Not the Glenn Murray of 5 season ago - but still a good acquisition for any Championship club.
Good luck Glenn - even for Brighton.
Palace Legend - wish him well wherever he is at.
LOL - you must be desperate if actually think that.
Glenn didn't snub Palace to go to our rivals (for free!) and then score the goals to get them to the Prem. Along the way rubbing salt intoi the wound by scoring against us (FFS Murray!)
Apart from that and the fee we got for him - yeah...
LOL ..... sorry I forgot about Brighton's "golden era" of the early 80's (I suspect there wouldn't be too many Brighton fans who can remember it either)
Maybe you did - it was a great fight to the death in the Championship this year.
It's all subjective - our league form after Christmas was dire which was frustrating but coupled with the FA Cup run and final (even though we lost) - it made for a memorable season. I wouldn't have swapped it ...
Any team finishing 15th will need to review, discuss and react.
Any team finishing 3rd would be fairly happy (even if they did lose for the 3rd time at the semi final stage).
There's no big surprises there.
The common denominator is that we'll both be hoping to do better next season.
Nobody got humiliated - apart from in the minds of some rival fans wanting to believe that (ok, excluding the Pardew shuffle)
And starting a new season afresh in the Premier League is where you'd love to be.
Even though he ****ed up a few play on decisions, Clattenburg didn't lose it for us - Utd were the better team on Saturday. Now that the emotional mist has gone, most Palace fans would acknowledge that.
He is a grandstanding **** of a ref though and we've been on the wrong side of bad decisions...
LOL - It was quite effing embarrassing to be honest. Even in the aftermath of our goal, seeing him do that on the big screen at Wembley made me cringe (and think we were now jinxed).
It's great to gloat - we've become experts at it thanks to Brighton's play-off exploits these past years.
So...
LOL .
Probably less painful than being in a position of NOT being able to gloat for the last 15-20 YEARS!! ......... and counting.
(thanks for acknowledging the natural order of things though)
