What score on Tuesday will make up for the 5-0?

[paulie]

Reading some of the threads on here this week I'd forgotten some of the details from Oct 2002, ie just how long your losing run had gone on before Selhurst. Basically, if we couldn't thrash you then when could we.

What result on Tuesday would redress the balance and give you equal bragging rights (for a month at least!)?

I reckon about 2-0 to BHA with a seriously good performance. Palace are quite likely to play averagely at the moment so it could be your time. Hope not.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I think even a 1-0 win would give us bragging rights.

After all you are an ex premiership team (therefore on paper better) and this is our 'cup final' apparantly.

 

[JJ McClure]

Any win for Brighton, even if it's one nil thanks to an own goal.

 

[Croydonbloke]

Come on Paulie you know it will not happen but any Brighton victory would be seen as payback time.

 

[Simon Morgan]

yeah just a victory would be terrific. i'm sure even a draw would also be classed as a bad result for palarse

 

[n1 gull]

I just hope we win so I can all sing - "You can shove your 5-nil up your arse"

 

[Silent Bob]

I'd be happy with a draw, although any result where the team shows some backbone and passion will be an improvement on last time.

For bragging rights I'd say a 2 goal Albion win...

I hope I can all sing (sic) "7-0 and you can't go home".

It actually annoys me that you got away with 5-0 last time. We had SO many chances to score more. Being greedy I suppose.

Agree entirely. After last time even a 0-0 draw will feel like a victory.

1-0. After you lot have banged on for so long about how much bigger you are and how much better etc etc etc, surely anything other than at least another 5-0 win against a team of kids and cast-offs who play in a poxy athletics ground is a bad result for you?

Rubbish.

Older Palace fans will never claim we are bigger than you, we can remember the gates at the GG around 1979-1981 and know the potential of BHA given a decent ground.

We HAVE consistently outperformed you since 1989, a fair while before you lost the GG. Obviously since you lost the ground it hasn't been an even playing field.

 

[Hiney]

I'm looking forward to variations on:

Malcolm Allison, Steve Kember, Ian Wright, Geoff Thomas, Terry Venables, Andy Johnson, Brighton Rock - your boys took a HELL of a beating

which will, of course, still be valid even if we win with a 90th minute goal deflected in off Kerry Mayo's COCK

 

[Gully]

Like Hiney, I will settle for a 90th minute flukey as hell winner, that will do for sweet revenge.

 

[Brovion]

Bloody hell don't you READ what your other fans have posted (both here and on other sites)? It's all "we're a bigger club than you, we've been in the Prem, etc"

Yes potentially we could be a lot bigger than you lot - but we're not. You are currently a bigger club with more resources and possibly at the moment a marginally better side. Still, it's nice to see you're mentally preparing yourself for the inevitable (Falmer permitting) change in our relative states.

Why are people going on about a victory for Palarse that happened ages ago. Who gives a shit? Me might as well boast about the match where we beat them 2-0 on Boxing Day 1983. Fcuking Hell look to the future people!!!

Sounds like you are making your EXCUSES already.

Getting Falmer will be good for you, but not necessarily mean you suddenly become huge. It will need to be funded and how many will you average? 15,000-17,000? About the same as us.

Chez - because it was the last time you played at Selhurst. Although played should be interpreted in the widest sense of the word.

 

[Bakesy]

Anything less than a 5-0 Palarse win and i'll expect to see a queue of red and blue stripes at Beachy Head...........

 

[Kaney]

4-0, continuous improvement

But you cant go on the past when it comes to attendances paulie. In 1979-80 Palace averaged 36,000 that season we wouldnt average that now. Just because brighton got a few 25,000 plus crowds then doent mean they would get them now does it? Ever since i have been going Palace's fan base has been huge but like most football fans only turn up in force when the team is doing well. Brighton have always had a steady core support but with all their years in the wilderness a lot of local young football fans follow the big clubs now and a generation of support has been lost to Brighton i fear.

I actually dreamt the other night that we lost 5-2. Grrr
