There seem to be a lot of Palace followers, (fans?), on this board.

They know who is playing well, who badly, how many goals they’ve scored, what games are coming up, who they’ve played already, upcoming fixtures, attendances, facilities and internal politics and finances.

I don’t get it.

This.

And a lot of them seem to spend a lot of time watching Brighton. Weird.

Brighton
Their next 5 games,
Everton away
Arsenal home
Chelsea away
Spurs home
Manchester United away

Not easy at all, could be going into December on less than 10 points.
This is palace, you know they will beat Arsenal and Chelsea and maybe a draw with Spurs to get themselves out the sh8t. In fact I might as well make some money out of it and place the treble.

Remember when we thought they were dead and burried with 4 of their last 5 games against top 6, the season we were promoted, and they manage to worm their way out.

I do take comfort in knowing that there is only so much luck they can have (on and off the field) before the inevitable trap door opens. Every season since coming up they have flirted with the trap door. All that money spent and you could say that they've actually gone backwards.

*Cough* Murray > Barnteke*Cough*

Yea, he got them promoted, 5 years before us, but are they 5 years ahead of us?

So if I don’t spend hours digging into what’s happening at Palace then I shouldn’t comment.

You can have rivals without being obsessed about them.

This.

I don't spend massive amounts of time looking at palace's various travails but I do enjoy reading some of the more amusing failures they experience.

I would imagine if one were to compare political rivalry, that most people who support one party, know a fair bit about another. Otherwise the lefties on here wouldn't be so bothered about Boris' latest escapade, and the right-wingers wouldn't be mithering on about momentum. There's nothing wrong with knowing stuff, as Sun Tzu said 'know your enemy'.

They will finish above us, more than likely. I like a good laugh at them of course, but how many new threads on them do we need?

Wrong thread! Sorry..

Yes, I have just cottoned on to him as well. Look at Creaky's posts. About half are about politics, about half football and about half the footie ones are regarding palace. I smell something. Most of his palace quotes are sticking up for their fans and especially Zaha. He's been rumbled.

Why wrong thread? Seems like the right one to me.

I was trying to quote that post onto the Bournemouth thread where he's slagging off our finances. Got it wrong first go as using Tapatalk on my phone. Doh!

But yes, he reeks of Palace.

I don't mind the CP threads, but I wish the mods would actively merge them into one.

On Everton's grandoldteam forum, they have single running threads about Liverpool or Man Utd, etc. (running to 10,000's of very bitter posts :lol: )

Pretty much what I wrote yesterday. I like slagging palace off but one thread would be a big improvement.

I guess now I’ve been rumbled I can take down that darned signed shirt and flags by the TV in the man shed - at last!

As you are watching Newsnight [MENTION=27275]Creaky[/MENTION], stay on BBC2 for the documentary on next about the day RBS went bust in 2008. It looks like a cracker and the reviews are brilliant.

As I said, you probably just need to do a bit more research on what you're talking about then.

Complaining about people slagging off Palace and then getting everything wrong about Bloom and our finances isn't a good look.

I think I've said sorry about five times already but.... Sorry.

You're not Palace you're just an extremely badly informed person. Let's leave it at that. X

I suddenly feel that myself and [MENTION=27275]Creaky[/MENTION] are kindred spirits, I can't think why?

Sorry, wasn't meant to be bitchy - I've no idea how old they are or whether they live with others or not, it was just that the pictures above looked a bit 'bachelor' like :)

:lolol: you may be right though, this old man’s wife would have a meltdown if I had Albion related shirts etc hanging in our house. Maybe I’m just “an under the thumb” old man. Although in fairness I never get any hassle when I go to games, just memorablia in the house is a no no

My other half is totally meh about football.
