Croydon (and Selhurst in particular) doesn't feel like they're in London either though. It's like a dormitory town.

Anything outside The City isn't London. Southwark is a different city; so is Westminster. There are, therefore, no London football clubs. The closest is probably Arsenal, and they're way north of the northern gates to the City.

Christ I'm boring myself as I type this, but the you're really defining the city as it was 80 years ago? Really? Nothing south of the river is 'traditional' London, if you want to go back far enough. The place has expanded, like every other city in the world, since the end of the war, so what?

You're quite right, I'm bored with arguing it. Whether or not you reckon Croydon is Proper London, the point is that Mr Diddy will find it's a right pain in the arse to get to from Mayfair.

How did "Glad All Over" become a Palace song anyway, given that Dave Clark was a Spurs fan? He must have been livid.

Captain Sensible sings nostalgically of Croydon - is he a Palace fan? If so, Happy Talk or a remix of Wot would be perfect.

Don't know the answer to that one, but Jo Brand is a regular and was even the match sponsor for the FA Cup game against Wolves.

Mark Steel is a Palace fan isn't he?

I've got to agree with SR. Selhurst falls into the Croydon gravity well and Croydon is it's own place.

Too bad it wasn't Meth buying the team, as Crystal Palace USA plays in B-More, and it would've been a wonderful Wire tie-in.

I am certainly speechless. I mean this is past Onion-level.
