Crystal Palace can be the Manchester United of the south

[Hugo Rune]

You have a load of divers in your team. Knockaert, Kayal etc. POT, KETTLE, BLACK

We may have a player or two who go down a little too easy (not in the same diving league as Haha) but you've named two players renowned for staying on their feet. Check out our last minute winner vs Forest last season as an example, Haha would have dived with at least 3 of the challenges Knockaert faced in the box:

Whether you like it or not, we have the potential to be a huge club, we are now an established side in The Premiership after 4 seasons of staying up, the catchment area is massive and the American owners are minted.

With Fat Sam at the helm and the players we have (Cabaye, Remy, Benteke, Zaha, players you could only dream of having) we should be safe from relegation this season and look to really push on next year into the top half.

Same old same old sht

Oooh, just looked it up and notice the that the fixture has a whole Wikipedia page to itself. And they were the team of the "9 - 0's"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_9%E2%80%930_Crystal_Palace_(1989)

There's a page on wiki about this as well.



Add in reaching the fa cup final in 90 and I'm none to sure what you are gloating about.

I seem to recall you guys choked in the playoff final that year as well...

I will really piss myself laughing if you lot blow it again.

Not half as much as I will if the team destined for Europe drops into the Championship with all these over paid stars like Townsend, Sako and Wickham

You must be mistaken, that would never happen surely?

Won't happen, that I am absolutely confident of now that soppy bollocks has gone.

You'll not be able to reply to this post, but I don't doubt you will be laughing big time if we don't get promoted. As we would if the positions were reversed.

However:

1. This thread is not about Brighton. It's also not about whether Brighton will get promoted or not. It's about Palace being the Manchester United of the South.

2. No rational Albion fan will think we're anywhere near close to being promoted yet. Yes, we're hopeful, but there's a bloody long way to go in one of the most competitive leagues in the world. Also, as you may be aware, we've been well placed before and not made it.

Hey these wonderful stars at Palace have been choking all season don't you think?

Laugh all you like. Our worst case is another season of actually winning matches. Your worst case scenario doesn't really bare thinking about now does it?

Bet your good at pissing yourself, as I remember the toilets at your hovel of a ground are that bad that one would rather piss themselves than pay a visit

Are they spiking the Ribena at Shathurst with weapons grade LSD? Wake up son, you lot are 4 points off the bottom of the PL and unless you pull off a miracle at Arsenal and other results go your way, you will be in the drop zone. Who do you think Fat Sam is, Dumbledore?

Benteke

Worth every penny.

Of course, I should remember that Benteke played for Liverpool.

Does anyone know how the Palace fans' campaign to have him banned is progressing?

Perhaps the points fine will now go to palace ?

If it costs them a European spot there will be an uproar.

During the Premier League game on Sunday 6th March 2016 between Crystal Palace and Liverpool in the 94th minute Liverpool player Christian Benteke DIVED to con the refereeing officials to award Liverpool with a penalty which subsequently won them the game.

According to the football association or "FA" diving or "simulation" is against the rules.

We, fans of Crystal Palace, demand that the FA look into this decision and if found that Christian Benteke did simulate contact he should be banned for a number of games and Liverpool Football Club "LFC" to be fined 6 points at a minimum.

We understand that the result of the game cannot be changed but the FA need to come down on this sort of behaviour.

Hilarious stuff, this thread gets better and better.

If you were to replace Benteke with Zahaha do you think at least 30 clubs would have cause to take their own action?
