First topic message reminder :

It was always going to be hard for Hughton.

The Norwich family never really took to him as one of their own

I agree, Rooney plays too deep which stops link up play between him and rvp.

I meant strikeforce in the premier league Toppy, sorry for the confusion.

CFCNick

Stop being so biased, your strikers flop because you buy them well past their best and your manager himself thought Rooney a better option than Torres and Eto'o hence his very public pursuit. Swap Torres for Van Persie and slot Rooney in behind and your team would be much improved.

If Moyes can work on how Kagawa and Rooney play together then I think United will flourish. It will mean one is always closer to the end product, but at the moment they are in each others way too much

Not sure if you can accommodate the pair into the same team, we generally play with wide men so starting with both would leave the centre of midfield even more vulnerable than it is. The only way would be to drop Rooney back into central midfield saying that but it would be a waste of his attacking talents. Unfortunately for Kagawa I see no future for him at the club and it's exactly why I wasn't concerned at missing out on Ozil because the same problem would arise but you'd then have one player to fit into one position.

Moyes' Everton system was built with one wider man then Pienaar in the inside winger role, not really a winger as such. Much like most teams nowadays in the Premier League.

I think there is a fit, but you've just got to drill them into noticing the others pattern of play until its natural. If you take Kagawa as a better version of Pienaar, then Rooney drifting more to the right but centrally free behind RVP, it should come to work. Not gonna work without minutes together. Its how a trio of Cazorla, Ozil and Walcott will work for Arsenal.

I think pardew will come off. He lives near palace and as the second longest manager in the prem . Time for him to get sacked.


Seriously if it wasn't palace ( who he is well linked at allready and he knows the new owners) I wouldnr want him sacked from Newcastle. But as it's palace yep he is he perfect manager for us

Nick . Being a Brighton fan that hates palace reminds me of a scientologist .

This rivallry isn't real dude. And you don't have to just hate fans because of who you support..

Problem is our wide men are utter crap - so why force into a system we don't have the players for rather than working out a system that makes the most of our best players??

If you know the history its not. Yes the geographical side of things, doesn't make it you're typical derby, but both sides very much hate each other.

We don't even have any rivals in our county, as were the only side really! We like all the little clubs.

Ipswich and Norwich is one of the biggest in the country even though they are 40 miles away, I guess you are right in that context. Surely Palace have always been better than brighton though?

My personal opinion with Brighton is that their sudden rise in stature and having a nice ground bringing in some of the fair weather sort means that they need a rivalry to cling to. Palace is it.

I wouldnt say Palace are considered a rival at West Ham.

Getting back to relevant matters...

Appears Alex Tettey might have to have surgery, which is quite the blow for us. Been hitting the form he had pre-injury last year, and this means Bradley Johnson will probably play which is never a good thing

I'm not sure I see that happening, I mean really he plays the same mentality of football that Hughton does, and while the fans love him obviously, general feeling is that would be better off not happening.

I'm still convinced we'll make a run at Lennon from Celtic...

Palace over the last 25 yrs have been a lot better at peak than all the other 4 mentioned including west ham.

However us west ham, palace , Millwall and Charlton fans all live in close proximately and if you are from urban areas you will know many fans from all. And each game is a derby.

It is only recently that west ham have got better than palace.

palace and west ham are by far the bigger 2 clubs out of these 5 mentioned based on time in the top leagues!




The fact that palace dont really have a main rivalry themselves- means you might as well lump the teams that hate us with a passion(that think they have a rivalry with us). And that includes, west ham, Charlton, Brighton and off course(probably the real rivalry)_ MILLWALL.

Although Millwall have never been or will never be in palaces league. and palace are not in west hams at the moment.

But trust me on this if palace beat west ham- they will be more gutted than losing any other game- and that is not just because of our lack of quality- its because there is history between the two sets of fans.

Brighton have one derby=.. palace have 4 BUT none are even close to a real true rivalry(Tottenham / arsernal)

/headsgone.

talk about just making stuff up for the heck of it.

At palaces peak(top 3 in the top division) WEST HAM were in a lower league

since then and until 2005 - both teams were very similar,

However the killer blow was probably when palace beat west ham in the play off final and went up. Next season palace went down and west ham went up and stuck there(well done hammers)

Palace went crazy trying to stick in the PL and due to that almost went bust a couple of years ago, we spiralled out of control and got worse. This is one reason why the owners today are not doing anything stupid.

west ham last 8 years- much better, before then (within my memorable lifetime- very similar but palace had more highs- 3rd in division 1(PL equivalent)).

but what i can say for fact is that over these years palace have been closer in quality to west ham over Brighton ,Millwall or Charlton!!

West ham will certainly not see us as a threat!
However you ask any west ham fan which game they would hate to lose the most. It would be palace..

Rivalries are about fans, and sometimes certain fans of the same club feel differently. I know plenty of older palace fans that really hate brighton(not many young ones like nick)


personally it has never stuck with me- because until recently we never even played them!! I have been to plenty of west ham palace games(when i used to go) and the atmosphere was allways buzzing. It was allways a massive fixture for both sets of fans.

