OptaJoe @OptaJoe Hull are the 3rd team to both top the Premier League and be relegated in the same season (Charlton 98/99 and Bolton 11/12). Extremes.
Palace kev Good luck to palace next season. Love your ground , and your fans are locals unlike some london clubs. Hopefully we will be back at Selhurst Park in the premier league sometime
I was on the train to Selhurst with a Palace fan (Alan) yesterday early doors. Shaved head CPFC tattooed on his neck, denim head to toe (thats not demimist incidentally) I got on, found a spot and he came and sat next to me. '@%%king hell mate, i'm ****ting myself, I can't believe either of us are having to do this, we should be partying today' he said.. .. absolutely top bloke, we spoke about journeys supporting, he told me about Palace actually starting playing in Hyde Park before they had to move, his visits to BP and KCOM, and how much he didn't want Palace to get any bigger as he figured they'd lose their identity. "How many you brought' he asked "2000' to quote him 'brilliant that, proper club, proper supporters we all are'... 'come and have a drink with our mob' he said 'i'll look after you'. I told him I was meeting some pals and declined. Man hug, locked hands, and a 'good luck, enjoy the day'.. what more could you want, apart from a win of course.
Crystal Palace have revealed their secret to Premier League survival this season - apple crumble and custard. The Sun via BBC. What pudding did our team eat? Jam roly-poly and custard?
