A new era of total football is on the way to Selhurst Park!!

Tis that

It was great, but it is history.

Did anyone else come home on the Special Train. I can just remember how quiet it was on the train. No celebrating? I think we were all in shock! Made up for it after though, but mentally draining on the day.

I was at the game and also the 9-0 from Liverpool.
I remember that, although it sounds stupid, the 9-0 was a right laugh. (But probably not for Perry Suckling).
We started cheering every Liverpool and Palace pass and we really couldn't see the penalty miss we had as we were so far away. I think Thomas missed it!
After the match we hung around for at least 20 minutes singing "we're going to score in a minute". Everyone was laughing and happy - kind of puts the scunthorpe result into perspective in a way, although they are no Liverpool.
I was a teenager at the time and relatively boisterous (am bad enough now!). I remember at the cup game massive Palace fans lifting me up above their heads when we scored, which was pretty scary as the Villa ground is so steep anyway. I was still nearly 6 foot and 12 stone in those days so no rag-doll!
The balloons were a right laugh as well, quite a few people were crap at blowing them up! Reminds me of that beach ball Sunderland thing last season.

Well, those were the days, pure nostalgia, I think they must be Palace's best times so far - and I was privileged to be there.
Come on Palace-let's not wait long for the good times to come again please!

Red and Blue Army!

I was at a family lunch I could not get out of.

Had to keep running to the car to hear the score. The reception was rubbish, as I was in the Lakes.

Was so gutted to be hemmed in when all I wanted was to go mad!
