It would certainly be a bit of a fall off if they do just overtake us this season, but it's a bit like when they finished below us, but won the bigger prize of promotion through the play offs. We've already had the bigger prize of the European adventure and if they do end up above us by a point...

As England manager Roy got us knocked out at the group stage of a World Cup Finals for the first time since 1958. He had us at our lowest FIFA ranking in 20 years, had Harry Kane taking corners and then resigned when Iceland knocked us out of the Euros. At one time, the whole nation was out...

The recent discussion about Pixies in this thread: https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/top-3-yankee-bands.406316/ has me reading the title of this thread in a different way. I'm now wondering whether Palace fans' biggest fear might be the same as that of the protagonist in 'I've Been Tired'...

Well, we know what happened last time you came to the Amex.... https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/23392732.crystal-palace-sack-patrick-vieira-wake-defeat-brighton/

As it's Palace related, I'll post the link in here. David Squires is a treat every week, whatever the subject: https://www.theguardian.com/football/picture/2023/dec/12/david-squires-on-roy-hodgson-mood-crystal-palace

I'd like that. He's quite easy to dislike. I don't like it when Palace are managed by people who I find decent, affable or amusing: Venables, Holloway, Vieira, Hodgson don't make good pantomime villains. Nobody will surpass Pardew, but as Swansea fans mentioned even before he left them, and...

To get us back on track. Palace went up to the EPL in the play offs that year. The following year we finished 91st again. Over that season, in all the four divisions, only Doncaster and one other team finished with less than the 35 points we managed. Any guesses? To be fair, back then, even...

Yep. I know I lost sleep over it and I'm pretty damn sure I wasn't alone.

Wrong about Blackpool too. They've been members of the Football League since the 19th century. Wimbledon and Wigan both joined in the 1970s and ended up playing in the EPL.

Bournemouth have never been relegated from the Football League.

By the way. Of the 17 who voted against we can probably assume that one was Leyton Orient as Hearn had already lobbied for our expulsion. I'd be interested to know who the others were. In 'We Want Falmer' Dick Knight said that there a lot of people who stood up at the meeting, "Some...

You assume. They had been asked the question and hadn't given a positive response. I guess that they couldn't, because their members would have had to agree and hadn't discussed. It was called the 3rd Division, not the 4th by then. The Football League and the National League are different...

Were you asleep when we sat bottom of the league without anywhere to play and the Conference wouldn't confirm that they would even accept us the following season? Hereford United were disolved in 2014.

Did anyone sit to the end of MotD on Saturday and catch their 0-0 draw with Fulham? There's not much to say about the game, but one thing about the coverage really jarred with me. They still have those dancing girls! Over a decade since Gully's Girls went. Five years since even Darts and F1...

:ROFLMAO: People called Romanus they go the house. If we're making suggestions, I'll go with: "Numquam veniam pro nobis mendacium de nostris incontinentibus raeda exactoris"

Palace are one of the clubs being reported as interested in Xeka, a Portugese free agent from Ligue 1. His summary on Whoscored.com says he has: No significant strengths; Is ill disciplined; Fouls a lot; & Likes to play long balls. Translate that into Latin and they'll have a new club motto.

That's the best I've seen Guehi play. I haven't seen much in him playing for Hodgson in the low block. He looked decent yesterday. Partnering Maguire against Ukraine at the weekend, he suffered the same problem that Dunk did in the second half. He drags his centre half partners too deep...

Not now. I think that even when there was a chance, he wouldn't have played for anybody further afield than London.

I still think he'll get cold feet and sign Palace' s contract. The other three might be more money, but he was useless whenever he's not lived in South London. Like Dunky, he needs home. If Cardiff and Manchester were too much of a culture shock for him, how's he going to manage in Italy...

Morally? Years ago.
