Palace or Sunderland

[Gritt23]

Are there still people who genuinely give a shit what happens to Sunderland?

I do. I hope they do fantastically well. I make no apology for not being part of the "how dare they leave / think anywhere is better than here" who then wish the very worst on anyone who does so. Quite the reverse, I absolutely LOVED the Gus days, and would go back to those days in a heartbeat, while watch Buckley and Bridcutt play was an absolute joy. I wish them all the success in the World.

These.



I'm looking forward to the OP posting the question as to whether or not we will be dancing on Peter Ward's grave because he once looked at him slightly funnily after an REMF match.

Fair enough. Free speech albeit twisted logic, ignoring facts and reading too much into the question.

Apart from the fact Albion have sold numerous players over the years, and I can't think of many who left under a cloud you've managed to suggest someone who actually came back from Forest. By the way, I can't recall people cheering when those 'inconsistent' players got poached by Sunderland [obviously a coincidence they went to Sunderland]

So what though. You clearly have no idea what Palace means to us ( and just as much vice versa).

Poyet was sacked following a dossier assassination on him instigated by certain people at the club who make the ECB's witch hunt of KP seem like a vicar's tea party.

I like most Palace fans I meet, but loathe their football team, that's what a rivalry should be. A short term binfest with another club with which we have very little in common means nothing compared to seeing Palace lose.

These are my instincts ......... then I think about wanting Gus wanting to get away and unsettling the ship before the end of that season ................. and it all feels a little tainted.

And it was a joy watching Buckley and Bridcutt ....... but the downing of tools again left a bad taste.

I wish I were able to only think of the good times - because they were great.

Oooh. Was there a DODGY DOSSIER ?

I'm actually going to the game tonight. #bebold

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Ebola strikes the dressing room via bodily fluids being left on the dressing room's floor, it inevitably spreads through the holmesdale and the whole of South London is then quarantined in a 28 weeks later style exclusion zone.

Exclusion might improve the place.

This, in buckets.

It could well be argued that we are paying a very hefty price for not being able to manage him - and his occasionally slightly difficult behavior, nothing more than that as far as we've been told - properly and professionally in order to accommodate his excellence as a football manager and his ability to attract terrific players. Instead, the club pressed the nuclear button and simply engineered him out of the way. I'm delighted he's done well there, on the whole. He deserves it.

 

[melias shoes]

Why the f*** would I want palace to win? Ever?

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Hoping Gus takes the three points and continues on a winning streak, he would still be here if given the cash to do a decent job.

 

[el punal]

Points deduction as well..15 points a piece

I'll go with that! Unfortunately my start of season prediction for relegated teams from the Premier League was Burnley (sorry Clarets!), QPR (going down to the Conference!) and yes, you've guessed it . . . . !!!

 

[Icy Gull]

....and Ward scored the winner at the Goldstone for Forest in a league game.

Worse than that he is also a United fan

 

[Return of the Rev]

Palace all day long!

 

[matbha]

Palace all day long!

I hate the scum that is palace

 

[Caveman]

I can not ever recall a time when I have wanted Pal@se to win?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I can not ever recall a time when I have wanted Pal@se to win?

26th April 2003. We needed Palace to beat Stoke to have a chance of survival in Division Two. We were busy thumping Watford 4-0 when news filtered through that Abebola had scored a late goal to put Palace one nil up.

Someone heard the result on the wireless and the south stand went absolutely mental. "1-0 to the Palace Scum" drifted out of the tree theatre and stirred John Catt.

I merely ask the question. A lot of fans were/are anti Poyet. I was at the Palace FA cup game in 1976, and when we got thumped in the league 3-1 same year, a 00 draw a couple of seasons later, the 3-0 Boxing day event, the John Gregory 3-0 win, and D Wilson 2-0 wins at Palace. The one where there was about 6 penalties at Palace in the 80s, plus a few others. I don't hate them and I don't hate Gus. It's not a war.

Bit like asking if you want a cup of warm sick or cold sick.

A sensible answer, not reading too much into the question and making assumptions. Well done lad!
