Millwall go up obviously.
Rather Palace to win the FA cup is a bold choice. Immortalise themselves as FA cup winners, European tour, diminish the only bragging right we have over them. That win could change the trajectory of their club.
Millwall having one season in the Prem with a record negative goal difference wouldn't bother me.6 -
this - Millwall with all that parachute money - noSporadicAddick said:I'm afraid its a Palace win for me. Lets face it, they are an established Premier League club and they hate Brighton more than us. If they win, its just another Premier League club winning a cup.
Millwall, on the other hand, are our true rivals, born out of geography and often split within families. We can take some comfort that they have won nothing, have spent only two seasons in the top flight, and are generally a much smaller club. It's important that we remain the top club in (real) South London.0 -

Millwall go up, come back down, waste all their parachute money on policing then go down to League One. This will give us a chance to sort ourselves out.
Also Millwall will have a chance to immortalise themselves as the worst Premier League team ever.
*Was bad enough when Millwall got to the Cup Final and bragging to us about getting into Europe (even though they had no business being there) never mind Palace winning the whole thing.2 -
People seem to be presuming Millwall will go straight back down and blow their parachute money.
We should know better than that. In reality, they will become the next Brentford / Bournemouth. It's the Charlton way.
Best case scenario, they go down, but they have a tonne of parachute money and piss the Championship the next season. They are a very well run club.5 -
A season of Millwall in the top division gets forgotten about within a couple of years, especially if they did a Luton / Huddersfield. Luton are an apparently well run club but the parachute money hasn’t done them much good after getting pumped every week last season.
Crystal Palace would forever be the 2025 FA Cup winners.1 -
As other have said, neither is likely to happen but ..
Spanners to get promoted, if only to watch them get pummelled every week and get relegated with a lowest points total, largest goals against tally and worst goal difference in top flight history.
There'd be every chance that Palace's 9-0 shellacking at Liverpool in 89/90 could be "bettered", which would bring some amusement.
Weigh that against the oldest sporting club in the known universe finally winning a trophy. Eurgh!0 -
Millwall to go up personally. I hate Millwall more than Palace, but if they were to go up, it could be a brutal year for them. Ipswich spending all that money this season and being miles off shows the gulf.
The bottom three have been so bad in the Prem this year, and it’s a shame because Spurs, West Ham and Man Utd have been toilet as well. It would’ve been great if Spurs had got sucked into a real battle1 -
I'd further this by saying I'd agree to us not going up if it meant the filth not winning the cup.blackpool72 said:Millwall as they would get dicked every week and come straight back down.
Palace winning the FA Cup is just unthinkable
So back to the OP, Millwall, no contest.1 -
Surely we can rely on Man City and Burnley doing the business for us - can’t we?2
-
You answered your own question. But gun to head, Palace to win the cup, they are not our rivals.1

Well for starters mate they're in an FA Cup final while we're 5th in league one. The money they have now in the PL and the fact they are being watched globally every week means they are miles ahead of us. At a time when we've been unable to capture new generations of local supporters due to being utter guff they have been able to do the opposite. Kids that would have been in Arsenal or Chelsea kits round Croydon/Surrey are now all wearing Palace shirts.letthegoodtimesroll said:
How are Palace light years ahead of Charlton ? Of the two stadiums I’d say that The Valley is light years ahead of Selhurst with its wooden stand on one side (how is that still getting a safety certificate ?) and naff AW stand opposite.Croydon said:I hate Palace more than most but the FA Cup has lost a lot of relevance in recent seasons. I could forget about that within a few weeks. Millwall being up would be in our face week in week out for the entire season.
Palace are already lightyears ahead of where we are as a club these days. Can't let the unthinkable happen if Millwall make it to the big money promised land and they disappear from reach too.
Their players are probably light years ahead than ours but that’s because of the PL money paying the ‘PL wages’.That’s temporary, as it is for every PL team outside the ‘top 6’ clubs.
Is their support base any bigger or better than ours ? I doubt it. Most of their ‘support’ is temporary and will likely only be there because it’s the PL.
They are the definition of gimps but sadly with the money in that league these days we are never catching up without a miracle. Unfortunately we were in the Premier League a decade too soon.5 -
Millwall. The cup win "lasts forever" in a manner of speaking.1

