I'm not so sure this is a great topic. On its face it is blokey banter but it ended terribly for one fan of the Wankpuffins and his family.

I believe Matthew Simmons was a Fulham fan even though he was at Selhurst Park.

However, Matthew Simmons himself retweeted this.

Article says he had his Palace ST revoked. A bit odd if he was a Fulham fan.

Not sure I understand the Tweet. Was he a member of these groups then ?

Was that the last time the Palace board actually took some action against one of their fans?

Certainly none of them got in trouble for the problems at the Amex a couple of season ago even though a Palace steward needed hospital treatment.

He was happy to retweet that. He didn't deny it but publicised it.
It's Palace fans who say he was a Fulham fan.

Paul Nixon is the Palace fan who was killed later when Palace played Man Utd.

Simmons looked as scared as fck as that kick was coming towards him.

Every cloud .... the long ban probably handed the title to Blackburn rather than arrogant Manure. I for one found that funny.

Did a cup of hot tea land on Schmeichal or Taggart in the ensuing mayhem.

“Off, off, off Cantona - it’s an early shower for you!”

I remember reading the Palace fan claiming that this is what he said at the time.

Corrected for you as I don't believe anyone would have quite believed what you'd written :thumbsup:

You can see Eric make the quote at 1hr 1min on the Sky Documentary channel / catchup 'The United Way'.

Steely eyed, staring straight at the camera, sincere, intense..."I don't regret it...I ave only 1 regret...I would ave loved to ave kicked 'im even arder".

[on 9 month ban]
"they wanted me to be an example. I didn't want to be an example...I'm just a human being"
