Still seriously pissed from the oval todday, so I will keep it brief. Having just watched the video on Palace player and hearing Davids talking about Wright and Bright and that the move came about from him being messaged on Twitter when we were in admin - and also George Burley's comments on the club, I could not be happier right now.
Davids is a true modern day footballing icon and if he is even 50% of the player he was, he will still be the best player in this division.
I am sure a fair few people will be at the game on Saturday who wouldn't have been - and that is fine. Some people need a prompt.
I'm feeling very drunk indeed.

56 pages on this - bloody brilliant!
All I can say is that I am still smiling.
I don't actually care if he is any good or not any more - the whole Palace experience is making me smile.
Nearly losing our beloved Club and now Davids and loads of other players signing is just such good fun.
Yes - I want us to win but I just want to enjoy this season - as long as we stay up that is all that matters and I am sure that with Davids playing his part that we will all smile from now until next May.
Thanks CPFC 2010 - this is just the icing on the cake!!!

Thanks CPFC 2010 for reminding me how it feels to sign new players!
I'd almost forgotten.

It was even reported on the BBC TVs national news this morning in the sports segment.
When did we last get a mention on there?
Well I'm off to work but we will be thinking about all you guys at Selhurst.

Out of all the posts on here I think this one sums everything up.
I gave up drinking 18 months ago , i was drunk when i made most of my money, I was stone cold sober when I invested in Palace! What does that tell you about drink?

ssn(Sky Sports News)say Edger is not match fit  and will not play to day.  Any one know why? 
Training with Ajax is no preparation for Ipswich in the Championship
I reckon he will debut against Pompey on Tuesday night.

Absolute joke,this guy is over the hill,was unwanted by everyone and we take him on,on god knows how much money?reminds me of juniuno (or whatever his name was at middlesbro) couple years back,as youngster was good but when he returned was a liability,this Davids will be the same,would rather have us looking at younger players with potential than this 37 yr old veteran,he will be easy to by pass and keeping much better players out..GUTTED !!!
You really don't know what you're on about, do you? He's on very little money, on a pay as you play deal. He will doubtless make us money even if he doesn't play - you can see by the excitement that this will lead to bigger attendances and shirt sales.
I think he will play though - he's about the same age as Giggs - its nowhere near unthinkable that he'll hold his own at this level. He won't have the pace he used to have, but his experience will mean he can sit in the middle, win the ball and play it simple - exactly what we need.
As for keeping younger players out - who better for them to learn from and play alongside? Danns has already said he can't wait to train with him and watch everything he does to learn from him.
Think again - this is a no-lose situation.

I think that this thread has already has had 70,000 hits proves that even if he never kicks a football the mediatic interest he has generated can only do us good.

That qoute :-"I will personally eat my fingers if Davids plays a solitary minute of Championship football with Crystal Palace"
And has a sharp knife ready,gives me the impression that he doesn't reckon this is gonna happen.
I would love to contact this guy now for his thoughts!

Anybody who says anything negative about us signing one of the best players from the previous 15 years clearly knows nowt about football.
Who cares that he is 37. He showed last night that his touch and football brain are still better than most. He will inspire our players to play better football. Just read how Dannsy was wetting himself when he heard the news. There's no way he did that when we signed Shaun Derry!
I still have butterflies in my stomach when i read about Edgar Davids the Palace player. Seeing him in a Palace shirt last night was like playing Championship Manager in a pair of very wet underpants. Ooooooo Edgar you saucy little minx!

My Twitter competition prize from Edgar! 
It was my dream to play for Palace and to make my debut. I've always played for the club so if I'm playing here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

What do you mean it didn't work out for him here!?
Oh you mean about him being crap, misplacing passes to opposition strikers and generally costing us a goal a game. But at least we will always be able to say Edgar Davids played for the Eagles!

I remember last year when the talk about Davids was happening. I still cant believe we managed to sign such a footballing legend even though it didn't work out! How about another exciting signing this season CPFC2010? Or is ex Brighton striker Glenn Murray as exciting as it will get?

Murray gave me more joy than Davids for obvious reasons
