I met a palace fan in Majorca in 2004 and when he discovered I was a Brighton fan he wanted a fight. That’s how I’ll always remember Palace fans, absolute pricks.

I'd far rather spend an evening chatting over beers with a Palace fan than a southern Liverpool or Man U fan. We have more in common than we'd like to admit.

You probably have a Palace fan as a near neighbour if you are still living in Seaford.

Na just being civil. We both remember the Mullery incident that sparked of all the bullshit. I guess that goes with the receding hairlines and grey hair.

It was bubbling up nicely before mullers to be fair.

How does that work, did he ask? Did he ask nicely?

Summer 2002 I was wearing my Albion "Third Division Champions" T-shirt by the pool in the south of France, and I noticed this large family group who kept staring at me. That night in the bar this old dear in her 70s came up to me and said with a rasping heavy smokers sarf London accent "oi, are you Brighton?". "Yeah" I replied.
She jabbed her thumb over her shoulder at what I reckon must have been her three lumpy sons and their fat partners and said aggressively "we saw you at the pool today in a Brighton shirt...yeah, well we're Palace..! " and stared at me as if to say "what you gonna do about it". I just burst out laughing and said "congratulations", and went back to ordering a drink. I had another couple of days of dirty looks off them, to which I just smiled in return, and then they were gone. Shame she's probably dead now and missed us stuffing them twice last season...
