You want to talk about doubles?
Brighton doubles over Palace since the war:
50/51
51/52
55/56
57/58
75/76
80/81
83/84
Palace doubles over Brighton since the war:
PS - I'm not currently looking them up, and planning to add them to this post. That is it, that's the full list.
We were effectively ONE goal worse than Boro last season. And we're FAR better than we were last season.
So no.
For every Boro, there's a Burnley, Watford, Bournemouth. Our infrastructure is lightyears ahead of those clubs.
No reason we can't make a good fist of it with the right purchases.
When you lost 3-0?
By getting stuffed and getting us all cheering the St Patric's day massacre? Ok, fair enough. Thanks.

Our infrastructure is lights years above those clubs but what good did it do to us . 4 years in the premier league for what

Your academy was downgraded, your stadium is an utter pile of shite and you've got questionable owners. What infrastructure?

It's all there . It's what you do on the pitch that counts .
I'm not certain you know what the word infrastructure means. So by that logic, Portsmouth's infrastructure was great when they were leading AC Milan at Fratton Park and winning the FA Cup.
All ended happily, didn't it?

What infrastructure? Your stadium is quite literally unfit for purpose.

They performed on the pitch and yes they have had a sorry time of it but they are a proper club . Not every club has the luxury of getting £250 m in handouts do they .

Did you get money back on your transgender operation
Nope all went well and I'm happy with the work .
Ahhhhh.....so despite all our excellent work in the community, our sensible careful owner, doing things the right way, not screwing over small businesses or behaving unethically, all that's for nothing because it turns out we're
not a proper club, unlike Portsmouth.
Genius. You should go on Question Time with debating skills like that.

So you agree, your infrastructure isn't light years above Burnley or Watford. As for being addressed - It was highlighted over 3 years ago how bad the situation was at Selhurst Park. It's right here in black and white http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/26662957 Since then your club has pocketed over £300 million quid, spent it all on players and managers and done absolutely nothing about it. Last year they spent about 0.3% of turnover on infrastructure. So no - your club has not really addressed it. If things carry on as they are you will get points docked, and rightly so, which puts paid to the lie that it's just what you do on the pitch that counts. Infrastructure matters too and yours is tinpot.
And you reckon your infrastructure is light years ahead of Boro who have a top notch 35k seater stadium and also have a Cat 1 football academy. Your club is in the same pool as Barnsley, Coventry and Bolton. Once again, you are not light years ahead of Boro with your infrastructure.
Well, you referred to Portsmouth as a "proper" club (whatever that means), and then talked about our £250m "handout" the very next sentence.
Are we lucky to have Tony Bloom? Of course we are. No one disputes that.

It's all about opinions . My initial point is it doesn't matter what the infrastructure is like it's all about how you perform on the pitch . Your infrastructure was non excistant until you got it given to you free yet you tend to sneer at any club you deem has inferior facilities . Your set up will mean for nothing next year if you struggle on the pitch . I like selhurst and I will be there next season when we get back to our regular 10,000 regulars .

Two different points . Pompey are a proper club whose fans ( like ourselfs ) helped save their club . You have been given a massive leg up and fair play for bloom in doing that but it will mean sod all next season if you struggle .
Edit , I've answered two questions in a similar vein , sorry for that .
