Crystal Palace (a) pre-match thread

[tolmie's hairdoo]

If you can keep your head, while all around are losing theirs, you'll be a Man CITY, son!

Fast start, don't let Palace get set on rinse and repeat, side-to-side bollocks.

Fast and through the middle with Kev.

Expect both us and Scousers to win today.

Had some difficulty getting my lunch down.
I dislike getting tense like this. But it's the price you pay. And if it goes well, the relief is unbelievable.

Who needs Pep eh ?

Your not the first person to say that.

Oh trust me I am expecting a bloody awful afternoon.

Shit cold, windy unseasonable weather too. We have to play with high intensity no bloody game management or conserving energy unless hopefully we are 3-0 up.

There's no way we're losing it from that scenario.

Even a win for us and a draw for them will be a killer.

Effectively means we can afford to lose a game.

This is the only game the scousers might drop points in my opinion so we have to win to keep as much pressure on as possible.

Possibly Cardiff away might be troublesome to score if depending on one last hurrah from Warnock.

I'm that nervous I've done some housework. Time going slow.

Anything to kill time today. I've been playing the old Age of Empires II in the morning. Went for shopping for my wife post lunch and just came back. Waiting for the team sheet and the first moan if Sane isn't starting.

I think Newcastle away could be tough for them

I think Newcastle away could be tough for them

Yeah right up till the moment they kick off.

Rafa will be well lubbed for this one, he will want to keep his hero of the Scouse nation status.

Three scenarios by tonight. Given the games that are left for us and them:

We lose, they win. I honestly think it will be very, very hard to come back from that.

We win, they lose. We have a decisive advantage, but it's still not a done deal.

Both teams win. Nothing is settled. But I for one will be starting to get edgy.

You've never heard of draws?
