If we are just venting general things, why can't people say Millwall or Brighton without changing them to Millw**k or Br*ghton? It's not like Voldermort, they aren't going to suddenly appear when you call their names. It's a genuine question, are people thinking a Brighton fan will come on here and see that we have called them "Brighton" and go back to his mates and go "lads, lads, you'll never guess what, a Palace fan called us Brighton and didn't use any asterisks"? Sorry folks, but asterisks don't hurt people. I wouldn't pee my knickers if I saw us called Cryst*l P*lace....

I'm sorry but this really bugs me. If you're too lazy to type 'Sam Allardyce' or 'Allardyce' then the correct abbreviation for OUR manager is SA. When you consider Sam has come here to do his best, hasn't said anything against the fans and has just had arguably the best transfer window and is the best chance of us staying up, I'm not sure why some are feeling the need to label him BFS aka Big Fat Sam. This is an absurd way to treat any member of our team. It's not like we got rid of a fan favourite in Pardew, most people wanted him gone. It's also not like Allardyce has ever been a Brighton fan or slated our club/fans in the past. Just because some of you lived in fantasy land and wanted Mourinho to step down from United to lead us to a 6th placed finish, now is the time to support the man we got in, the man who has never been relegated. The man who has now got only our second clean sheet of the season. We should back every one at our club and give everyone a second chance now the window has closed including Townsend etc. Good luck SA! Totally agree. Glad someone finally came out and said it! I think 'Big Sam' is probably OK though.

He offered up tennis players who play for hours and every day as a contrast. Mind you Mac did look completely sha**ed last night.

Even when they are thinking about their most hated rival, they are also thinking about arse.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

I think Big Sam is fine also, although the abbreviation there is BS which could be seen as worse haha. There's just no way you can spin Big Fat Sam as an affectionate nickname. My thinking is as well, every other club is going to call him Big Fat Sam, call him a crook etc and say he's archaic and outdated. It's a bit like how Palace is such an unfashionable club that the likes of the other London clubs Totteham/Arsenal/Chelse/Man Utd can't fathom why we keep bugging them and won't just go down to the Championship where we belong. An unfashionable manager for an unfashionable club with an unfashionable ground. Let's all get behind that and p*** off everyone else in football, not join them in calling our manager names.

While we’re getting this stuff out there; Calling Charlton ‘Clowns’. Surely the most inoffensive and meaningless nickname in football. It’s total sh*t.
