FA Cup - The Road To Wembley - We Made it to The Final

Luton, Everton, Palace, the entire Big Six, Match of the Day's producers, presenters and pundits, Brexiteers (for most of us), Remainers (for a few of us), and anyone whose grammar is a bit iffy.

But we hate nicely.

 

You didn't mention Lee Mason....

 

Phew!

 

It'll be Probert then!

 

You don’t like us because South London is deprived. Just a bit strange not to mention very snobbish. It also depends what part of south London you are talking about. It’s quite a big area with millions of people living in it...

 

Most palace fans will hate many of the people you have mentioned as well . Pulis, Pardew and Dowie. I was never keen on Holloway and in hindsight he cost us a place in the automatic promotion spots, although I don’t remember the play offs going badly...

 

I think you know full well who are rivals are you scamp.

But on the basis that Millwall are already rivals with West Ham - then why not Leyton Orient? Why not Charlton?

Or why not force yourselves into Millwall’s consciousness like Leeds and Birmingham have done at stages over the years?

There are many reasons why your rivalry with Brighton is odd when their are more local clubs who it should be. So I will take your tongue-in-cheek posts at face value and grace them with the same humour - but to accuse us of creating this fake rivalry and stoking the flames is just ridiculous.

 

I agree the rivalry with Brighton to many outsiders seems odd. It is odd. I don't think anyone tries to argue that it's a local 'derby', the two clubs just have a mutual hatred of each other. Leyton Orient isn't really anywhere near us and we hardly ever play them so that would be a bit silly. Charlton are Charlton, when we play them it's always tasty as is Palace v millwall and Millwall v Charlton. Palace and Millwall both look down on Charlton in a way because they actually have no other rival to go to and none of us two care enough about them...

 

Would offer the pre match pub lunch by the Cam option which, of course, isn't available chez Kennel.

Worth a forum poll on CU as new, upgraded rivals?

 

"...They even changed their kit colours from yellow and red to a different shade of yellow with black the moment Dortmund re-emerged in Europe..."

Wasn't that extra set of kit our compo from the Sancho deal?

No mention of new nets.

 

'Not famous' is the only factually sound statement on the forum this month.

 

Long way from the Cam to the ground though.

 

You could argue that you were going to be the Team of the 80s, & then we came along.

Potential grounds for rivalry?

 

The Crystal Palace Triangle is rather chi chi.

 

An expert punt handler could shoot the rapids by the Fort St George & get within striking distance.

The 83 place gap between the two teams might be more difficult to bridge.

 

It certainly is... gentrification I guess??

 

Deprived my arse.

You Stripey Nigels are just as likely to come from Surrey commuter towns as sarf London.

I've known 3 Palace supporters down the years; one was a buyer, one was an estate agent, and one was a HR director.

 

BT sport documentary coming soon about 'Crystal Palace, the team of the 80's'

 

Progress, arguably.

 

Sounds a bit Partridge, to the twenty first century ear.

 

Liquid football!

 

I’ve hated Palace ever since they had the temerity to pair Andrew Johnson with Clinton Morrison, creating a partnership up top that you’d struggle to ever beat for combined level of wrong’un-ness.

 

Somebody. Kill. Me.

 

Both were prolific for Palarse but much less so anywhere else. Morrison, for instance, scored once for Exeter in 45.

Andrew ‘Andrew’ Johnson started at L*t*n.

Morrison was another of the Townsend Irish, born in Too’ing.

 

Maybe they aren't going to give us a referee for this match? Let the players make their own decisions and when they disagree they go to VAR, can't be worse that any actual ref!

Cr*p.

 

That's a fair point, I know 2 Palace fans, one runs his own successful business and one is on the TV, neither live anywhere close to Palace

 

What a wonderful & amusing thread. Cheers.

Roll on Saturday. Egg & chips for breakfast.

(I am not moog)

 

Only the true Messiah denies his divinity!

 

I know 2 CP fans and both are very nice chaps. Neither of them the types to wear funny looking masks to games. Also, one of them used to work in the Brighton ticket office and found this quite amusing.

 

I'm not completely against wearing masks to football for certain fans.
When they banned players from wearing a 'snood' I couldn't watch Match of the Day whilst Tevez was plying his trade in this country in case I'd gip up my omelette & french fries.

 

The bloke who sits behind me (and has done so for at least 15 years) used to be a Palace fan but changed allegiances about 20 years ago when he moved to leafy Hertfordshire.
