Crystal Palace 2017/18

[hash tag]

Has anyone seen my watch? Ex-Crystal Palace boss robbed at gunpoint
If I remember rightly, in his biog, he mentions he gets a watch stolen whilst hanging his arm out of the window of his Bentley!

 

[alsoknownas]

It was probably Aglio.

 

[bromley]

I didn't realise he was only 32 when he became chairman.

I wonder if the gunman was on a motorbike? There's a lot of these type of daylight robberies in London.

I see we have the scousers for a midday KO on Saturday. Can rely on them to nick something!
Have a very good friend (scouser) who even has a ticket for the match. I go away Saturday morning so got to try and locate a bar showing the match and then persuade Mrs Tag to sacrifice the first few hours of a holiday
to watch it

I'll be there have seen Burnley twice and Huddersfield, so it'll be a nice change to see a top 4 side at Selhurst. The fact that I'm a Liverpool fan doesn't hurt either

No team should live and die on a single player, it really really shouldn't. It's about a team, 11 players on the pitch...alas our season proves otherwise, so I guess today and the rest of the season rely on that one player whose fitness is still in doubt

You will a dodgy penalty cause you havn't had one of those in ages are you going ?

 

[hash tag]

Indeed, agreed.
incidentally, I see the extension goes before Croydon planners next week. Palace are on record as saying it will happen regardless of league status. What gets me is that people are objecting to the size of the crowds, even though palace have promised to improve the local infrastructure for miles around.

For goodness sake, I remember regular crowds approaching 45,000 for the likes of other London clubs. Liverpool, man u, Newcastle etc. I even remember the 52,000 we had there once.

Thank goodness Chelsea have come back. Have just heard from a non football supporting friend. She says there is fighting outside her place in Albert Road
Quite an odd place for the seaweed to go

Sounds like game on at 3-1

 

[SE25]

Up the fucking Palace

I hear the planning permission has been approved for the new stand, increasing capacity to a heady 34000.

Just needs approval from the mayor now, which looks likely.

£100m. Admin #4 here you come!

Football's moved on a bit since you were last in the top flight .

 

[Casual Observer]

Just needs approval from the mayor now, which looks likely.

And for Sainsburys to sell some of the land behind the current main stand for a sensible price.

We changed from claret and blue about '72 about the time Bert Head retired. Was it big Mal who took over? He changed the colours, the nickname, the crest, bought in all sorts of things...
