Palace are one of those teams who are hard to play against but also play half decent football. Should be a good game. I'll go 3-1. Watkins to get one which is not ruled out for an eyelash being offside.

I remember that 6 - 2. Or at least the first half. Watched it at home with my mate, and said we would have a scotch and dry every time Villa scored. It was carnage. Havent drunk scotch since.

Don’t like stats today. Zaha has never scored against us and Palace have not scored in last 3 at Villa park losing all...a bit like Brighton had never won☹️

🤣 yes Olaftab!

One game I am not worried about, since we are 22 for 12, as I still see this season as survival.  We are good, but if we make mistake,  we lose,  if not, we will win comfortably

Palace had a goal ruled out on the run-in last season which may have been the difference in which league we played in this season.

Am I right in thinking this is the first time in history we’ve played a league game live on the BBC?

Villa 6 Everton 2 1989?


This was definitely on a Sunday afternoon on ITV. I'd just scored four for the under 11s.

Funnily  enough I watched the highlights the other day. Remember it like yesterday, probably as there was so little live football on TV back then. I clearly recall Keown getting absolutely slaughtered by our fans. Olney and Ormandroyd up front, 2 of the lankiest villa players ever.

Defo ITV as Brian Moore is commentating.

Unchanged team. Still no Barkley in squad, Konsa on bench.
