    ... and go top of the PL.

    A club that didn't have a ground, almost went under but played an absolute master stroke by appointing a manager called Potter ...

    ... if Newcastle had taken him, a man who'd done absolutely nothing in English football, there'd have been horses punched.

    N.B. Palace chose Brighton as their derby, despite being 50 miles away, because their other choice was Millwall <laugh>

    Never really liked Palace since the Alan Whittle days.

    My dislike for them grew when I worked in Portugal. The expat bar I drank in was packed with decent people who you could have a good crack on with, then this loud mouthed Palace fan rocked up and he simply didn't fit. People avoided him like the plague.

    C'mon Brighton. 4-0 will do me.

    To be fair they do have 200 clowns who sing the same dismal shyte for 90 minutes and make the 'atmosphere' the same ...

    ... no matter what's happening on the pitch.

    Isn't it because Alan Mullery flicked the Vs at the Palace supporters once?

    Whereas Sunderland & Newcastle only have decades of political battles, 100 years of industrial divisions and the Civil War <doh>

    Dates back to the 70s when they were promotion rivals and there was some crowd trouble at a couple of games. Faux rivalry from 2 nothing clubs

    I was in Tenerife in January 1990. Me and my mate were sitting in a bar and the Palace team came in. Kicked right off. Me and my mate just sat there watching it. Always remember my mate saying casually that he wished he had a camera.

    Sound like a club not a million miles from Sunderland.

    a small section sing some songs, with microphones pointed at them. I just don't like them. Media like them because they're a London club.
