The games are so important to me that when I am reminded we are playing them I actually feel a bit of dread about it. I think I might have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from firstly the 5-0 drubbing at their place then FFS Murray night and of course the shit in the dressing room game.
I actually feel nervous just thinking about it. I would love, completely love, to beat them in both games.
Imagine if we won at their place to relegate them. I struggle to think of anything sweeter.

Great games and look forward to them, although I have to say the hatred spouted by the minority of us and them in the build up rather puts me off. Would love to take my boys to the away game but at 11 & 14 not a chance.
Incidentally most of the people shouting "we hate Palace" etc weren't even born in the 70's, so not sure what the hatred is based on?

Tradition...
Suspect those voting "just another game" are likely to be the younger generation who don't get the reasons behind the rivalry. Those of us of a certain vintage would never view a game against Palace as "just another game".
I would hope that after the shitting in the changing room incident, and the Palace fans attacking their own team coach etc the young 'uns would understand what a classless outfit CPFC is.

guess I'll have to find another rival, start a fight then "we hate 'whatever club" I don't particularly like Stoke, so will keep an eye out for scarfer then"'kick there 'eads in" to justify my hatred.
Get that .... but, when I see and hear people who actually come across as hating someone, just for the team they support, I find it strange. We all know a Palace fan or two who are probably very decent people and would ordinarily get on with, but some actually hate Palace, just something I never have and I'm a 60's kid!

I think the BHA/Palace rivalry is less unusual from our point of view. They are the nearest 'big' club to us and since the 70's have remained our most bitter, vitriolic rivals, especially after the Mullery years. From their point of view though, I find it a bit strange as Palace have much nearer clubs that you would have thought they would be more concerned about i.e Charlton and Millwall. So why the hatred for us? Who cares! It makes for one of the best derby days on the football calendar. Bring on Nov 28!!

I would say it's the posh element of our fanbase probably in their 50's who find it all bit beneath them, that or it's the new fans who want a nice quiet family day out, the young fans tend to get really into it and love the atmosphere.

I hate them with a passion and the fear of losing spoils it for me in a way so I'll do my usual and get pissed, cheer my team and hope for a result.

It's going to be a tough old season but beating them would certainly ease the pressure somewhat especially as others have started to take note of the rivalry but especially as the rivalry has manifested itself into something of substance regardless of those who try to dismiss it. I have watched it develop & can testify to it's growing fervour. SUIFHP
