Leeds v Crystal Palace Match Thread

no but we were tipped by a lot of pundits to go down that season given our general circumstances, and you're splitting hairs old boy, Charlton used to start well and drop, we generally start poorly and rise, this season I predict we go up, down a bit, then up again.👍

I suspect I might have predicted that we would plummet through the relegation 'Trapdoor'. 😀

Seeing as that's an annual event about as reliable as Christmas I'd say that's a pretty safe bet.

I accept I have gained a reputation as an 'Elijah of Doom'.
I do not recall predicting our demise this season, the medication must have worked. 😛
I have given consideration to not engaging in prognostication apropos our individual games or prospects for the season.

Your prognostications apropos our performances pursuant to others less pessimistic or doom-mongering simultaneously and irrefutably provide aspects of balance, caution, equivocation, grandiloquence and a welcome excuse for p*ss-taking. Please continue.

Bravo !
I garland this rhetorical panache and sesquipedalian prose with approbation. 😍

Remember them beating us 5-2 back in the day? The only time I’ve been there we got stuffed 3-0 as well. Losing 0-1 at selhurst on a cold Tuesday night when Kolinko decided to play rush goalie

Happy days 😃

Don't remind me of 1-0 home defeats against Grimsby. I took a Grimsby supporting colleague to a game back in Feb 84, I think it was. We were GRIM.

I recall this debacle before a miniscule attendance.GRIM indeed.
George Wood in goal and the team included Hilaire, Nebbeling and Nicholas.

Those were our worst years. There used to be maybe 5000-8000.

I recall attending games in that period when the attendances were in the 4,000s.

I actually took up referring back then as watching Palace was ruining my weekends. Plus the money helped put dinner on the table. Sadly, I still when finishing my games (early due to lack of light in the winter) would ride (I had a moped) over to Selhurst and walk through the opened Holmesdale gates and catch the last bit of the match. Just couldn’t get it out of my system and still can’t. Even this weekend gone I was at the O2 watching Sqeeze and Madness and was streaming the match whilst listening to the concert - HELP!
