They certainly were the days

We should have beaten a Liverpool side in decline, and then we'd have had two Second Division sides in the way to lifting it.

Did we ever win in it?

I think I went to that game,possibly the worse game I've ever been to,to be fair,most games at Palace seemed like that.

Well I never realised that; my younger son was born at 4.08 p.m. whilst the Palace game was being played (21/03/92).
