Crystal Palace (N) - Sat 17th May, 16:30 | FA Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

I noticed that too...wtfis going on with the lad atm?

Somethings not right. Looked like he had the world on his shoulders.

Don't think the final is a priority for Pep.Thought in his pre-embargo press conference he came across as half-arsed.

Team has hardly trained this week so we usually are off it when we are not in the groove from playing every 3/4 days.

Sadly I'm expecting another poor team selection and a flat performance like last year's final.

Third time lucky for Palace unfortunately.

Please prove me wrong Pep and make it a day to remember for all those loyal fans making the trip down to Wembley!!

 

[Blue Elvis]

Phil looked lost walking across there. Body language wasn't great.

Wasn't great from any of them to be honest.

 

[King Jay]

Can see our Bernardo - KDB - Foden offense again just to lose 0-2.

Yep, our swagger seems to have vanished. Looked more like a court visit than a Wembley final. Only Pep cracked a smile.

Just taken a full bottle of pills, can't face tomorrow after reading that.
£200 quid of tickets, £158 quid hotel, restaurant booked £100, petrol and lunch , beers and wine.
I am as depressed as you now.

I honestly can't explain why I did it? Just searched CPFC on twatter, it is absolutely nauseating. They are fucking mental. This being one of the worst ffs. Every Blue needs to be at it tomorrow, make it hostile as fuck. Before, during and after. View attachment 156462

Pep’s team talk, post that on the dressing room wall.

Looked to be limping and grimacing.

Fucking hell, some off the chart bed wetting on here!

Palace have never won a major trophy, of course they're getting the hype. Rightly so. If you don't support City you want the underdog to win - it's how the FA Cup works!

They're a good side and we will need to be at our best to beat them. But we can beat them. Pep and the players will be bang up for it.

A chance to win another major trophy. A day we dreamt about once upon a time, now an annual event. Soak it up, enjoy it! If we lose it will hurt but let's support the lads and go and win it rather than throw the towel in before it's started.

I hope you are wrong. Don’t turn up tomorrow and no matter what the ‘happy clappers’ say it will get very interesting.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Can see our Bernardo - KDB - Foden offense again just to lose 0-2.

That's the spirit!

 

[Mike N]

Our success over the past 13 years has made a sizeable amount of our fans utterly pathetic.

Wouldn’t read too much into it. Often see them Getting on the coach after games (my son always wants to on the off chance one can be bothered to stop) and they always look miserable and ignore the fans.

 

[Columbia]

Hoping to be competitive and bothered about scoring a goal. Don’t care if we lose but it’s been so boring to watch of late, would like some excitement!

Nah. Just had a bag full of his favourite bon-bons so was struggling to walk due to the weight of em.

That’s the second video I have seen of him (first one getting off the train) and I agree he looks like he is limping and in some pain, walking looks uncomfortable for him in this video.

 

[Axel Freed]

On the top tier can you walk round all our blocks on the concourse or is it blocked off at some point ?
