2 managers who are seemingly on a race to 17th place. It's a tough choice. I desperately want them both to stay for more basketcase hilarity next season. With all the cost-cutting that's happening at United, Amorim's more likely to stay around in the event of a defeat. Balance sheet >...

I'm sad to see an excellent presenter leave MOTD for predominantly non-footballing reasons just as much as I was to see Hoddle forced out of the England job for his personal beliefs at the time however offensive, ill-judged and theologically unsound they were, but just as then, there was a...

Wouldn't be the first time he's been caught out. Pipe To Pipe Bushmen. :)

Appreciate the considered response. For balance, my Grandfather was a Palace season ticket holder and my Mum grew up in Norbury. If my parents hadn't moved 2 roads away from the Goldstone before I arrived at the RSCH, there's every chance I could've easily been red and blue rather than blue...

Agreed. That said, I will be reading up on obscure towns in Serbia with England's World Cup qualifier there in September. Andorra in Barcelona first though.

This is football. We react how we do in the moment. It's individual. Bring rivalry into the equation and reactions are likely to be more wide-ranging. What you've referred to as a "quite disturbing outpouring of bitterness, even grief" is what others might see as a perfectly natural and...

Personally I'm not sure I'd put them both in the same level of disappointment.

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...

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.

Despite European commitments and losing the odd player, in all probability they'll comfortably stay up just like we did. Even having sold Olise, they've more than coped. As much as we'd like to think differently, they won't collapse.

Yes indeed. Palace rivalry trumps 'for the good of football' every time, especially in a Cup Final when silverware is on the line.

Always going to happen with that result, H. But blocking new posters on here tonight is probably worth doing.

You've literally just compared us with them. :rolleyes:

Always have. Always will.

Not for me, Clyde.

I didn't see that coming.

As there's no real football to speak of today, here's some coverage of the pre-game entertainment before the Coventry v Spurs 1987 FA Cup Final. Crodo would love this - Ray Winstone, Steve Cram, Tarby, Adam Woodyatt, Dennis Waterman, Daley Thompson, Nick Owen, David Frost, Steve Davis...

Who's playing?

Clearly Albion believe that repetition is the key to success.
