That and the world cup.
What's your nearest (big) team in Germany mate and do you ever go to games there?

Fuck the media. We won two pots last season. That's two more than Chelsea, rags and dippers put together.
Amen to that. I kept the highlights of the Palace v Dippers game and watched it again the other day. I'm definitely still laughing at that. It does annoy me though that we get no recognition for a double. Yet Sky et al constantly refer to the dippers' great season? They seem to have forgotten Bill Shankley's oft quoted saying "first is first and second is nowhere."

I'm not sure if Chelsea did get the same treatment. Yes, there was a lot of jealous fans out there but the media had Maureen to fawn over. At the time there was still a space in the top 4 to be cemented with The Arse, Dippers and Rags ruling the roost, with the odd challenge by Spurs or Everton. Now, we've made it so one of those may not/cannot make it, ie. Dippers the last few years, Chelsea a couple of years back and the Rags last year. Even Spurs had it snatched away from them when Chelsea won the CL.
I think we're a wholely different story from the rest as we have all the hallmarks to go on and be sustainable and the further we go with the project, the more they realise that this is the case.

I'll grant you Mourinho but the takeover began with the Tinkerman.

However, we are never under the radar when something goes wrong. Top of the agenda then e.g. Tevez, Yaya etc. our success is ignored but the media can't wait to throw the negativity around when they get the slightest chance .
