Why the hatred??

[SurreySeagulls]

Can't stand them. Always hated them always will and now those stupid inbreds down the coast have a Palace looky likey top, I hate them even more than I did before and that includes them and those north london pikeys for fixing the draw in 1978 to deny us the promotion that was ours!!!!!

I don't hate Palace at all. My Dad was a Palace fan, his Dad was a Palace fan and my mum was a Palace fan - they're my family team.

UP THE PALLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

EDIT: And I'm from the Croydon area.

up the pale? Palace fans must be racist!



In all seriousness, I do not hate Crystal Palace either, many of their fans are supporters because they were brought up to support Crystal Palace from their parents, who were brought up by their parents. Most are alright, just like most Brighton fans are alright. Its those few idiots who hate each others guts who should be taunted and hated.

sorry but I HATE PALACE

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I detest Spurs as much as Palace. The only two teams I loathe in the grand scheme of footballing things.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Afternoon all,

I've been an Albion fan for about 10 years, though Spurs are my first team. Now I, like the next guy dislike Palace, but not for any particular reason....mainly just because they are Palace.

It's pronounced 'pally', a bit like the way some people call Alexandra Palace 'Ally Pally'. In the old days (and I'm going back before the second world war here) Palace were called 'The Pally' as a sort of nickname. 'Up the paleeeee!' was something similar to going 'Seeeeeeeeeeeee gulls!' and extending the 'e' sound.

Also my Dad said that when he went out to play football in the street with his friends someone would kick the ball in the air and they'd all shout out 'Up the Paleeeee!' and keep the 'e' sound going until the ball came down again and bounced. He did the same to me when I was a boy and was MOST put out to learn that I hadn't carried on the tradition with my kids! I wonder if any Palace fans still do it?


There. I'm sure you all really wanted to know that!

 

[smudge]

God, not another, "what are the origins of the rivalry, why do we hate Palace so much?" thread.

Please.

 

[Sam Ovett]

My bus driver is a Palace supporter, and because the banter is so good he lets me on even if I haven't got enough change...

The rivalry is a good thing! Shame they stayed up

 

[WhingForPresident]

I dislike them, but nowhere near as much as I hate Reading, Southampton and United

 

[sir albion]

I still hate palace but never playing them doesn't help

I dispise portscum

 

[Blackadder]

During the war palace were allies with the Germans.

 

[kevtherev]

Henry Hughton, Ron Noades, Simon Jordan, Jim Cannon, The 70s etc etc etc, the list goes on and on, WANKERS!!!

 

[Silent Bob]

This.

I have tried to hate Palace, I really have, but I still find the likes of Man United, Chelsea etc etc FAR more deserving of hatred than Palace ever will be. Those clubs are everything that is wrong with modern football. Palace, and their supporters, quite simply aren't.

That whole 'penny in the pound' thing was just fun and games then?

 

[cunning fergus]

Its seemingly an age thing, but then football was different back then including this rivalry which was so intense compared with other games you could literally taste the hatred matchdays.

They were usually fun, frightening and sickening all in one day and if you never experienced that roller coaster ride then I am not surprised you feel nothing about Palace.

I f***ing hate the c*nts by the way.

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

dont we miss it

Yup. Top quality ranting.

 

[Ecosse Exile]

Its ok to have a kind of grudging respect for SOME of their fans, after all they help out with the REMF every summer, but dont forget they are ALL smelly and have spots FACT (probably)

Always hate CR***A* P*****

 

[wellquickwoody]

They f***ed up the tarmac on my drive, and they slow the traffic flow during holiday periods.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

If you are a BHA then you hate palace and if you live in the west of sussex you equally hate portsmouth.

Thay are our two real rivals.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

is the right answer.
