Palace v Villa Pre-Match Thread

[hilts_coolerking]

Fuck it, the run's got to end sometime.  2-1 us.  Gabby and Weimann.  Don't know for them; don't care.

[Steve kirk]

Another draw for the mighty Villa 1-1, we will score first half with yet another late heartbreaking equaliser,  bigger worry for me is the game that follows as if Leicester lose to Liverpool tomorrow they will inevitably get the win they desperately need at Villa park a week on Sunday.

Oh no.

So soon?

Palace win for me. 3.1.

Our squad has no depth and we have the most tactically inept manager in our living memory. Food and drink for the old warhorse Warnock.

Just over 2300 sold for tomorrow. Great support.

We're doomed - 'Lawro' predicts we'll win.

Had to laugh at guest pundit Steph Houghton's prediction: "I don't think it will be a very exciting game. 0-0"

Absolutely superb.

Is there a more difficult ground to get to  ? As for parking the car, the palace website is really helpful -

Car Parking
Most streets around the ground are either designated as residents only parking on matchdays or are pay and display with a four hour limit, so please take note of any street signs advising of parking restrictions.

The Sainsburys car park adjacent to the ground also has parking restrictions on a matchday allowing cars to stay for a maximum of four and a half hours. Anyone exceeding this time limit will be fined.

Please note that the traffic is busy around the stadium on Saturdays so make sure you allow yourself some extra time to make the journey.

I'd just park in martyn Smiths front room.

Be my guest :-). Actually parking is unrestricted on the road I live on, Brampton Road CR0 6JN, and the roads around there, and is only a 20-25 minute walk from the ground.

Speaking of which, where is everyone drinking before the game? I have a ticket for the home end (my Palace supporting mate and his g/f have split and she's no longer interested in her season ticket), but would like to meet up with Villa fans before the game. I'm not sure what the away pubs are there though...

She should be at home washing the dishes and cooking her husband's dinner...

last year there was lots of Villa in The Flora Sands opposite Thornton Heath train station. Shitole but lots of fun.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

                  Guzan


Hutton   Okore  Clark  Cissoko

   Sanchez  Westwood

Grealish Cleverly Gabby

         Benteke

Would love Cole but not worth the risk of longer term fitness/injury
Bacuna Robinson Wemann to keep pressing if anyone fades 0-2 Hutton Cleverley .........

Up this morning and hoping for a miracle in Fornton Heaf .

[Havencheese]

4-1 loss. Not usually this pessimistic, think Warnock will galvanise them.

There is a Wetherspoons pub on Norwood High Street that is ok for away fans.

Norwood Junction is 11 mins from London Bridge.
