They started before the Crystal Palace building. They became a professional club then but played as Crystal
palace in the palace gardens.
No idea if the explanation I posted is correct or not, but I'm reading it as it's stating that the club is named after the house.
I stand corrected, I thought the site of the.canal ports was a settlement that the club was named after.
I don't think he lacks confidence at all. He played with bravery the rest of the game after his miss and got his goal. He didn't go into hiding or stop trying things.
He's just not a very dynamic player. He can do simple things but he's never going to fly past defenders. I think he can have a decent future in the game but he lacks the same things that this City team have lacked for the last year - pace and the ability to take men on.
Port Vale are supposed to be the only club not named after a settlement. Arsenal isn’t a settlement either so I don’t know why they aren’t included. Maybe because originally called Woolwich Arsenal.
The idea was mooted after Leeds City were kicked out to amalgamate them with Huddersfield Town, they both played in blue and white stripes then, and move to Huddersfield as their ground was bigger. Herbert Chapman who had been at Leeds when they were kicked out went to manage Huddersfield. How I wish that plan had come to fruition.
Chapman then proceeded in 4 seasons to win the Cup and the League 3 times, which is, as I love to remind fans of TWS the same as Leeds have managed in over 100 years.
chapman's reign at huddersfield came after initially joining them as assistant to former hull city boss ambrose langley who was sacked a month later. chapman almost repeated the hat-trick of league wins at arsenal, where he started them off on making use of their trophy room as something other than a storage cupboard. the first trophy, the fa cup in 1930, was aided by the mysterious sending-off of a hull city player in the semi-final by a dodgy referee believed by many* to have accepted a backhander or two. chapman's brother harry played for and managed hull city, but died shortly afterwards, aged 36, missing all the subsequent events his brother was involved in.
* me, for a start.
2 hours of not very good football but our left back in the first half cox I think it was for me was a big improvement on Fleming and the only place Harry Vaughan should be going this season is in the championship as one of the first names on our team sheet and no ****er else’s, think that lad is going to have a big impact this season, cracking little player…really enjoy watching him play and looking forward seeing him at the MKM soon, possibly against Nantes if I can get a hall pass ( people of a certain age will know what I mean ) lol
thats good to hear. Always looking for the next Bowen (or for that matter the next Waggy)
It's a long way back from Port Vale, especially when a brick goes through the bus window and it's snowing, I was bleedin' freezing!

It is even further from Cardiff after a 5-1 defeat with all the windows down one side broken or cracked. Especially galling when the bus was parked opposite a police station.
So was Jose Mourinho definitely at the game today or have I been 'whooshed' ?
Just seems odd that none of the media have picked up on it if he was. Presumably there as part of the Roma collaboration, but you'd have thought he would have been with Tan?
All slightly odd.

We need 2 LB's and 2 LCH 's in the squad.
Frustrating thing is he has real ability and can handle the knocks too.
It's end product at the end of the day. It's not what's in his feet but in his mind I feel. Same goes for Allahyar at the moment but he's got a few more years on his side than Longman.
Is this new winger right sided ?
Would anyone try alyalyin upfront, he’s not done much so far outwide