That's rubbish, yes palace hate Millwalll (don't we all!!) but i know a lot of people who support palace, and them and there dads etc class as there rivals. Im not getting into this as im hanging out my ass atm! But we do have a fierce rivalry, couldn't care less if other sides care or not about it, because its OUR rivalry, nothing to do with other clubs! No one cares about Charlton.

Leyton Orient, think there is a rivalry with us (who are they Laugh ) We also have a rivalry with Southampton and for non geographical reasons, there has never been any love loss with Leeds.

Nick - I went to Charlton Millwall recently with a Millwall fan.

As a palace fan i couldn't believe what I heard. Charlton fans at one end singing how much they hate palace, then the Millwall crew got involved singing about the 'stripy Nigels'. You couldn't make it up..

They care about hating us when we dont even play them..

Half the bar Millwall fans used to drink and the other half Charlton fans used to drink. Then there was also a few tables were palace fans used to drink.

It was a great football pub to drink in, rarely any trouble but great banter between the sets of fans.

That is the thing about Brighton.

WE rarely see each other in every normal day life(everyone in between Croydon and Brighton seem to support Man U(cough!!) So it doesn't really add to the passion. The  rivalry is based on being passed down from older fans or family.. Mine is more about previous experience..

/headsgone.

talk about just making stuff up for the heck of it.

At palaces peak(top 3 in the top division) WEST HAM were in a lower league

since then and until 2005 - both teams were very similar,

However the killer blow was probably when palace beat west ham in the play off final and went up. Next season palace went down and west ham went up and stuck there(well done hammers)

Palace went crazy trying to stick in the PL and due to that almost went bust a couple of years ago, we spiralled out of control and got worse. This is one reason why the owners today are not doing anything stupid.

west ham last 8 years- much better, before then (within my memorable lifetime- very similar but palace had more highs- 3rd in division 1(PL equivalent)).

but what i can say for fact is that over these years palace have been closer in quality to west ham over Brighton ,Millwall or Charlton!!

West ham will certainly not see us as a threat!
However you ask any west ham fan which game they would hate to lose the most. It would be palace..

Rivalries are about fans, and sometimes certain fans of the same club feel differently. I know plenty of older palace fans that really hate brighton(not many young ones like nick)


personally it has never stuck with me- because until recently we never even played them!! I have been to plenty of west ham palace games(when i used to go) and the atmosphere was allways buzzing. It was allways a massive fixture for both sets of fans.
Yet couple of seasons after you were 3rd you got relegated and west ham were promoted, so cant have been much between you

The west ham fabs ive spoke with (not loads I admit) have always considered millwall and chelsea more of a rival than palace

Also since that one off season, in all time premiership points west ham are 11th best team while palace are 33rd. Suggests there has been quite a difference during the prem era

Compelling I wouldn't expect you to understand the fan politics of south east/east London clubs and you wouldn't get me talking to you about the manc scouse rivalries either.

The only west ham fans you will get that are rivals with the Millwall ones are not even footy fans.. There are 100% hooligan/firm orientated and only represent a small percentage of fans..

And in regards to Chelsea-I could argue that that is way more ridiculous based on the respective teams qualities.

but Chelsea also have a firm dont they. so maybe the fans you talked to are at the lower scale of the 'football' fan

That or you get all your info from films like the football factory and green street!

Isn't West Ham Spurs a biggy (for some unfathomable reason outside the loop I admit)?

Yes west ham and Charlton historically have a rivalry due to being local.(other sides of the river)

that is how the majority of rivalries happened back in the day. Back in that day off course Arsenal was also a south London club and very close to Charlton

Sorry Mysti, Palace would be nowhere near the game west ham fans least want to lose. Millwall, Spurs and Chelsea always the top three.

In recent history, our lowest points have generally been what would be considered a reasonably good average for yourselves. I'd say Palace were above the rest, maybe even Fulham apart from the last 10 years, but even in the 11 or so years before my time that you err alive, we had a team that won the fa cup and nearly won the old first division.

Even for me, Millwall rank above Spurs and that is coming from someone who didn't see the sides meet till my teens really. Chelsea's money has made them less interesting because there's not as much competition between us.

Palace are likely near Charlton (who's hatred of Millwall makes them far less hated) and above Fulham and then the surrounding sides, but I would say at the moment more people would e annoyed to lose to Orient.

This isn't a positional thing as such, Millwall are a real rank below, but I have never heard a West Ham fan really care about Palace, and my father is a hammer

That's rubbish, yes palace hate Millwalll (don't we all!!) but i know a lot of people who support palace, and them and there dads etc class as there rivals. Im not getting into this as im hanging out my ass atm! But we do have a fierce rivalry, couldn't care less if other sides care or not about it, because its OUR rivalry, nothing to do with other clubs! No one cares about Charlton.

Leyton Orient, think there is a rivalry with us (who are they Laugh ) We also have a rivalry with Southampton and for non geographical reasons, there has never been any love loss with Leeds.
Nice choice of words for a Brighton fan drumroll
