But, but… We over rate our player cos they are English. They only do well in the PL. Surely it can’t be correct that we have the top scorer and assist maker in Bundesliga and La Liga? Funnily enough I have indeed notice a lack of Scotsman piping up on posts about Kane and Jude. Few young English lads in the Bundesliga all doing well, Reece Oxford former West Ham is there as well, randomly. Been there few years at Augsburg. Also, Marcus Edwards for Sporting former Spurs kid putting up numbers. Our players do travel now, and they do very, very well.
So tonight is the 'derby match' between two clubs twice as far away as us and Boro ... ... a game which we deny is a derby. Palace had the choice of a rival between Millwall, 10 miles away, or Brighton, 50 miles away. They chose Brighton, I wonder why
Isn't it more of a situational rivalry rather than a geographical one? Wsn't there an FA Cup tie in the 70s that led to some bad blood between the teams? Bit like us and Portsmouth in 2019 https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/club/crystal-palace-brighton-rivalry-explained/
It's a rivalry based on piffle and self righteous indignation. I know the background but it's as fake as Ian Wright's laugh.
Can't imagine Brighton having a derby with anyone, they're far too nice. Palace have no derby, they're just desperate for attention. I'm based in Croydon. I know.
Their main chant is, "We are Palace, we are Palace People are ambivalent about us We don't care one way or the other." Scary stuff
"Ajax suffered one of the biggest shocks in their history as they lost 3-2 at amateurs USV Hercules in the second round of the Dutch Cup. Tim Pieters scored twice to put Hercules 2-0 up against Ajax, who have won the competition a record 20 times. Brian Brobbey and Chuba Akpom struck in the last seven minutes to draw the visitors level. But Mats Grotenbreg scored three minutes into stoppage time to secure a famous Hercules win."
Sheffield United are utterly awful to watch I’d hate us to get into PL and that be what we had to look at. Utterly awful no interest in trying to play.
