The GOG and The GOT - sleeping giants awaken

[Reg]

Great times ahead for these two great clubs.

I feel it in my bones.

[kancutlawns]

Burton Albion and Rushden Diamonds?

[Sid Pervcat]

Gang Of Gays?
Good Old Twats?

No.

In January 1922, the GOT lost 0-6 at home to the GOG in the FA Cup.

The next time they played each other was…

...in January 1931, when the GOG lost 0-6 at home to the GOT in the FA Cup.

[Zambo]

GOG = Crystal Palace, GOT = Everton

Me too, Reg.....

Highly unusual for players to move from one to t'other. Whittle and Johnson, that's about it.

Apparently Bolasie is on the brink of heading GOTwards, though.

A very strange move, I must say.

Wouldn't have thought he was their sort of man at all, but Koeman seems keen to make it happen.

And rumour has it the GOG are taking our £13 million misfit, Omar Niasse, on loan

Really? I hadn't heard about that.

So what do you think about both moves, Pet?

Hey! Behave.

I cannot believe we are forking out £25/30 million for Bolassie.......then again we picked City's pocket for double that dough for Stones.

So talking about the price of a player is no longer worthwhile.....it is just barking

Regarding Bolassie......he always does well against us but he always seems pretty anonymous to me any time I watch Palace play anyone else.

As for Niasse.....heck knows what Martinez was thinking about forking out £13 million for a bloke whom has looked worse than useless

Palace would do well to swerve that boy and no mistake.

[Reg]

All very odd. Especially as we paid £13m for Andros Townsend and sold Dwight Gayle for the same price

The player I was expecting Everton to go for is Scott Dann, but fingers crossed nothing seems be to be happening.

We are crying out for that old fashioned, no nonsense type of centre half.

But it is going to be Ashley Williams and some bloke from Sunderland, not Scott Dann

[Reg]

We have been trying to sign Williams for ages, but couldn't persuade him.

As for Bolasie - he is very hard-working, tracks back diligently. Attacking he can be devastating, but also wasteful. Very tricky but not always with an end product. However his threat is often enough to stress defenders, and teams often double-up, which affects their ability to counter-attack. He is also a very nice bloke and will probably fit in OK.

[Reg]

A stiff challenge for the GOG on Friday, attempting to repel the Autumn Offensive.

[Petingo]

Indeed.

I am glad Bolasie is on our side for a change.....he always had a blinder against the GOT

[Reg]

Clattenburg reffing.

Award the points to Everton now and spare us the formalities of playing the game.

Don't worry, we've been on the end of Clattenburg's "subjective" decisions plenty of times too.

I know he's shit in a lot of other games, but his record of absolutely outrageous match-costing decisions against Palace is so legendary that even the papers have picked up on it.

Some - Ghost, for example - might say it's his saving grace.

In fact, if Ghost reads this thread he probably WILL say it...

[The Ghost of Alex Higgins]

What he said

[Reg]

Told you so.

[kancutlawns]

On tonight.

[Reg]

On tonight.

Thanks for the heads-up.
