Talk us through your light show, and your goal music, and your drum, and your cheerleaders, and your half time bird show, and your Ultras, and your American owners, and your games helpers, and your 1960s entrance music.

Looking forward to a response on your quote from a representative from the enemy.
They call us Taurquins, but maybe we should find a new suitable name for them.

Lots of you are really getting excited, and why not.
Hopefully if the fortunes change for both clubs, you won't go crying to Bozza to ban us.
Still a long way to go.

And how many Brighton fans can post on your main board?

Good result for your lot today, avoiding defeat to a side two leagues below you.

Still in the hat, and who knows, we may meet.
Hope we don't personally, overkill by the old bill, and civil liberties infringed.
Congratulations on winning the El Plastico today !

After your last week with light shows at the Selhurst bowl whilst firing T shirts into the crowd, I'd be keeping a low profile rather than spouting shit.

Anyone else feeling slightly embarrassed by having Palace as our rivals?

It's like having a middle-aged relative going through a mid-life crisis and continually making a fool of themselves, no matter how many times you try to tell them everybody is laughing at them.

No, don't be silly. Our fortunes will fluctuate, but you should never be embarrassed by your rivals. Embarrassed FOR them at times, but never by them.

Not sure how you managed to skip over the t-shirt cannon there, but you did.

Also: 10,000 supporters magically appearing when Palace reached the Premier League, although it is currently unknown how many of these are merely football tourists, arriving eager to see Premier League football, departing in disbelief that Selhurst Park is a venue in the richest league in the world.

They are NOT plastics or tourists. They have the bestest, loyalist, noisiest fans in football.

In the championship they never got crowds of 14000 or less ever.

Twitter full of tweets about how pleased they are Speroni was recalled and had a great game. Yes, Speroni. Their keeper. MOM against League 1 Bolton apparently.

Is Speroni's restaurant better than Leo's ? ???

I don't think many Albion fans think you'll go down, if that's what you're referring to. It would be nice though...

The general shitness of everything about your club is more than enough for most.

Have you managed to catch a t-shirt yet, by the way?

The season is half way through, let's see how it finishes . You seem to be certain of its outcome .

Let's just be clear young Doogle. Nobody on here had actually said palace are going down - not really. You know you should stay up (hugely odds on) and are trying to make out BHA fans are saying otherwise so when you probably do stay up, you can pretend you won.

Great point at Bolton today mate - I think the European charge has started :thumbsup:

They refer to us as Tarquins and the Weed, the least offensive insults I could ever imagine, is anyone remotely bothered or offended? They are desperately clinging on to the one and only thing they have over us and that is 4th bottom in the Premier League. If they go down I hope they go into financial free fall and slip down the leagues into shitty obscurity like Pompey. But its a big if because despite being so utterly toilet and playing in the most embarrassing shithole of a stadium in the footballing world to a bunch of total morons the other teams in the bottom 3 seem intent on refusing to overtake them.

The bestest loyalist, noisiest fans in football are now wanting a boycott for the cup replay, because the Man U of the south and the 20th richest club in the world, want to charge £20 admission for the Bolton replay.
When will they realize it costs a lot of money to pay for such world class stadiums, players and wages. They really cant go around calling Prince Charming Donner and Blitzen "money grabbing tossers" after all they have done for the mighty high riding Palace. Don't they know, real fans like their owners have to make money out of their investments so that they can put bread on their families tables. So do we add the unreasonablist tag to the loyalist, bestest noisiest fans in the world?

Lovely stuff.

We need more threats of fights between players and fans though.

And how long before there are cut-throat gestures aimed at Fat Sham ?

To be fair, you lot have got form with managers - whether it's your club hiring shit ones, or your fans hounding out or the club disgracefully binning off good ones.

That said, you're spot on here with every single word - especially the last sentence. They are a bunch of scabby jammy chancers who play in probably the most pony "stadium" the Premier league has ever seen, and their fans are a laughing stock who only turn up in the good times. This place is normally crawling with Nigels smugly reminding us of their lofty European and mega stadium destiny. Naturally they are nowhere to be seen now that they are absolute gash - just what you'd expect from the world's best fans and the only ones who know how to generate an atmosphere. :rolleyes:

Pardew's the only manager (that I know of) where the fans have actually hounded him out though, and even then if Palace hadn't hilariously paid actual real life millions for that smug charlatan, Pardew would likely still be at the club. The owner was in no hurry to get rid, the protests and boycotts, while decent, weren't moving either man towards the door and not to get into a "big club" debate, but we were probably the biggest club old Pardiola will ever manage.

We have been spoiled by having a few managers that we loved; Keegan, Robson, Hughton and now Rafa. But mostly we know a wrongu'un when we see him. Keegan failed to get assurances from the board and left after he irreparably damaged his relationship with them, Dalglish was given a fair crack of the whip and had us playing turgid football but it was the trigger happy board that got shot of him, Gullit saw the exit because he lost the bootroom's key men in Shearer, Lee, Barton and Ferguson, Sir Bobby started a season badly and rather than being moved upstairs, he was undermined and disrespected by the board. Souness was fired by the board for mediocre performances, bad football and falling out with players. Roeder did ok, but was only ever seen as an interim manager by the board and fans. Ashley got shot of Allardyce so that he could bring in Keegan to try to win the fans over.

Hughton should never have been replaced by Pardew, the football wasn't great but we were on course to survive in the top flight, the players were loved on the stands and the manager was quietly getting on with his job with minimum fuss despite the owner cutting him off at the knees.

Geordies get a bad reputation in the press, but with a small amount of sense checking, we're nowhere near as bad as we're made out. We just get a disproportionate amount of coverage because we're good for some nonsense to fill column inches.


re: the Palace fans, they seem to have fallen into the same trap as a few; thinking that by virtue of being in the Premier League, they're bigger and better than any club in the Championship. By virtue of their players having Premier League badges on their arm, they're de facto better than Championship players. There isn't a magic portal you pass through on promotion/relegation, a player has to be judged on his own merits, e.g. Knockaert would stroll into their first team, and would likely get into teams like West Brom or Stoke, maybe Everton or Southampton too. Perhaps Dunk would too.

If you were to include the top two teams of the Championship into a 22 team top flight, would we be rock bottom? Would we shite. If you asked an Aldershot fan to name the 20 biggest clubs in England, would Palace feature in that list? Would they shite.

They're having their day in the sun and all power to them, but hubris is vindictive bitch who should be respected.
 


That's the problem, there is so much plasticity, that i struggle to remember it all. Theres the poncey 1970s sash kit as well, we've had some bad ones(stripey shorts, anyone?)but that was a shocker.



No matter how much plastic we've had there's no way we'll ever beat the clappers for the play off semi:lolol:

Kept as souvenir of the occasion just to cheer me up whenever I feel a bit down :whistle:
Cheers me up no end along with watching the Dvd of the game itself :amex: where Palace dreams came true.

Oh yeah the shirt:clap: Perfectly sums you lot up:wave:
