This. Palace and BHA are in the trenches together in this skewed league, as much as that doesn't sit well with the pantomime rivalry narrative. Proper fans who support their local club when many living up there would be an Arsenal or Chelsea plastic.
Can't get up the enthusiasm to hate Chelsea...
That the likes of Wigan, Swansea and Portsmouth have all won major domestic silverware during the Premier League era does mean it can be done, but it's looking less and less likely. Just looked at 2012's League Cup final, 2-2 at full time, Cardiff losing on penalties to Liverpool.
If I had 6p for every time the Sheffield f***ing Wednesday atmosphere was mentioned, or Withdean, or Hereford or playing the likes of Mansfield etc.
:lolol: :ffsparr:
Deffo time to give Cocaine Codner the number 10 shirt back, Stat.
One of our ex keepers from the far north of Europe also had a penchant for the old white stuff.
Sod that, it's about time some of us sad cases got a life and got off here once and for all. Getting NSC shut down would be the gift/blessing none of us knew we needed. Names below please, and we can all chip in for the legal fees on a sliding scale (i.e. the bigger the profile of the player you...
Begs the question - how do top six plastic supporters (aka CLAMS - Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester Sellouts) manage to generate any genuine sense of caring about their team's results when they are just a successful big club often selected at random. Equally, how do Rangers and Celtic...
^ unless I imagined both, in one scene Marge uses a self-adhesive stamp, which weren't around then, and when the Inspector interviews Ripley the first or second time he refers to the wrong person, either Dickie or Tom, when it should have been the other, and not as a bluff either.
So many people watch whole televised matches that don't involve their club, while, like you, I've just no interest if it's not BHA, and the 3 minute potted highlights of those other games are enough, and even those I tend to forward through.
Which is why all BHA should be wanting City to win, out of sight out of mind and no one gives a shit about City in the grand scheme, just a northern irrelevance, ownership and finance model notwithstanding. I'd emigrate to Polegate if either Arsenal or Pool win it, it would be so unbearable.
Palace all the way in this one, the Liverpool narrative is so bloody nauseous, whether it's SKY, the BBC, whoever. They'll probably be a national day of mourning if they don't win the league, not to mention Sussex Liverpool plastics everywhere. The Palace rivalry is a pantomime, the Liverpool...
