In an article by Thom Gibbs regarding Premiership clubs 'DNA':
Crystal Palace
Supposed DNA
The team of the 80s (confusing, as they weren’t that good during them) south London and proud, bit fight-y but neither as rough as Millwall nor as wimpy as Charlton. Arguably the ultimate yo-yo club.
So are we going to let this obviously biased and misled reporter get away with slander on our great club?
Suggestions please for how we can re-educate him . . .

A man that supports QPR and looks like this can't really call any other team wimpy, in my opinion

Are we wimpy? YesDDOUBLEE said:A man that supports QPR and looks like this can't really call any other team wimpy, in my opinionDo I think the weakest fan in the west stand could take him on with a prawn sandwich in one hand, whilst still wrapped in a blanket? Definitely

I've just spent a fair few minutes figuring out what on earth he meant comparing us to a burger bar before I realised12

Well if he's missed that Palace have a major try hard identity crisis over allegedly being South London it's not as if accuracy matters to him. But I guess Croydon and proud doesn't sound as good4

we’ll have to toughen up and get a lot better to be wimpy11

He’s Bromley based according to his Twitter so definitely has some sort of Palace allegiance. They all do over that way… :-)3

Typical bollocks regurgitated by anyone associated with those drips.
Inferiority complex about every aspect of their being, so they rewrite their entire history.

There’s one in Woolwich, Bexleyheath and Weliing but not Charlton.
Piss poor knowledge that15 -
He is QPR, clearly a twat.0

The team of the 80s (confusing, as they weren’t that good during them)
England international Terry Venables had just given up playing to be appointed Palace Manager.
In his first season(1979), they won the old Second Division title with a very young side.
Promoted to the top League, they started the season unbeaten for a long stretch and went top of the table.
As usual the media fawned all over them, calling them the "Team of the 80s".
It was only 1979 lol
That was as good as it got. Then they got smashed by Liverpool and the wheels fell off.
Relegated the next season.

QPR are the most pointless club in London.2

Struck a nerve though0

A team that concedes regularly before half and full time. I'd say the journalist has actually done his homework?!
You don't need to defend all things Charlton. It doesn't make you more of a fan!0 -

Surely, it is up to the players to prove him wrong .................. at the moment unfortunately, they are proving him right0

Is it this same bloke next to Pearce?
He's the most Charlton fan looking person I've ever seen in my life.
If I was on a train with that I would lean over and ask him if he was going Portsmouth Monday and whereabouts in West Stand he sits. FFS. :-)
Bit of projecting going on here me thinks now that he's grown a beard and got a cap. Bit like when Eli becomes Hawk in Cobra Kai.

It behind a paywall so whatever he says falls on deaf ears as far as I'm concerned.
Can a football club have DNA anyway? If genetic instructions for the development, functioning and growth of a club were passed down the generations then we'd see very few promotion and relegations without the same constant yo-yo clubs.
It's like saying that society has DNA and cannot change.0 -
