Palace rivalry piece in today's Times

[On the Left Wing]

It's true now that Crawley are in the league. But why do people seem to think Portsmouth are closer? They're not - they're 5 miles further away.

True... but throughout the 1960s and early 1970s Pompey were our hated derby rivals. Remember a league cup tie in 1968 (I think) when they tried to run the North Stand and a battle of coins ensued as the OB stepped in... then Palace came along.

It strikes me that any idiot can get themselves quoted in the media these days talking something vaguely about football.

I agree with you, blogs, the net, Twitter, Fbk, the media. Everybody has an opinion but these days it's very easy to get that opinion heard.

It strikes me that any idiot can get themselves quoted in the media these days talking about football finances.
