Genuinely gutted about it. Those pricks have seen something we’ll almost certainly never see in our lives. No matter what happens now, they’ve got their trophy. I’d rather win an FA Cup and get relegated than be mid table every season, so they’re sorted either way.

Yeh, the unfortunate reality. I feel a bit sick.
If it was going to be a premier league London club winning it, why can't it have just been a Fulham, West ham, Brentford etc.
A painful reality we won't be able to distance ourselves from.
Palace are now a bigger club and will continue growing/expanding.
I'm not bothered, they got to the final, they won the thing. That's what all clubs, footballers, managers and fans aspire to do, win something, hopefully something big, like the FA Cup. I never got any grief yesterday, walked into one of my locals, wearing my colours, a fair few Palace, no probs, before or during. One 60plus Man City supporter, who was an entitled twat. Should've been at least a yellow card and free kick for the Henderson handball, immediately acknowledged by the Palace lot, it's not their fault that the match officials and VAR were, and often are wank.
That win, with the management / team they have right now is very bad. It would have been broken up this summer but now is likely to stay together as they have European football. Glasner is an excellent manager who I would back to build them over the summer. I have long said there is space in SE London for a large club, it is an obvious hole. Whilst Duchatelet was fucking ours, they were building. Those Charlton fans who don't care, think about our academy staff as they try to persuade the next Gomez etc to join us... Each time the stripey pricks stay in the PL or show this kind of success, our lots job gets even harder. Bollocks.
Whatever the thoughts on Palace,I will treasure those scenes at the end of sky blue shirts wet with tears,have waited so long for this arrogant band of self entitled pricks to finish a season with nothing,long may it continue,they are now dads army,they have no great players any more.Giving Haarland a 10 year contract at 25m a year while under investigation just stinks of "you cant touch us",well we will see.
Couldn't sleep last night after their win. The only way out this darkness is
Back to back promotions followed by winning the Premier league or
Back to back promotions, qualify for champions league and win that the next season.
Scrap that there's no way out. Wherever I choose to go today it will be in my face. Could possibly cope with that , but also need to get through the next months with them bring in Europe. Just been sent the projected group pots for Europa league , I feel sick. I do feel our club could've set up a few dedicated helplines for those of us struggling at this time. Need promotions big time next Sunday.
Seems to be a lot of comparisons between how well they're doing and how badly we've done for a long time now which I do get but the two things aren't the same it's simply co-incidence these things have run parallel to each other.
Had we stayed for longer in the Prem when we got relegated or bounced about like Burnley or even stayed the duration in the Prem since 2007 there's no guarantees we would ever have won a trophy and/or qualified for Europe even with the club being run well.
Them winning the cup is just one of those things it's football, but doesn't mean it happened because we've had a bad time of it for a long time. I would much rather focus on our club getting itself back to where it should be and seeing how far we can go rather than worry about them. The one thing to take away from yesterday is there cup win will always be remembered about the VAR incident. At least our FA Cup win albeit in black and white isn't tarnished with controversy.
The best footballing period in their history running parallel with our worst makes it all sooooo much worse and add in the scum (only club in south east London without an FA Cup ) in their best footballing period ever and you have the biggest shit show on earth . weve all got a hard on for a game with fucking orient , they’ve just gone and beaten Man City won the FA Cup , have Liverpool next week and are going on a European tour with a load more attractive fixtures what A load of Cnut
Still feel sick about it. Them getting into Europe is the worst thing that could happen. The only thing we had over them was a major trophy and now we can't even gloat about that. Now they'll be plastered all over our screens Thursday nights while European giants roll into their shit heap of a ground.
Our downfall left the gate open for those freaks to scoop up generations of kids from local areas who could have come to The Valley to watch us as the South London club in the top flight. Ian Dowie and Richard Murray have blood on their hands.
The great thing about Charlton fans are they are so level headed as demonstrated on CL ?
They have 7 chips on one shoulder about Palace and 7 chips on the other shoulder about Millwall.
A week before a 50/50 match in getting Charlton Athletic back to their home land of the Championship and the 2nd tier, they are focused on Palace who left Charlton behind long ago. The League cup game when we lost 4-1 with our 1st team against their reserves was when we waved goodbye in their tatty old stadium. The last close game was the 2-1 lost when Glenn Murray scored twice after Ben Hamer's slip. I took that loss badly as 1-0 up at HT and JJ should have buried his header to go 2 up 🤦🏻♂️
Palace have a hybrid fan base with more ethnic groups than I see at Charlton. I'm not talking about ground hoppers or Football tourists. Many of their supporters live in Surrey but Thornton heath is very diverse as well as West Croydon where English isn't spoken very often.
Because of my Bermondsey roots I suffered more if we lost to Millwall because in many of those games we were higher in the table FFS.
Tribal rivalry is an ancient feral state and Charlton should probably focus on Millwall our nearest rival, IF and when we reached the promised land of the 2nd tier as opposed to a Premier team, with an FA cup win and European football next season.
Jealousy eats you up as I know with my hatred of Chelsea ! 😤

