Players please read - Re: Palace

[The Large One]

We the suporters know you work your arses off for our club. You have to suffer the ground, crap wages, and constantly being told you are gay, just like us!

Most of us think that you are better than bottom of the table, and we have the greatest confidence that we will stay up, but for now all that can wait.

On Tuesday night it is THE BIG ONE. You may not understand the rivlary between us and Palace, why should you. Its steeped in history, and runs through the blood of every Albion fan. And I am asking you to give it everything. Two years ago 5000 fans went to Selhurst full of hope and came home humiliated. The team that night showed no passion, no commitment, no heart. We the supporters then suffered nearly three hours of being treated like refugees, being herded half way round South London, just to get home. It was the worst of nights.

However all that can be forgotten. Tuesday night is the chance to put some pride back into the support. You know we the supporters will be giving it everything and we ask you to do the same. If we can come away with a win and some revenge for two years ago we will be more proud of you then ever before.

Come on you seagulls, we are keeping the faith...

I do know that Paul Camillin, Tim Dudding, Trevor Watson and others regularly read this board. However, I would still email this empassioned plea to them. You never know, it may have an effect...

It's quite funny that Palace have a thread like this on their site.

It's quite funny that Palace have a thread like this on their site.

The way they're playing, I expected them all to believe it's a foregone conclusion.

Be honest here, is anyone else worried, given the way we're playing, their form and our recent results....

oh sod it, come on lads do us proud.

Or at least don't lose 5-0 (funny how the Palace fans crap on incessantly about that, and forget that they couldn't actually beat us the last time we played them...).

 

[Albion Dan]

I have to say I cant ever remember feeling quite as depressed at the prospect of playing Palace as I do about Tuesday night. Just hope something sorts itself out because it looks like we'll get slaughtered on current form.

 

[Halftime Oranges]

come on the lads

 

[Napper]

Clean slate Tuesday. 100% into every header , challenge. Lets win the 50 50's and get into them for the entire 90 minutes. We'll be behind you non stop . Stay focused , ride your luck and we may just may pull off a miracle

They were bloody lucky not to lose as I recall!!!

Come on the Albion. This is the one WE WANT.

 

[Billingshurst Eagle]

It is never a foregone conclusion with Palace.

If we score first you've hadit - FACT!

If you score first the best we will manage is a draw - FACT.

The statistics will bear me out here.

Having said all that - we are gonna stuff you so badly, you're gonna feel like a kwik-save turkey.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Oi players!

Stop reading the interweb and get to training, lazy shits, especially you foreigns!

 

[3gulls]

[Race]

[Giraffe]

Oh bollocks yes three years ago, and yes it was the afternoon but by the time I got on the bloody train it was night time!!

But f*** all that, f*** the lot of it, please god let us win, fluke 1-0, last minute scrambled goal off Gary harts arse or something. Anything, but please let us win!!!!!!!