Hmmm, let me think, Millwall to go up I reckon.18

You surprise me there mateMillwallFan said:Hmmm, let me think, Millwall to go up I reckon.1 -
All jokes aside, how would you rate your chances were you to go up? Not just next season, but how you would then move on as a club with the parachute payments and financial injection if you were to go back down?MillwallFan said:Hmmm, let me think, Millwall to go up I reckon.0 -
Millwall 100%
It’s the one thing we have to lord over our rivals0 -
Loads of clubs hate Millwall and vise versa. It's a pretty long list.
It certainly won't just be a Charlton problem.
I don't want to witness Millwall becoming a bigger club. Unfortunately a stint in the Premier league will certainly attract more long term supporters and the new den will be full.
My answer is I'd prefer Millwall to get promoted instead of palace winning the fa cup, but I quite like option 3.
Option 3 is Charlton win the playoffs, palace lose the final, Millwall stay down, Charlton manage to live and breathe in the championship and we beat Millwall at the valley...1 -
I said on here before, if we went up I’d give us one, maybe two, flukey wins and a few draws. We would more than likely beat the record for the lowest points tally. But our expectations would be so low it wouldn’t be a massive deal to us.DamoNorthStand said:

If nothing else it will establish us even more as a solid championship club.Every penny of the Romaine Esse sale went back in to reinforcing the squad. Hence why we can still compete despite having lots out injured. Word is young JB wants to really go for it but the only thing holding him back is FFP. So any money we make from a brief spell in the PL would be reinvested, I would think.For the record, I don’t think we’ll do it in Saturday. But it’s nice going in to the last game of the season with something to play for.It’s next season I’m looking forward to. Neil’s record has been superb since he came to us. He will have his first pre season with us and have all the players coming back from injuries, we’ll be getting rid of a few of the older players, and have some very promising youngsters coming through. I’m excited, i’m not gonna lie.Actually hope you boys come up this season. If nothing else it’ll be good to start the 25/26 season with a 4 or 6 point head start 😉
oh, and f**k palace. 😊14 -

We just lost to Wrexham in our big game, they've just beaten Aston Villa, champions league quarter finalists, to reach an FA cup final.
One of their players (Eze) is currently worth more than our whole club.
Their timing couldn't have been any better with their promotion, and our relegation couldn't have been poorer timed.1 - Sponsored links:

Then there's also stuff like this:
We are so far behind they consider Fulham before us.4 -
Trump to declare the UK as the 51st state and ban "soccer" as it's "Bad, very bad. You know, we've discussed, bad people".2

Neither. But if it absolutely had to be one, it would be Surrey to win the cup, all-day long.0

Millwall up then straight back down, if the stripey feckers win it, it will be on record forever ...... people don't remember a spell in the prem, I almost can't remember ours !!1
-
It doesn't bother me if either achieves their goal. Unless they play Charlton, it doesn't affect me what they do, so not going to stress over it.2

If palace win the fa cup, the emotional turmoil will resemble the ending scene from the film Se7en when Brad Pitt gets told what is in the box and reality of it gradually hits him.2

palace are sooooo far away from us in journey time and football standings , completely irrelevant
the scum aren't too far away, reachable in a season or two
lets keep them in reach and put them back where they belong as the mingiest club in south east london2 -
You get into Europe winning the fa Cup still? If so, I'd go Palace then for them to draw someone like Red Star Belgrade and see how their "ultras" stand up to the test0

Either is not an acceptable answer to me so Neither.
Palace to get tonked, Glasner to leave. Southall to come in as owner and the stripeys to go out of business forever.
Millwall to stay in the Championship so we can have a derby fixture and finally beat them.0