Perhaps this is the time to draw a line under the Palace rivalry.
I will never consider Croydon or Bromley as proper SE London. They’ve gone their derby with Brighton now. They’re miles away both literally and metaphorically.
Charlton v Millwall is the one. Both fanbases live with or amongst each other.
Perhaps I am traumatised, but I just want to tell myself that Palace winning the cup is as significant for me as Fulham or Wimbledon winning it.
That result really took the edge off my weekend. Very happy when I booked playoff final tickets, but brought back down to earth a couple of hours later.

Sam, it’s not just about tribalism. I have friends who decided to become palace fans two or three years ago. They’ve always been very patronising about Charlton, and pretend to not even know which league we’re in.
The one thing I’ve had to counter their jibes was the fact that we’d actually won a major trophy and they hadn’t. Of course It should be water off a duck’s back, I know, but it does rile me up. They have no understanding of the history of the game. To them it’s all about the Premier League. I guarantee if palace were relegated they’d soon lose interest, and probably so would many others. Of course the same happened to us to an extent, but the fact that we can draw big crowds just because we’re in an around the playoffs gives you hope.

Your friends sound like c*#ts on a number of levels, tbf.
I'm not going to let my weekend be spoilt because a football team, that has nothing to do with me, has won the FA Cup. Charlton have reached the play off final, rejoice in that and don't let the fact that another club has won a cup dampen your spirit.
The idea that because you support a certain football team you must hate another seems weird to me. I have no reason to hate Palace or Millwall, when both play in a different league.
The magic of the FA Cup is that every so often, a story is created when an underdog beats one of the giants.

I know I shouldn’t, but honestly this is how I feel too.
I had to put up with those c8nts on the tube. I did give a stare when they were singing Championes. Citeh were a disgrace with their fannying around on the wings when there had players in the box. Stayed in the ground after the match for a drink with the Citeh fans who were a bit bemused when I belted out Valley Floyd Road! Anyway, the purpose of going to the FA cup final was to do a recce on where to sit next Sunday.
.This has proper floored me. My son is trying to be philosophical about it, "oh well, shit happens, let's just focus on next week. Win that and get behind the rebuild with Nathan" I get it and hopefully he will be around to see the football cycle swing back in our favour. How long will it take to get where they are. 20 years? I'll be dead (90%), senile (9%), unable physically to go to games (1%) They are the current FA Cup winners, a trophy we won in the middle ages playing in pantaloons and ruffs.

Allison, Venables, gobby flashboy arrogance, Noades, "team of the 80s", Barcelona's kit, Benfica's nickname, "gave you a home when you were bankrupt". What a crock of shit

Well good for you. That's a very mature and adult attitude to adopt.
But if you don't mind, the rest of us who've grown up watching them gain a foothold and gradually infect the areas we live in are suffering pain and misery here. So, with the greatest of respect, please allow us to express our grief and despair in abject misery. Thank you.

"Ex Palace player" Paul Mortimer coming up on Radio London.
As i said previously, palace doing well is of miniscule importance compared to millwall doing well as palace is not something that happens in my world - they are over there and only became of real relevance when we had to ground share. The silver lining to us losing our status as the only major trophy winners south of the river is that millwall now become the only team not to have won a major trophy and puts them firmly into the loser bin. It's better how it was but its something and something i'm happy to remind millwall about
