Wish i worked in the city
We sent the palace down i would be singing out loud top of my voice with the added line of whos laughing now on the end
I am hoping that they are the example and they go Bust
The wife's just rung me to say that at about 11:25 they wandered past her building and were singing their little hearts out. Bless 'em.
What I will say on this is that its karma. What goes around comes around.
There is one Palace lad at work that has given me no end of stick for being a lowly league 1 team this season, for losing in the play-offs and generally wishing us no end of ill, including that he hopes we go bust as a result of not getting promotion. Irony of ironies!!!!
I've not said anything to him whilst all this has been going on, there's no need. Seeing the anguish on his face at the moment is enough.
You are showing remarkable self restraint there, sideways. Don't think I'd be so forgiving myself - I'd be waving a five pound note in his face and laughing uncontrollably if I'd had to put up with that kind of bollocks...
I'm sure all of the AFC Wimbledon fans are shedding a tear for all those Crystal Palace fans who showed them so much compassion, support and understanding during Wimbledon FC's last days at Selhurst Park .......................................... karma indeed

Guilfoyle, talking to sportingintelligence this morning, says that reports that the club will be liquidised and go out of business at 3pm today if a deal is not reached are “somewhat off the mark.”
There is a 3pm deadline, set by Guilfoyle, but if it isn’t met, Guilfoyle will begin what he describes as “Liquidation with a small ‘L’.”
In other words, he will begin to sell the club’s players to raise funds to keep the club running for a while longer. If no deal has been done by CPFC 2010 and the bank after a period likely to be weeks rather than days, and all Palace’s players have been sold or released, then Guilfoyle will resign and walk away, and the club would face the very real prospect of going out of existence.
But the situation is not that so dire in the coming hours that it will cease to exist today.

Whatever happens, and as said it won't be over today, the Palace fans have done fantastically well to organise this protest in under 24 hours. They are also getting themselves on the media and bombarding the banks with emails to up the pressure.
I hope it never happens but in the same circumstances what would we be able to do?
As amusing as MOG's picture is, it's a shame Jon Fortune didn't spend a little more time in school studying and a little less perfecting his 50 yard lob forward.
I sent the 'Placee' down indeed!
I'm not a fan of Crystal Palace football club but I have a few friends who are.
On a human level, I can't help feeling sorry for them and wishing them well.
Just because some of Palace's other supporters are arses it doesn't mean I have to join in and be an arse too.

Spent 18 years living in Palace country, never had one of them wish us ill, unless we were playing them or our result had some affect on them. For the most part they are decent enough people, and I don't want to see any club outside the
Sky 4 go out of business.

Impressive indeed. I heard after seeing teenagers twirling scarves the governor of the Bank Of Scotland has agreed to sell the ground to CP2010 instead of making millions more by selling it to a property developer.
As for the media, turn on sky sports news and heard all about Gareth Barry's ankle.

That hasn't hit AP or Reuters yet, if true. Hope it is true, for their fans. Hate the club, but every CPFC fan I've known/worked with have been decent, like-minded people.

That should of come with a warning. V.funny! ;-p
Talk about how things in the past have always worked out will be ended within a year and clubs will not chase the dream by risking their future.

Exactly. All those hoping that as of 3pm there will be no more Crystal Palace are dreaming. They won't go bust today.
