Yes, but unless I'm very confused, you're telling me you were one of the group that came up with the name at a pub, and that wasn't really a mickey take of Palace, but more like an easy chant that fitted the team we were. It may have caught on because of a game against Palace, but it doesn't...
Well I don't blame you if you can't remember exactly. I had always thought it was from a game against Palace, but assuming you remember right it happened before that, and it doesn't sound like it was that linked to Palace.
