Sad to report that an oldish bloke sitting behind my mate in the SEJ, (bang in front of the press boxes), thought it acceptable to shout out "you black ****" every time Zaha got the ball. I asked him to give me the blokes seat number but he said its not worth it. I'm shocked that nobody around him said anything, I would have 100% called him out.
I thought that too... I laughed out loud.. it was in the 65th minute - I should’ve taken a pic of the screen.
I once worked with the female head of the world’s largest single malt whisky. Her social media soubriquet was Glenda Fiddich.
An unexpected boon from my research. Isn’t it strange that Greater Watford has spawned several world renowned singers & Croydon many ordinary comedians? Both Jack Dee & ‘Magda’ from Lead Balloon hail from Bromley. Clearly, a funnier place than Croydon.
Which fans get most exercised by us? The runaway winner here must be Udinese. QED. Btw, did anyone else notice that Sherlock went silent just around the time Behrami went back to the mothership?
I was thinking about the atmosphere in the ground, where we could all boo our pantomime villains, not outside where we were normal people
Shocked at this. Haven't heard any of that rubbish at a home game for a long time. Thought we were better than that.
Must be why the Palace fans are suggesting we are racist . Shame when due to one idiot a whe fan base is tarred like that . No place for it. You just know we are going to have someone sent off on Sunday now for a relatively minor or harmless thing ..
I sit in that area and heard no such comments throughout the match. People would react at the time if something like that was said and stop them or report them, I certainly would.
You do realise that the press boxes stretch about 50 yards across the stand or do you think I'd make stuff like that up for a few poxy likes on an anonymous internet forum? For the record, I would estimate that from where I was sitting, (and unbelievably I didn't hear him either), he would have been about 20-30 seats towards the Rookery one row behind. So row P, seat 70 to 80 ish.
This has been the first season in the PL era that 4 clubs have 100% records after the opening 3 matches, and only the third in top flight history. The last was 1932. And we are one of them. Wow
Depressing. Part of our following does seem to be stubbornly racist. I was stunned by the level of abuse that Alan Nyom got at WBA away last year and a lot of that was straight out of the 1970's/80s book of useful phrases for football fans
Looking at the highlights, Pereyra's goal, what struck me was that on a fast break out of defence by Capoue, when Maxi shoots Gray, Deeney, Capoue and Holebas are all in the area occupying defenders.
I had a look last night (v bored) and a surprising number and mix of clubs have managed three in a row at the start of a PL season. Four is a much more exclusive club. Even if we don't manage to beat Spurs, no club has ever been relegated after winning their first three PL games of a season.
Not when it’s such a career ending, murderous, worst tackle ever! Those Crystal Palace supporters have a point. Should be jailed for it and be damned the hypocrisy of it.
Just had a read of their forum, I can understand why they're so upset, I would be to if we lost to Watford. Hope the club provide Capoue a lawyer for his life threatening assault on Zaha. They really would be irrelevant without Zaha.
I'll give you 10,000,000,000-1 odds that 4 teams winning 38 games happens, and would truly encourage you to bet big.
Moreover, the fact that he thinks it is OK to shout something which is utterly repellent to right thinking people, is only possible because he goes through life not being challenged on his despicable outbursts. The only thing needed for racism to flourish is for non racists to stand by and do nothing, to paraphrase a well worn quote.
By the way, it's perfectly fine to call Zaha a ****, a ****, a ******, a pile of utter **** **** **** ****, but not to bring his race into it. He is a ****. He's a massive ****, but his racial heritage has nothing to do with it.
