Can we stop all this Palace and Zaha nonsense. We're both 2 teams punching above our weight. One of my best friends is a Palace fan and in my experience the overwhelming majority of them are very friendly and passionate about their team. It seems to me that on both sides there is a sociopathic noisy minority who get their kicks spouting anonymous garbage.
Very probably. I never enjoyed Sykes but, as it was the 70s & there was nothing else on, I did occasionally watch it.
Besides the racism is just so unimaginative. He has ******* massive sticky out eyes surely take the piss out of them ?
That may very well be the case, but do our away fans generally sing that [insert opposition player here] is a c**t as they started doing on Sunday? Zaha got a lot of abuse but don’t think it got to this cultured level.
If we magically did somehow manage to beat Spurs we're basically safe already. 11 wins kept us up in 17/18 & 16/17. 8 more needed from 35 games - insane to think about that really.
Shame they don't seem very friendly on their site - wishing bad injury on Capoue and saying we are a team of thugs who will have players sent off each week now. Did the Burnley fans make such a fuss the other week when Hughes put in a nasty looking tackle ? Or did it not matter as it wasn't Burnley's best player and not early on. .
Sorry if this has been mentioned on here before, but does anyone have any idea what Bobs Pac Man goal celebration is all about?
Actually, slowly, I am beginning to agree. The Palace fans that I encountered in the pub, were quite a decent and friendly bunch in all fairness. I know we have played Palace in some very important games in recent history, but does that deserve all this animosity. As for Zaha, as I see it, after the tackle by Capoue, he could have rolled over and over, in an attempt to get our man sent off, but he just got up, and got on with it. I don't think he is malicious in any way, and to be fair, he is a very good Player, has been known to dive, and cheat a bit, but he is one of many, and we have had our fair share in all honesty.
Exactly, LOCAL derby, there are a fair few clubs that are closer to us than Palace. Ipswich is a fair way from Norwich agreed, but it is by far their closest league club.
I work with a couple of Palace fans and they are fine. Aside from an unwise Hodgson raising the Harry nonsense uneccessarily before the match there is no justification for all the vitriol. Capoue should have been sent off but it was more petulent than really nasty. Don't agree we had any agenda to kick them off the park and they were just as physical. We need to be more balanced about these things as we both rode and made our own luck on Sunday. Just enjoy the moment as the next game will be a proper test of our credentials.
Oh yes, of course, I forgot about them. In and out of the league, just like our rivals up the road, so I should have remembered.
Get in YOU HORNS , Absolutely great . I think we could do a top 8 finish maybe 7th . A few things need to go right to achieve that . Not many injury’s to key players , And goals coming from more than two or three main players . We seem to not switch of so much at the back now , like no falling asleep when we go 1 -0 ahead like we used too. Add a few coming back from injury and maybe femenia come back and I think we could do it .
That's right! I remember seeing him in what my brother Laurence would call 'old films',generally playing a public servant. I did as a little IBB. As I recall,Derek Guyler played the policeman.'Corky' with his helmet off, PC Turnbull with it on! Hattie Jaques too and being a big Hancock fan, I knew of her,even as a pre teen.
That's it, isn't it? It's just like a pantomime: Highly exaggerated over-reactions to mostly imagined villainy. Luckily, I'm above all that - except for that **** Zaha, obviously.
I've got a stigmatism and I don't do that. Mind you I don't run around at very great speeds and then fall over either. 1,2,3... cue letter bombs arriving from Croydon.
Even Troy said on talksport that the clubs are rivals now. Head on over to the team bus for a summary of his interview.
Which is another thing that worked in our favour, because had Zaha been reduced to one leg, then the slightest contact in the box would have taken him down, and there’s not a ref in the country that would have carded him for it.
