Crystal Palace (H) | Pre-Match Thread

Yeah but who's getting the five and who's getting the nil! Not many season's ago my pre-match mantra was "Please, God, don't let 'em score more than five on us!"

Not many seasons ago? How many is not many as it surely has to have been at least 12. That’s probably long enough for us to accept we’re no longer shit

Keep the momentum going, 3 points and no injuries will be a good weekend

I'm expecting a big performance after the players have had a bit of a rest week. Just have to watch Palace breaking on us.

That's all I'm after. I'm not looking for five or six goals; a steady, no-scares 2-0 win will do nicely. And, as you said, no injuries.

Always think that bizarrely we are sluggish after a wee break

Anyone know if it's being shown in the U.S.? Can't find the game on NBCSN's schedule or ESPN+. Might be stuck with Radio Manchester commentary.

The early derbies at The Etihad! When MANUre had the likes of FakeRon, HorseHead and FatScouseGit, and we started nicking a win - the 4-1 with SWPs corker at the end, the 3-1 with Fowler's strike, and the 1-0 with Georginho's wee curler. We got mullered by a Tottenham team that had the CF whose name began with a K, can't remember the rest of it! Sixteen years at The Etihad so any of the first four or five seasons would have been possibilities!!

Same. Though a number two has me much more nimble on my feet.
