[Football] Liverpool reject Palace's offer for Benteke because....

[fosters headband]

Can't believe he left off Liverpool vs Man United either!

See so what happened to your top 4 or 5, You are just helping me prove my point.

 

[Simster]

So do you consider Palace and Brighton greater rivals than those game you mentioned, because I don't.

Yes I do, undoubtedly. As I say, the ones I highlighted aren't even proper requited rivalries.

So you agree with him that Palace v Brighton is amongst the top 4 or 5 rivalries in English football?

I didn't say that, I said there were 4 or 5 bigger and more heated one's.

No, just that your examples of bigger rival fixtures are shocking. I'd say these are all much bigger:

Liverpool v United
Brum v Villa
City v United
Arsenal v Tottenham
Liverpool v Everton
Man Utd v City
Man Utd v Leeds
Sheff Wed v Utd
Pompey v Saints is also incredibly hostile considering how rarely they've played each other down the years.

In terms of how keenly it is felt, Albion v Palace is probably on a par with Watford v Luton or Oxford v Swindon I'd say - although obviously it attracts far bigger crowds than both of those matches these days.

I could go on naming them but it pointless, but I am still interested in knowing who in the Prem do Palace consider rivals?

No one really, all our 3 main rivals are in the lower leagues!

 

[Triggaaar]

Complete panic buy, a la Adebayor. If there weren't so many poor teams in the PL this season, I'd be taking Palace to go down at 9/2.

But if there weren't so many poor teams, they wouldn't be 9/2.

I take it one of the other two is Charlton. So you have been on their boards wanting conformation that Benteke is a great signing, or is it just us who have the pleasure of your trolling?

 

[boik]

I think this signing worries you big time if were being honest.

Your user name indicates that you were similarly excited over the signing of Chamakh. Signing strikers that were once good and have tailed off is a huge gamble. They rarely hit those heights again.

If my auntie had...

 

[CPFC G]

Decent signing for us I think.

Still think we need another 3 or 4 players in to improve the starting 11 and squad though.

Big season for Pardew could be sacked very quickly if we get off to a bad start.

Chamakh actually did a decent job for us.

 

[Triggaaar]

any sense she'd disown you?

 

[Megazone]

He´s just a younger version of Carlton Cole, but for 27 million quid.

Big season for Pardew could be sacked very quickly if our bad start, which saw us lose at home to a woeful West Brom side, continues.

Fixed for you.

 

[CPFC G]

Fixed for you.

Can't argue with that

7 goals in 3 years? Now we know you're talking out of your arse
