This bothered you so much that you came on the opposition board just to tell them that ?
Kaoru Mitoma is the most talented footballer either side has EVER had - he is legitimately world class, better even than Ali Mac, an instrumental part of the World Cup winning Argentina squad.
Half a cup run.
Oh I take your point. For years on NSC (long before 2003 when this current incarnation started) I've banged on about taking the FA Cup seriously and was always shouted down. "The Cups are a distraction", everyone would say, "We're not going to win them so League points are far more important so that we can avoid relegation / consolidate / get promotion. Next year we can take the Cups seriously, but not this." I always hated that attitude, I wanted us to win something; or if nothing else I wanted us to be the first League Two club to reach the FA Cup final for example. It is possible, as we've seen it can be done it with a favourable draw, some fortuitous refereeing decisions, and a few freak results against disinterested big sides playing their reserves (so that they can 'concentrate on the League'). Then we'd have something to talk about for years to come, same way as us old-timers go on about 1983.Even people moaning about palace enjoying the rub of the green isn't sour grapes though, although maybe I'm just being an unreasonable pedant!
"The Fox and the Grapes is one of Aesop's Fables,[1] numbered 15 in the Perry Index.[2] The narration is concise and subsequent retellings have often been equally so. The story concerns a fox that tries to eat grapes from a vine but cannot reach them. Rather than admit defeat, he states they are undesirable. The expression "sour grapes" originated from this fable.[3]"

Who from CPFC2010 squad would be good enough for BHA?
Lots of players from their squad would be assets to our squad.
Put both starting 11s into a 22 man squad, you would probably be fighting for the title with that much depth.
They've come a long way from the days of Groupon vouchers offers to fans a few years ago, at full strength this is probably a fair shout.
Mitoma could play in any team in the world !
Of course there is bitterness and sour grapes, it’s how it should be, I would expect nothing less if the boot was on the other foot. But your cup win? Apart from Villa and City you had a piss easy run. You are, and should be, crowing about the win to us. But don’t delude yourselves. We had the most playing time lost to injuries in the Prem last season, but still finished in a good position earning £12million more than you guys (your cup win was worth about £3million by the way).
You're right, we are all a bit jealous.
Another scum troll, how about fk off you total bellend
To be fair to them they only lost 11 times in the PL, Spurs lost 22 times.
I won't pretend I don't care. But I see it as a challenge. Pretending it doesn't matter is how my petulant 7 year old chum behaved when he lost at Monopoly. The twat.
I hope you're right. That said Glasner seems like a good manage and their front three are very effective.
Glasner goes and it changes and some German teams rather fancy him.
Much as it pains me to say it, I'm sure Palace will do enough to finish at least lower-mid table (say, 12th!). Even with Europe to contend with, they have enough quality in the squad. However, as you say, if Glasner left (and maybe one or two stand-out players) then my view would change...
