LONDON (Reuters) - One of English football's most bitter rivalries gets its first Premier League experience on Tuesday as supporters of Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace continue to argue about the source of the tension. Brighton and Palace have not played in the top flight since 1981 and last met four years ago en route to the Eagles' promotion from the Championship. "All the players know the importance of it by now," Palace forward Wilfried Zaha told the club's match day programme. After one biter confrontation, a fired-up Brighton manager Mullery threw money down on the floor and shouted: "That is all you're worth, Crystal Palace!". "I know the rivalry's very strong and dates back a long time," Palace manager Roy Hodgson told reporters on Tuesday.
