They All Seem Friendly Now....
...but all indications are that fierce rivals Brighton and Palace will be engaged in a real grudge match this afternoon in the Championship playoff. Apparently, the history of the conflict goes back to the Quadrophenia-style Teddie Boy v. Mods riots in Brighton during a fixture in the late 60s. The police have been fore-warned. Cor!

Subs - Ankergren, El-Abd, Crofts, Barnes, Vicente, Painter, LuaLua
The obligatory reference to some Scots git who retired this week. Dunno who he is - who cares?
Lots of dignitaries in the ground - Zola, who hoping to meet one of these teams in the final, alongside Harry Redknapp and LUFC legend Joe Jordan.
Selhurst Park is buzzing as the home side get us underway in this crucial promotion clash.
An early free kick chance for the away side. Poyet looking pensive on the bench.
What a chance for Calderon - but he's ruled offside anyway.
Afternoon Robert
Did you see the anonymous comments in the PPP thread?
Plonkers
For those who didn't catch it, Leicester took a slim 1-0 lead into the second leg against Watford yesterday. That one's still in the balance.
Shtuum with the anti-alex talk!!!
Hi UWS! I did see that, but for some reason I didn't have the usual trash can icon to delete them. I'm going to keep trying. I don't like to encourage spam on the site.
EAGLES EAT SEAGULLS
SEAGULLS EATS EAGLES
Alex? Who's that?
Apparently the whole rivalry stems from a late 60s Mod v. Rockers riot of Palace fans on Brighton beach after a match. These fans have long memories!
News out of OT today is that Moyesy will be bringing Baines, Hair Bear and Jags with him. And Roon is off to PSG.
What do you think of that?
I remember they were big rivals in the mid 70s and 80s. It must have grown from those Mod and Rocker days
I'd like Baines
Not sure about the other two. Is Felani United type?
Is Jags too old?
I'd send Roon off to Paris. He has asked to leave United twice in a few years!! THEN LEAVE.
Just send him abroad.. not to Chelsea
Most of these players seem to be foreign. I can't imagine that they give a toss about Mods v. Rockers.
How about Roon back to Everton?
These two clubs have really been going in the opposite direction at the end of the season
Oh - Williams had Kusz stretching there to get to that shot. Not that wide of the mark.
I'd love to punish him and do that!
Seriously, he has really been poor and he still complains about United's ambition
True - Palace almost blew their chance. Brighton have had far better form of recent days.
Still can't believe you haven't put in a decent effort commenting about the SAF retirement
His career deserves it
Only the two United fans have put forth their two cents... you've put in ha'penny... more than your bruv!!
Fergie and Moyesy were numbers 1 and 3 in longevity. Wenger was 2... will he move up to one or move on!
Who will be behind Arsene? Pulis?
Good afternoon BD and UWS.
I was right
Fergie 27
Wenger 17
Moyes 11
Pulis 7
Martinez 4
Mancini 4
Pardew 3
Allardyce 2
Jol 2
Rest is one or less
THAT IS DISGUSTING!!
Afternoon MUR
Brighton should of scored a while back.
They are well on top
It is still 0-0. A classic in London SE?
Wonder if Moyes will like Zaha
A great block by Brighton defender
I agree, UWS. Pulis needs to go
I t was a great block and now Ulloa is down after a hand to the back of thew head by Zedinak
What do you think Moyes should do when he arrives on July 1st. First, he should start earlier.. bloody contracts!
I dont' think he should come in and say I am doing it MY WAY. His way hasn't won anything. He should come in and say I am not going to come in and change things... why fix something when it ain't broke!
I have a feeling Zaha will not be a regular. I heard that Moyes is bringing Baines, Jags, and Hair Bear to OT?
I agree, UWs, but he might want to tweak a few things.I was asking Bob if Klopp would have been a better choice. He said stick with Moyes.
Watching Football Focus about Fergie and Cup Final
Looks kind of scrappy like the other playoff at The Crisps was.
What did Fergie say
I just noticed that Kruscz is in goal for Brighton;/
Between the green and black stripes and the red and blue stripes , it's a nightmare for a myoptic person.
Afternoon, MUR - sorry, I was distracted by a needy student.
Great football by the Seagulls . Great one touch passing and an effort went just wide,
No problems, BD. I was commenting that these stripes are a nightmare for anyone trying to watch the match
The Seagulls are starting to get on top of this match as I had expected.
Matty Upson must be on loan at Brighton.
The second legs are on Sunday and Monday. The Championship Final is on Memorial Day
Great show so far
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22484024
It is a stripy mess on the pitch today.
Have they interviewed Fergie's missus about his addiction to the Pick 'n' Mix yet?
The stats verified what I stated. Brighton have out shot Palace 5 to 1 but only 1-0 for shots on target
That Dahlgren bloke is really starting to get on my nerves... I'll DO EM
BD being naughty. UWS will not be pleased.
i'll headbutt him right in the noggin
Jedinak is booked for a push in the back . His second in the past ten minutes..
First booking today goes to the Palace skipper Jedinak.
See you, Jimmy!
Sounds like a War of the Roses!
On 5Live they asked the panel what position United will finish next season. The first bloke said fourth... all the others said first!
