I don't give a s*** what a bunch of nigels think about us.

You must be in a minority then, I thought the general concensus was that a lot of Charlton fans held Palace fans in contempt, because they wouldn't admit to a feeling of rivalry.

Historically Millwall are our rivals and just because they're crap at the moment, everyone seems to have forgotten about them. But one day they will be back and then we'll remember what is worth 'hating'
Bump!
So, they will be back in 7 days.
After that, how many will have changed their opinion?
As for Jordan, I have no doubts that he has Palace's best interests at heart and is determined to see Premiership football at Selhurst, renovate the ground and give you guys a team you can be proud of again.
However I question his business sense and whether his desire for fame, ie his ego, will ultimately cost him these objectives. He seems to enjoy rubbing people up the wrong way and perhaps those Observer articles and the comments aimed at us for being "morons and imbeciles" demonstrate to me that maybe he is too much of a fan, and not enough of a diplomat and businessman. His ego also made him participate in a bizarre press conference where he claimed to hold the freehold, when that was palpably untrue, I just wonder that while he saved your club a few years ago whether he has the nous to do what is necessary which means surrendering some control of the running of the club, and maybe also some part of the ownership to someone who can unite the club and ground and then find the necessary finances to rebuild Selhurst, or take Palace to a new ground. What seems evident is that he doesn't have the money to buy the freehold and understandably if he has the money, he isn't going to invest in the ground until the ownership is resolved.
Sooner or later he might find himself running out of money and then you'll find that his priority will be number one - fair enough, in the meantime his ego might not allow him to lose face and get someone in who will manage the club and/or invest in it. In fact I think his style will actively dissuade investors, while he may have saved Palace, he may well end up leaving you in just a desperate position as the club was when he bought it. On the other hand who knows? Promotion and Premiership money might solve all these problems.
Never had a problem with Palace, they just took advantage of a bad situation for us. The BIG one is Millwall and always will be, although i don't hate them, footballs only a game when all is said and done.

Already feel more anxious than I would a week before any Palace game. A horrible reminder of what life used to be like. Millwall will always be our rivals.

What an astonishingly prophetic post BFR.
