Having dual allegiance, I didn't like it when Palace changed from the Glaziers and changed the colours. Have to say I am very comfortable with Eagles now and have got used to red & blue instead of claret & sky blue. Plus this season a damn great eagle flies up and down the pitch before KO (it almost had Nathaniel Clyne before one game). More impressive, say, than watching a man install a window. Oh, so they nicked Benfica's pre-match ritual as well as Barca's colours then? Seriously, leave the nickname alone. Otherwise we're heading into the same sort of murky ground the 'super fighting red & white attack budgies' did down the road.

And who's to say what's better in terms of club nicknames?
Bacon was right, but he wasn't talking about things like this. Do we no longer take pride in old traditions?

He should know... That unsmoked, rindless stuff is rubbish.

Leave it alone. I always think nicknames just come naturally. Malcolm Allison changing everything there worked. But then who is a 'Big Mal' for us. To force a change like that you need either a much larger than life character (Not in THAT way Jared ) or an arrogant arsehole. I don't think we have either!

Did Francis still talk that after he was cured?

Hmm, "The Awful"... "Come on you Awful's". Four years ago I would have gone for that.

Well, the original meaning of the word "awful" was more like "awe-inspiring" - not bad at all really!

I've never heard Birmingham City be called 'Bummingham Titty'!
