Many diehard Crystal Palace fans have been complaining of late. This is not unusual. It's not only because most of them are English who would win Olympic gold if they added "moaning" as a sport. It's also because we may be getting too big for our boots. We have always been this team of rough and ready underdogs. We exist only because we get down and dirty and pull out results when it's time to fight for survival. And guess what, most of us like it like that. Most of us don't want to be these money-hungry, commercialized corporations like Manchester United and Chelsea. We want to be gritty and proud of our roots. We want to battle against the odds.
So, to the dismay of many, our recent player acquisitions may have altered our status. During this summer's break we spent an astronomical 57 million pounds for just four guys. To put that into perspective, just five years ago we bought our most expensive player ever for 400,000 pounds. Shit's changed big time. Now fans are moaning, again, they are English. They believe we are now just another characterless big club. But do you know what I think? I think fuck that. I think we should just enjoy not being really shit. Why do we always have to be pissed off. It's party time people. Let's be happy. Last weekend we won our first game of the season and we are sitting comfortably mid table. Life is good. Let's go guns blazing baby. I am. Look here.
