This really has been the most wonderful few days. So many of their fans and their antics provide me with a huge source of amusement.

It’s also not going to be a flash in the pan…the owners are brewing up nicely for an internecine war; the stadium is rotting as quickly as their aged squad and their policy of over paying their “stars” has choked the ability to recycle their first team.

And whilst all that gives me a schadenfreude buzz, look at us…knocking on the door of Europe and Wembley; a World Cup winner in our midsts; the best owner in the business; the best run club in the world and a squad stacked full of young stars with a bountiful production line that has a unique IP that is the envy of all.

“Mind the gap” doesn’t really cover it. I think it’s us who are feeling glad all over…

Yeah, read that (with glee). I think, though, that they’re still on the foothills. I’m expecting (hoping) it escalates in to a full-on shit fest that leaves Beaky and his twenty three quid as the only source of funds going forward.

Imagine making a three hour video about a manager being sacked.

Is the bloke at the bottom the same guy from this:



(Any excuse to post it tbh)

I did think of this video when I saw the Palace fan blog. One guy in front of him starting with the gestures to the East Stand but then realised his scarf kept slipping down over his mouth so he kept pulling it up. Got to remain an international man of mystery.

Very funny, but I watched past that point and thought why am I or any Albion fans even bothering about spending any minutes of their life on a club that is not in our league in any way shape, or form?

See ya Palace.

Watch from 34.20.

Whilst amusing I do worry for you. Why were you watching that drab conversation in the first place? One or two minutes of a quality rant I can understand. But 35 minutes of those poor fools?

They are deluded aren't they. Listen at 32:00 - the presenter is making the point that we didn't gamble and yet the dork at the bottom maintains that "we stuck it all on red". In what world did we gamble? What's this debt they are talking about?

I mean one of the three Palace dimwits having the surname Gusset would make me want to watch! Great find Gripper.

In fairness, the host of 'back of the nest' was invited on to SSN to discuss Vieira's sacking. While I'd not heard of it until yesterday, it must have some sort of reputation to be a go to guest as a representative of Palace fan base. Y'know, rather than being some kids with a webcam, it seems to be an equivalent to something like the Albion Roar podcast.

I'm looking forward to the next video, after their new interim manager has lost their first four games, and the abyss of the Championship is ever closer.

The guy in the middle comes across as bit of bitter twat who cannot bear to hear anything good said about Brighton. The other two seem semi well informed for Palace fans.

The debt, which the knob in the middle and many of the Palace twunts on here keep going on about is the money Tony Bloom has invested into the club to build the stadium, the training ground, investment into the playing squad. When we do it apparently it's debt, but when they do it to build their new stand its coming from the ring fenced magic money tree in Steve Parish's back garden.
