Football fans have long memories John. I don't think it's Palace that people have the hump with, they were just the opposition when Mr Courtney worked his magic. Still, he partially redeemed himself at Wembley in '92 and with hindsight we were better placed for the top flight then.

The initial goal - somebody says it was defo a free kick - then why 10 minutes later when Boumsong did exactly the same to Bellamy didn't we get a free kick ?

Exactly what I thought, Owen took two glances at Neill while the ball was in the air whereas Neill had his eyes on the ball, we should have had the free kick for backing in!

Compare this knee jerk reaction by the clueless fools at the FA to their lack of action when Diouf blatently cheated at Ewood. In that instance they said that as the ref had not seen it as a dive then they couldn't act.

They should be ashamed of themselves for ignoring the issues that are really affecting the game and acting as the medias' puppets.

Any ideas on meeting up in pub before the match?

The Antigallican's under new management !!!

And for the first time in its history has some decent reviews ....

ANTI-G opposite Charlton station

Think we'd have gone there anyway ... but still

Tickets are available on the gate on Monday night - £15 - bargain !!

look forward to seeing the 'huge wife screen TV' mentioned on Tris' link!

MMFH suggested the Rose of Denmark just further down Woolwich Rd but will try the Anti first and see how it is. Should be there from 6.
