and just because I can be a bitch when hungover, from the FA website...
The FA Charity Shield, as it was formerly known, was first played for in 1908. It evolved from the “Sheriff of London Shield” fixture that had been played annually between a leading professional club and a leading amateur...
I edited my post to a) correct a spelling mistake 'sole' not 'soul' (I'm anal like that) and b) because I added a bit about what my son wanted on the back of his shirt.
Umm...lies at you? Really? 'sake, I think you're reading far too much in to this.
I enjoy the pantomime of it all, so do my kids. As I've already alluded to, there's clear boundaries and I'm not going to lose sleep over what you think of my parenting skills in the same way as you probably won't care one way or the other what I think about the 'leisure-wear' that the club...
Child abuse? He wanted "We H8 Palace" as his first choice and his second was paraphrasing the Max Romero song with :"Put on a iron shirt and chase Palace out of Earth" (His back isn't big enough, it would cost a fortune and I don't want people mistaking that for a reference to West Ham)

I do frequently work in the City and heard separately from different well-connected sources where Bloom has made money and what kind of scale and I've got to say that what I heard surprised and reassured me. I've got no proof, won't disclose details either but I'm a massive Brighton fan with no...
I think it will. I'm not going to argue with you on this. I think one thing and you another, fair enoughit's all about opinions, but as we have proved - a brand new stadium can work miracles for us as a club. I see no reason why it couldn't in Croydon.
Oh matey - I am one of the worst for laying into Palace trolls on here - or was. Partly because the rivalry was so even that it felt more intense and partly because so many felt the need to join every single conversation with the usual gubbins. But in real life I have a few mates that are proper...
This - written in 15 foot letters. Goldberg was a fan who f**ked up big time and nearly took his club with him. Jordan another true fan but too naive to the vampires who surround modern football and he let his ego cloud his judgement. Archer was never a fan and Bellotti - if he ever was, sold us...
It's only an issue because we lost, to be fair to whoever thought of it. he kids like them and most adults didn't really mind them I expect. The noise from both sets of fans was deafening for the first half hour of the game and we pcertainly didn't need those infernal things but it's no big...
I think he's also the author of the "Bigger Fish To Fry" thread and the one with a bee in his bonnet about the Charity Shield 1910 being something to boast about in 2013.
Got to say - this is pathetic. Palace beat us fair and square - take it on the chin and congratulate them as you should. And they are a similar sized club to us with similar sized latent support. All the more commendable considering they have some of the biggest Prermiership teams half an hour...
