Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa pre match soul searching

You only beat these and their repugnant five at the back with width. No surprise last time we actually beat them, Bailey and Diaby were on the pitch. Need Sancho to have a good game.

Living in Croydon since 1973, then in Sussex, I've seen few Villa wins against Palace at Selhurst Park and some horrible defeats. My best and worst memories of that dreadful ground are both Wimbledon games. Dalian's goal of the season in 1992 was the best. The worst was in November 1994. Despite Townsend being sent off, we were 3-2 up into the last 10 minutes. Then Garry Parker charged forward on his own, lost the ball, Wimbledon swept upfield and Jones scored the equaliser. After that it was all Wimbledon and they scored the winner in the final minute.
Ron Atkinson was sacked the next day.

I was there for that one and it felt like the bitter relief of putting a sick animal to sleep. BFR's Villa were totally lost by then. My other memory is of eating a portion of Selhurst Park chips and being tempted to take bite out the cardboard container to see if *that* actually tasted of something

Need that away end to be sat together at home, might create some noise then.
