in the top division. They've always flirted with relegation form at points in the season and they've always dealt with it by changing manager and reverting to negative percentage low block tactics. The only thing that has changed is existential. Their fans watched last year as our long term strategy to get away from this model paid off with European qualification. Its our success that has these idiots staring across at the verdant grass on the other side and wishing that their owners had the courage to cross the troll bridge.

In truth Palace are not a club in crisis. There are still at least three worse teams in the division and they will just plough on as they have for the last decade. In football terms, they are alright, they are safe, but their fans are looking at what they've got and what they can expect of their future and comparing that with us and believing that their model is a failure. The marvelous truth is that, even before yesterday, it's our success that has broken them.

Not sure if it’s posted, but loving our stewards helping them out.
With a cheeky smile as well, top man.

In fact, if you join together that video with this one…



You can piece together the day out of a very unfortunate Palace fan in a white top and gilet, who goes from offering us out behind the safety of the police, to offering us out from the safety of the fans, to getting stuck into his own players.

It’s a work of art.

I have no time for them but as I said in another thread Palace deservr credit for staying for 10 years plus in PL mostley around half way. Any side out of top ones that is in the PL for that long will always have odd season when relegation is to close for comfort which they are seeing this season. Hopefully we are in PL league as long as them' Personally I think there problem is they pay players far too much which starting with Zaha and this gives fans false expectations.

Some Brighton fans were taking their shirts off and throwing them on the pitch when they did us 5-0 at Selhurst. We never pretended we were some sort of elite set of supporters though.

Great post.

They are worried about being left behind. I’m not sure what else they can realistically expect. An Amex like new stadium in a London post code will bankrupt them. Maybe this new stand will materialise one day.

Perhaps they want some vile sportswashing cash. They need to be careful what they wish for.

Now THIS is the thisiest this in all of the interweb.

 

[B-right-on]

That's really going to help their South American recruitment isn't it?

 

[El Presidente]

People are having a go at Palace fans but that’s harsh.

If I’d paid £90 an hour to watch the Albion and didn’t see them score I’d be angry too.

 

[Munkfish]

Thats f***ing pathetic of them. It’s not like by singing that it takes away our chant. Embarrassing.
