The Embarrassments of Crystal Palace FC

[making plans for nigel]

how about
1. Team of the 80's boast before getting relegated press gave us that tag
2. After getting relegated to the second tier, playing to 4000/5000 crowds in the 80s. Same as you
3. In the late 80s and 90s playing long ball football when at the same time copying barca's kit. Finished 3rd in top division
4. Writing virgin all over barca's kit. World brand based in sussex
5. Unlike us never winning a major trophy sussex cup don't count
6. Reaching the fa cup final.. But only years after we had got there, and when they did spend two games hoofing the ball in the air. One of the best finals ever,just after one of the best semi finals ever
7. Having a "demonstration" in the city only to be laughed out of town - not exactly albion v york was it lads? Got us saved
8. Failing to sell out selhurst for games against us their main rival, or millwall or west ham. On police advice,no tickets on general sale
9. Being proud of an academy which has a major boast of producing a player that sits on the bench at wigan brought through more academy players to pro level in the league
10. Having a nickname of "the double glazier salesman".. Sorry the glaziers, then going all american and calling themselves eagles for no apparent reason. The legacy of malcolm allison, a true football visionary
11. Appointing mullery as manager, a bloke who had told them they were not worth £5. Mullery wasn't worth 2 bob
12. Oooh aaah eric cantona french wankah
13. Having a drum to try and generate an atmosphere i'll give you that one
14 playing goal music not heard too much this season tbh
15... The list is endless

. Carry on then

 

[El Presidente]

[Captain Sensible]

[Working class pride]

. Carry on then

As you wish..

22. Knowing sod all about football history and not knowing that the Albion won the Charity Shield in the days when Southern Champions played League Champions for the title Champions of England.
23. Not having any history of your own worth talking about
24. Losing 9-0 in a kit that would have looked at home on Thunderbirds
25. Worshiping Steve Coppell, whose gift to football was to join Dave Bassett and Graham Taylor in destroying English football for a decade by embracing the long ball game.
27. Henry Houghton
28. The cringeworthy "Fanatics" with their drum.
29. Being kept in for your own safety at home.
30. Failing to sell out all season.
31. Running out to a sh!t Noddy 70s pop song "Glad all over" instead of something class like Sussex by the Sea, a song that our forebears went to war with.
32.. The evidence of Noddy Palace just goes on and on and on

37- Zaha would grace the Nou Camp

The FULL 2p in the pound eh? How f***ing gracious of you.

And no, no he wouldn't. Even as a wind-up that's an absolutely ridiculous statement.

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

Zaha would grace the Nou Camp? Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Oh my days.

hahahahahahahahahaha!

The only way he'd get on the Nou Camp would be as a mascot.

I realise you are being tongue in cheek but at least try to keep it within the realms of some sort of reality,
