Today's Championship

[bhaexpress]

Whilst some people keep harping on about the likes of Cullip, The Poison Dwarf, Laterly Brooker not to mention Iwelumo it's interesting to see just how well Andy Crosby has done since he left here. There's a player we really should have held on to. What's ironic is that he lost his place to Matt Wicks, where's he now ?

Andy Crosby was, and still is one of my most favourite Albion players of all time, definitely in my top 10.

Rather a shite crowd for a big derby too

Glad forster finally banged a couple in,never doubted his ability just shite service

Never thought 2 ex reading players would do the businessnormally the other way round.

Well Southends goal was very much Kuipers fault, wasn't it.

I am not a huge FDM fan, but I thought their first goal took a deflection.

It looked like it only took a very minimal deflection, would have expected him to save it quite comfortably.

Big girl goggles, whiffy, foppish 'hairdo' (that must've taken Justin of Mayfair AGES to perfect?
The fake tan was his trademark too - and everyone knows how dodgy that looks.

Simon Jordan in The Observer, July 2005

"A couple of weeks ago I was asked about the reception Charlton fans gave Palace when they drew with us on the final day of last season, a result that relegated us. I said their fans - who revelled in it, abused us and even did the bloody conga - had behaved like morons. It was an 'astounding' comment for 'a chairman of an ex-Premiership club', said a spokesman for their fans group, who demanded an apology and added - really perceptively, I thought - 'there were 24,000-odd Charlton supporters at The Valley that day, including myself. That's an awful lot of morons.'

In retrospect, of course I regret calling them morons. Imbeciles would have been more appropriate. Quite apart from the fact that we gave Charlton a home in the 1980s when they were bust, I was objecting to the way they - and their chairman - celebrated the draw as if they'd won the Champions League. Rivalry is great, it's healthy, but this went beyond all that - they were like walking tabloids: lapping up misery and knocking people down. They lost their tiny minds, and they want me to apologise to them?"




One nil to the imbeciles then, Simon. I'd have loved to be the Charlton chairman in the Selhurst boardroom after yesterday's game.

 

[The Large One]

Apparently, the Charlton board went to stand with their own fans, and didn't sit in the Directors' box.

Oh good call.

Only 18,000 crowd though, & I'm assuming that must have included a few thousand from Charlton. Not very encouraging for Palace.

Not looking good after the 15k the other week,think charlton only got 2500ish and don't think they even sold out mmmm

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Before any Palace fans bite, I know the Albion aren't exactly turning away fans at the turnstiles either.

But at least we have the excuse of awful football watched from a terrible stadium with shockingly overpriced tickets.....







...oh.