After this match, they are supposed to pick the starting XI for United's first match next season
I would like to see Brighton and UW in the playoff Final on Memorial Day
I would definitely have Baines , Jags , and Hair Bear in the starting XI.
Calderon is booked for a foul from behind. The first booking for the Seagulls.
Pat Nevin thinks WBA's Steve Clarke should take over at Goodison
I'd take that final, MUR.
How about a return to OT for Timmy?
Neil Warnock is free?
Thanks, Bob. I should be around for that because I have Memorial day off.
Free is not good in this case!
How about a return to OT for Diego Forlan?
This is resembling the match I watched on BEIN yesterday from The Crisps.
Not a chance. NEVER!
Not really much of an advert for the Championship. Into stoppage time now.
Into stoppage time.one minute
Just like the match yesterday
Halftime and 0-0 from Selhurst Park
Your sister posted the new vid for JHJ's "Magnetized" on FB, UWS. Check it out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
Rick Astley... really!!
LOL!
Serves you right for not being on FB, mate.
BD is really mischievous today. I don't think I can keep up. BD is definitely in promotion winning form!
On the JHJ BookFace page. The album is up to #8 on the amazon uk chart for AC
Brilliant! Keep up the good work, JHJ!
I missed the start of the second half because I was putting the Geometry STAAR review workbooks in the storage cabinet.
I can't believe that the Brighton corner was the first of the match
No corners in the first half for either team.
Dr. Dahlgren will be sleeping on the front porch Memorial Day Weekend if he keeps it up
I still want a proper SAF comment from him
Just a suggestion that Rick would be a good opening act for JHJ on their triumphant US come-back tour. I'd certainly go see them.
An old fashioned drop in midfield and cleared to Palace after a tussle.
The front porch sounds rather cosy this time of year. I'll just curl up with the raccoons.
They worked together in the Far East.
They know each other
Could I suggest a ritual bonfire of the STAAR workbooks out in the school parking lot?
Hope the Memorial weekend weather is pleasant, Bob.will he get to watch the CL final in your house?
I'm sure that they did? Did Mike ever have a shag with a bit of famous skirt? One of the Bananarama girls, perhaps?
This match is dreadful. I reckon that they should throw these two sides out and stick Leeds into the playoff final.
The Bonfire may be reality sooner rather than later. The state trimmed the number of STAAR tests down from 15 to 5.One of the tests to go is Geometry . When that takes effect is unknown
Apparently I'll have to watch the final through the window from out on the porch!
He used to have a a lot of birds apparently
I was sitting in the studio when I was back in England in 90 and Calvin was reading The Sun. He turned to Page 3 and said that was one of Mike's girls!
That's got to be good news. Is the guvnor Rick Perry slashing the testing budget on you?
I agree, Bob. And on that note I have to bugger off as my last class is about to start. Great chatting. See you tomorrow morning.CHEERS
Wahay - well in, Mike!
See you early doors tomorrow, MUR!
YES YOU WILL UNLESS I GET A PROPER COMMENT.. HIS CAREER WITH ABERDEEN AND UNITED IS THE GREATEST EVER... BREAKING THE STRANGLEHOLD OF THE GLASGOW CLUBS AND THEN MOVED DOWN AND DID THE SAME TO MERSEYSIDE
Oh - surely either Murray or Williams should have been able to tap that Zaha cross in.
Now, now, no need to shout. I'll eat your Spam. I luv it. I'm having Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, baked bean, Spam and Spam...
Take care MUR
I will be round for a little. I have our friends from Charlotte coming in this evening. Tomorrow morning, I have to go to a funeral. In the afternoon, I may be forced to play golf,weather permitting, during the Cup Final
Now Brighton have a free kick chance. Dangerous one from Hammond but it's ruled offside.
Super Super Kev
Super Super Kev
Super Super Kev
Super Kevin Phillips
is warming up
Oh - Orlandi and Kusz just about denied that opener for Palace. Chances are finally starting to come in this match.
Palace go close. Saved off the line by keeper and defender?
Was that a handball?
Are either of these sides good enough to stay up in the Premiership?
Oh dear - it looks like Murray has twisted his knee badly. He's in real trouble.
That's horrible to look at - I wish they'd stop replaying that.
Off on a stretcher
Wilbraham to come on as Murray's replacement.
I'm off home, mate. I'll catch you tomorrow for the early one and the Cup Final. Cheerio!
Take care
May not be around tomorrow though
Another forced change for the Eagles
Into the final two minutes
still scoreless
these matches always have a more exciting second leg
There should be quite a few added minutes
6 added minutes
Useless corner by Palace...went out for a throw in
Back for the closing minutes and still 0-0. Advantage Brighton.
Did I really miss much?
Useless cross by Zaha. Looks a lot like Valencia, but clumsier.
The Brighton fans who made the short journey are celebrating. It's only halftime.
It finishes 0-0. Advantage Brighton as these teams meet on Monday
All over
0-0
Take care boys
Great chatting again. It will be great doing the same tomorrow. CHEERS
I loved as much as you will receive carried out right here.
The sketch is attractive, your authored material stylish.
nonetheless, you command get bought an shakiness over that you wish be
delivering the following. unwell unquestionably come further formerly again since exactly the
same nearly a lot often inside case you shield this hike.
