Palace

[samflitt]

This "Palace Ultras" thing is a bit cringeworthy though isn't it? They can keep their continental style orchestrated happy clappy shite.

Give me "Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal" any day

How? They were obviously fed up with the atmosphere so started a movement to improve it and it has succeeded.

Obviously they're not 'ultras'

[BournemouthRED]

a few signings and a bit of belief shown in this team for the end of the season would've improved the atmosphere imo.

As it is i think the majority like me were thinking, 'how the fuck is this team going to cope in the next couple of weeks? yet alone till may'

palace fans were excellent yesterday, the thousands of empty seats didn't help our cause either. top of the league and yet it felt like we were playing out an end of season here comes 4th game.

The only way there will be any sort of decent atmosphere at our place is when the club accept that we fans are the club and not customers as they want us to be lets be honest they dont want the old school fans like us!

Palace got organised a few years ago and call their group ' Homesdale Fanatics' and I thought they were blinding yesterday (except for that annoying drum).
As for our so-called singing section I think they are absolutely shite! Not only have they got a shit selection of songs but a lot of the time I've noticed they don't join in when other parts of the ground start songs (especially blocks 12/13). It's as if they think they're the only ones who can start songs-pathetic!

Palace fans aren't just good away from home.
I went to the away game at Palace and they were pretty much the same there.

If you compare the demographics between the two sets of fans you'll probably find a higher percentage of "ordinary" local people following Palace.

If we ever start singing boring shite for hours on end played out to the sound of a tedious drum beat, you'll be longing for the return of the silence !

Were we all supposed to be impressed by Palace's school choir yesterday?

Next season they'll be singing Ee Aye Ee aye Ee aye o

Have to agree. Singing "Whooaaahh" over and over for 90 fucking droning minutes is not supporting your team and not creating a great atmosphere. It was fucking tedious to listen to tbh.

This game really demonstrated just how boring our "style" of football is. Tippy tappy passy pass pass at a snail's pace. Reminds me of the boring as fuck Italian football all the "Soccer purists" raged about in the 1980's - 200 pointless passes across the back 4 and lump it long in hope the big lad up front might get on the end of it. At one stage I counted 8 passes over a 3 yard distance in the space of 10 seconds or so between Cazorla and Nacho. Are we really that desperate to get our passing stats up?!

Anybollocks, a dreadful first half that improved alot in the 2nd with a vital 3 points. Job done.

One thing that really stood out again for me is the amount of thankless dog work that Giroud does. He shows for every shit ball, every aerial challenge, holds up superbly and lays off/links up well. His part in Ox's second goal was top notch. Yeah he's not Suarez or RVJC or Messi or whatever the fuck, but he is a billion times better than the lazy Fat Drunk will ever be. Ox was excellent in patches too and Mert was superb.

Agree with arseofacrow re Arteta. Been one of his biggest fans on here over the last couple of years as I think he has done an excellent job in the DM role (particularly after me suffering through watching Mong slump around the place for years) but I think he is getting leggy and is probably coming towards the end of his career in many ways. Still, I'd have him in there ahead of Hollywood Tackle Flamoney any day tbh. Don't get me wrong, Flamoney has contributed and adds steel but he is an accident waiting to happen every time he's on the pitch.

Fair enough. Let's ban away supporters and fill the space with more silent (except for moaning) early leavers.

No, I'd much rather have to be told what to do for 90 mins by some brainless cock banging a drum and facing the opposite way to the pitch. That's what its all about clearly. As long as we win the singing, who gives a shit about the result.

Change the score to Arsenal 0 Palace 2 because clearly we lost the most important battle of them all

Bloody hell, you're acting as if we either have one or the other . While I agree that results ALWAYS come first, you cannot deny that a game accompanied by an electric atmosphere isn't great fun to be at. Take the Barca game in 2011, Napoli earlier this year and the NLD's etc. Fantastic amount of noise at those games and I would rather that than the silent bollocks we are usually used to.
Or would you rather we all sit down, shut up and fuck supporting the team?

Isn't that the club's ideal scenario ?
