[Albion] I fvcking hate Pal@rse

[RioGrandeGull]

All the football sites on Facebook are unbearable…..
The fawning from all the other club supporters makes you

 

[hart's shirt]

Let's be real, here: They have done the 'thing' which we dream of. Do I hate it? Of course I do, just as they would if the boot was on the other foot. Does that make them 'better' than us? No, not in the slightest, but I can accept bragging rights from them. this year.
Far too much is placed upon a trophy as opposed to a whole season.
We'll finish above them....again.

For supporters of clubs like Albion and Palace, lifting the Cup is forever, at least when it comes to memories.

League places come and go, but trophies are eternal.

 

[Sorrel]

I don't get worked up about what other teams do, not unless we're playing them. Sometimes other teams are lucky (in the draw, in a match); we like it when we are.

We've had what looks like being the second best league finish ever - yet we all know there were plenty of times we could have been better - so thing's aren't bad. Let's get it working and firing up the players next season.

And we'll do it too, at some point.
I'd rather be us, than them.

Henderson not getting sent off was incredibly lucky, it was a stonewall red card! Completely changed the course of the match.

Sorry but didn't I just specifically say that was the only element of luck!

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Not sure Palace can sustain both Europe and league. A relegation for them next season and I will applaud their FA Cup win

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I literally feel f***ing sick right now, I've got a few good bridges round me here in Manchester and I feel like jumping in and seeing where the tide takes me. (no I won't do it)

So Whisky and Diet coke is the way forward, two glasses in and many more to go.

Also it is Eurovision tonight, so at least it is a distraction somewhat.

only if Smith scored, eh?!

 

[Mo Gosfield]

You had one job City, one f****** job with your multi million pound so called world class superstars

City have been completely out of sorts for some time. Flakey and very beatable. It was obvious that a determined well organised team that stuck to its gameplan would be enough to see off this lacklustre version of City.
That's why Palace were too good to ignore at 10/3. Didn't want them to win but over generous odds cannot be ignored.

 

[The Colonel]

It's a tough one to take but ultimately it doesn't affect BHAFC.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Yep. Ended our season. Biggest day in their history.

Comparison is the thief of joy. We just need to accept that we are not as good as they are and move on.

Totally.

Err

 

[Mo Gosfield]

At least we won't be hearing our brain dead fans goading Palace about never playing in Europe again. Geez...when will they ever learn. Did they honestly think that one brief flirtation in Europe gave us bragging rights.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

It's a tough one to take but ultimately it doesn't affect BHAFC.

Of course it f***ing does, our rivals just won a major trophy. Which we HAVEN'T in our 124 year history. (f*** the community shield) none of us where a life then.

this hurts even more then that play off game, a team who have done absolutely f*** all for nearly 12 years in the PREMIER LEAGUE!!!!

Who couldn't even afford to pay St Johns Ambulance all those years ago, if I ever wanted to see a club go bust it is those pikey c****!!!

Is it though? I’m being very honest here. How can we go on and on about our recruitment/project when, again being completely honest, we’ve never had a striker as good as Mateta, never had any attackers as good as Eze, Olise and (be honest) Zaha, never a fullback as good as Munoz and obviously, never won a major trophy? How can that possibly be disputed? It may not be a popular opinion, but it’s based on facts.

Even in the league table, they finished third once, compared to our sixth place finish. Yes, they’re an incredibly jammy team right now, who often get the rub of the green, but this goes back to the ‘Spursy’ thread that was on here a few weeks ago. They have a killer, big game instinct that we don’t. I don’t know where that comes from, and yes they’ve lost finals before, but those more and more I think about it, it’s just comes down to an intangible club ‘DNA’. Just look at that playoff semi all those years ago if you need proof.

And there’s nothing we can do about that. Maybe it’s best to have an ‘eyes on your own paper’ situation, but it’s undeniable that there’s a massive rift between the two clubs, regardless of our recent trajectory, which has been excellent and isn’t dampened whatsoever by their achieve. To quote a gormless former manager, “It is what it is”, but it’s frankly foolish to deny that the gap exists and probably will do for a few decades to come

Because we sign players for the future and never see them in the Stripes.....loaned out straight away in the shop window to sell on......although they lost today, City brought on a 19 year old Argentinian player they signed las January and loaned back to the selling club until January......Barco is agreat example, outcast, sent off from pillar to post..............

And we'll do it too, at some point.

I believe there's 2 different points here.
Yes, off the pitch with our stadium, infrastructure and owner, we'd rather be us.
However, on the pitch Palace have got it over the line.
What's more important? There's an argument for both.

We've lost successive SFs and before that blew the Championship trophy in the last 3 games.
Eventually, given enough years, we'll win something.
But how many of us will be around to see it is another matter.
It's all about taking the chance when it's there.

 

[ExmouthExile]

All we can hope for now is a full scale riot between the spurs and man united fans at the europa league final that sees all English clubs banned from Europe next season!

 

[albionalba]

I've managed to avoid it completely today and remain in denial. Dundee Utd beat Aberdeen earlier and I'm in Genoa and at they're home to Atalanta tonight. A home win would be good for the late night atmosphere in the city. FA Cup final? Haven't got a clue.

I wouldn't even be surprised if we were after him, but City came calling and signed him. Reminds me off that Brazilian Centre Back, city signed in January who we were after!

Only if you can find a reasonably priced plane ticket!

We have 19 rivals in the Premier League. I was at the game that caused the alledged problem, but time and time changes everything in my opinion. There is noreason to hold a grudge for so long.....Vennables has passed and who remembers the team from that fateful day ?
