Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[ROBBO]

Gerrard will be at them this week to build the momentum.

[Drummond]

Mings will get sent off for decking Zaha, who will score 2.

Ings will then come on to replace Watkins who has single-handedly knackered their whole defence. He'll scroe a hat-trick, and Targett will leave one on Zaha, fairly and he'll have to go off injured. We will then bring on Archer and Chukwuemeka and score another 2.

2-5

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Question is, will our Friend be the ref there again? I haven't forgotten the disallowed last minute goal we should have been given a couple of years ago to help keep us up, which would have stopped the eventual Sheffield United goal line technology hullabaloo in its tracks.

Fancy a 2-2 draw. Ollie to score again.

[Nev]

Dreadful place to get to and experience, along with our awful record making this the most unappealing of fixtures. A draw is the most likely I feel, hopefully the manager will have had enough time to make an impact including making a positive decision on the Ings/Watkins conundrum.
From a positive point of view records are there to be broken, sequences upset and conventional wisdom turned upside down so I'll stick my neck out and go for a tight, bruising, yellow card strewn victory.

0-1

[Dr Butler]

I have never seen us win there and I'm not going so a Villa win 2-1

I'm going to this so I can see us winning 2-1.

[tomd2103]

In reality, I think 4 points from the next 3 games would be a pretty decent return.

I have, but not against Palace!

[Allan C]

I have to admit to being caught up in the Steven Gerrard euphoria and I’m going for a 2-0 win for us, don’t care who scores. I’ve also got an irrational dislike of Crystal Palace for absolutely no reason. Gerrard will have had another week to work on them so I’m very confident

[ASHTONVILLA]

Think we will pick up momentum and win 1-3

[eamonn]

Disappointed with the Doc's pessimism. Swiftly reassured by Daz's confidence.

[Sexual Ealing]

There's a Sainsbury's next door for a comforting scotch huevo after the inevitable 2-1 loss.

Ings will then come on to replace Watkins who has single-handedly knackered their whole defence. He'll scroe a hat-trick, and Targett will leave one on Zaha, fairly and he'll have to go off injured. We will then bring on Archer and Chukwuemeka and score another 2.

Have you asked the bookies to give you odds on all those events to happen?

[Martyn Smith]

Tricky one to call. We're awful there since Benteke scored that goal out of nowhere on a bastard cold winter's night under Lambert. He's finally beginning to show something like that kind of form again but for them now.

Can we just settle it in a managers duel - who was the better player, Paddy or Steven ?

I was there for that one but in the home end, Palace supporting mate had a spare ticket.

Will be there Sat, a Bournemouth Lion season ticket holder who sadly cannot go because of the virus has sold me his ticket.

1-0 Villa, Watkins 74 mins. On the break after Palace press and carry the game but our defence hold firm...

I teach a lot of Palace fans. I hope I'm not unhappy on Monday!
