You'd swap your season for ours in a heartbeat and nothing you can say will dissuade me otherwise. You're u21s won a European trophy while some of our u21s were actually playing in Europe proper
3 days before that defeat at Tottenham we had to endure Wolves fans chanting 'do you watch this every week?' after Chris Hughton left Glenn Murray to forage on his own while the rest defended for their lives in an ultra-negative but ultimately successful attempt at obtaining a 0-0 draw. It makes...
Don't forget the 4 year start on us that gave them a £500m+ in PL & TV revenue advantage. I wonder what the Albion could have done with that. A bit more than adding cladding and clearing the guttering surely.
Again a case of Palace knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing. One of the highest payers (percentage of income-wise) yet they couldn't stump up the comparative pittance for a few square metres of car park.
We are tapping into the South London talent scene too. Quite heavily as well. Chelsea will be the big draw for some but there will be gems to snap up. Our Academy have been looking beyond the South East for ages now.
This is the thing, we're expected to take heed of fiancial opinions from fans of a club with (in terms of % of income) one of the highest wage bills and yet seemingly not enough cash in the float to buy a few square meters of carpark from Sainsbury's or actually own their Academy
Is there a club whose fans 'big up' their team, their club, their own fans more than Crystal Palace? They do everything they can to try and make themselves relevant. And just this week alone the triggering of them has reached epic proportions.
I seem to remember your fans saying that Tompkins and Sakho were the best CB partnership outside the top 4... until they met Florin Andone. There is never any end to Palace blowing their own trumpets. You've signed 2 relegated players from last season, Reading's (yes that Reading) best player...
Ill say it - your ground is worse than Watford's or Burnley's. It is also worse than most Championship grounds, a few League One grounds and one or two in League Two. It is not an 'Old School' ground by any means. Newer fans confuse 'Old School' with just 'Old'. Old and undermaintained would be...
