Crystal Palace (h) pre-match thread

[The Riot Club]

No mercy now, send the message.

8-0.

If only. Pretty sure we'll win but probably only by one or two. Would love us to smash someone one day though, we have the players to do it.

Roy Hodgson has revealed that Martin Kelly and Wayne Hennessey will be missing from the Crystal Palace squad to face City tomorrow. Cheikhou Kouyaté will have a late fitness test while Christian Benteke is still in recovery.

Hello. Palace fan here. I hope that doesn't wind anyone up too much, though no doubt it will.

I've always had a soft spot for your lot since before we played Man U in the 1990 cup final and your fans at Selhurst were wishing us luck.

You're more likely to beat us by 7 than we are to beat you by one is all I'd say...so I guess +3 or +4 is par.

I came on here to see what the thoughts are on Aguero v Jesus and the chat is interesting. (Sad sack that I am, I was wondering for me dream team.)

For me, Jesus could be Pep's preferred long term option cos he does more defensively (from what I see). I think that's so important to Guardiola. And as forwards they're probably ultimately on a par.

To give you a clue how I see Saturday going, I replaced Aubameyang with Jesus and made Jesus my captain.

Anyway, good luck for the rest of the season. Better you than the dippers.

I lived in SE26 from 87-89 and used to go to Palace now and again when I wasn’t travelling to watch City.

Remember that game prior to your cup final.

Last time I went to Palace was a few seasons ago when we scored in injury time to win 1-0.

Not surprising. He plays like he's pissed, all the time.

Bollocks.

Northern Rail on strike again....brilliant

 

[rnblade]

2-0 and no injuries will do.

We need to beat Palace convincingly to dishearten the Dippers , the next few games their kick-offs are before our game , but we have proved we can handle the pressure of a title run-in , everytime they get four points clear we will claw it back until January 3rd , they will have to come to the Etihad and beat us to dethrone us, just like we did to Chelsea last year ,when KDB scored the winner. Let see if the Dippers have the Cahoonas to take our title.

Good luck to you too - you have a real eagle flying around, cheerleaders, and Rebecca Lowe. Respect!

It’s turning into a bit of ring fight so any win will do at this point.

Nice to have a Saturday 3 O Clocker.

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Cause of the dippers persistence we can't afford any slip ups, this is now a must win game

 

[mosssideblue]

Is that a double you have missed?

Hope you are well for Liverpool.

It is sadly

Funny story about that...I take my lad, who's now 8. So I guess he was about 5 back then. Obviously the City fans we jubilant and our lot were silent. City were coming forward again and my boy just screamed "kick 'im in the face" as loud as he could. Got a few looks. Bit embarrassing but kind of proud at the same time.

Clean sheet please

 

[richards30]

Clean sheet please

We don’t do them anymore mate! ;-)

 

[jimharri]

No messing about today fellas; a professional performance. A clean sheet would be nice as well. 2-0 will do me just fine.

 

[01cravend]

7 clean sheets in first 10 games so i put Laporte in the dream team as he's the guaranteed starter. 1 in 7 since.

 

[MaineRoadBlue1963]

Flying to New York today so hopefully when I land we will have won 4.0

Why should you be proud of that? Another mindless thug in the making.
