Crystal Palace: The Ron Noades Connection

This evening, Crystal Palace supporters are learning the hard way that, in the overall scheme of things, the media doesn't really give a damn about them. On Radio 5, the sports reports covered them for approximately five seconds before moving on to the infinitely more important subject of Rio "Now Over Thirty Years Old" Ferdinand's return to the Premier League and his subsequent misconduct charge, while The Guardian evidently consider the rumoured transfer of Eidur Gudjohnsen to West Ham United as more important than the hopeless insolvency of a side in The Football League Championship and The Sun, a newspaper whose ability to avoid the interesting and relevant in favour of the SHOUTY and DRAMATIC should never be underestimated, choose some fluff about Nicolas Anelka, Robinho's frankly unsurprising return to Brazil, some self-serving, hyperbolic bullshit from Jose Mourinho and a little bit of PR from Alex Ferguson about how well behaved his team is.
