Crystal Palace (H) - Sat 27th Aug 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

At the services on way up chatting to Palace fans - they’re telling me he’s out and think it may be due to impending transfer to Arsenal or Chavs

Your lucky , the services we stopped at was full of bloody dipper fans !

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Palace worry me.

1-1 or 1 nil City I'd go, Palace have a good defence especially Anderson he looks a quality defender, even without Zaha they are dangerous on the counter and so far our defence hasn't been at it. They kept the dippers out at Anfield until a wonder goal.

No Grealish is a massive miss in this game if he doesn't play as his ability to win fouls breaks opposition teams momentum does help us control games

They are going to defend deep so first goal is crucial

To be fair the scum nearly kept the dippers out, their attack doesn't look as dangerous without mane

bringing my son for his first game today. He’s 7 (same age as I was for my first at Maine Road)
Going to the kids fanzone at the academy stadium. Has anyone been before? It says 11:30 but we won’t get there until 12:30ish will they still let us in etc?

Thanks

If we loose he is never allowed to go again, only joking mate, hope your lad has a great day, I remember taking my lad for the first time, its a great feeling

Good interview with Pep today on Football Focus. Interesting insights into his thoughts about what he will do after football.
Just love that man!!
Even Dion Dublin was quite complimentary about us which left me rewinding to make sure he wasn’t being sarcastic or anything. :-)

Today I want to be able to start calling Alfie’s lad by his own name! To do that I am waiting for him to score a hat trick!! I am not asking a lot am I? I’m a very demanding fan I know but for me to shout Erling instead of Alfie’s lad *lol* he has to deliver!



John Boy, John Boy keep that Palace lot under control. I’m relying on you sunshine.

Going back to FF, this is the first female pundit I’ve really taken to. Some of the others are ok in a boring way, some are downright zzzz sending me to sleep but this one is good, interesting and knowledgeable. (Plus she just got away with swearing on TV at lunchtime!! *rofl*) Didn’t catch her name and am not rewinding just to find out. But I hope we have her on more often.

4-1 City today
Hopefully Dias and Stones stay fit

 

[Luck95]

If zaha is out that will be a massive bonus. I haven't got any of my predictions right so far but won't stop me from trying ! 2-1 city Foden/Haaland

Ederson

Mahrez Haaland Silva

Feel like this is strongest atm (regarding unavailability of Laporte, Grealish, Ake, Phillips for different reasons)
