I've not actually read any of this thread beyond the first couple of posts, but I can only say that the OP, from the usual research I do when we get an oft-posting newbie, is certainly not a Palace wanker.
Are there cliques?
I thought NSC was the least cliquey it has ever been.
I don't include my own personal clique in that obviously, but I appreciate that they just pretend to like me for gossip on transfers and finding out which Albion players got asked to leave the hotel in Vegas.
