Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Pre match thread

Couldn't give a shit. Enjoy lads. Play the kids.

Premier League would probably deduct us 6 points for undermining competition integrity…

Thought we’d lose our last two games due to injuries and being knackered etc, but after the fantastic performance against Liverpool and now qualifying for CL I really think we will beat them. In all honesty if we lose and Ollie gets his goal that’s enough for me.

Ollie getting his 20th goal. That's all I ask for. A massive stepdown from my normal demands!

I mean the lads already featuring in the 1st team squad.

[Flamingo Lane]

Now that 4th place is done and dusted I imagine that our game will not be one that is shown live. City's and Arsenal's games will of course be shown, so I guess the other one or two will be those that focus on who gets Europa League qualification.

3.3 end of season.

[Brend'Watkins]

Emery has got the job done but he will set out to win this. Pressure is off but we still need to smash down the Palace. 

The lads had a lock in upstairs at Albert Schloss til at least 4am. Ollie and Matty Cash came downstairs to DJ, gave Hi-ho Silver Lining a spin.

Just something to consider for your predictions.

They're young and have enough days to recover. They'll be professional and will want Ollie to get his 20th goal. 
If Spurs had won last night I think they'd all have been tucked up in their beds by 10pm.

[Chico Hamilton III]

Who cares. 

My son. And I don’t have a ticket for him yet, so if anyone wants to sell theirs….

It’s the only premier league ground we can get the bus to from the top of our road. Number 75, Lewisham to Croydon.

[Baldy]

71 points sounds a lot better than 68. Unai will demand a victory.

Getting Champions league qualification is a bit like getting promotion. For a player it is a doubled edged sword. Villa players will know the cheque book will be out this summer as the squad will have to be strengthened/upgraded to meet the extra demands of Champions league football.

This is the last match to impress the boss and leave a lasting memory over the summer. The fans can rejoice but the players can't, they are playing for their future.

For this reason Palace 2 Villa 3

[VILLA MOLE]

A crazy let’s go got it 4-4 draw

[VillaTim]

Be nice to finish off with a win and take the wind out of their sails . Watkins to hit the 20 mark too.
3-2 Villa win incoming .

[eamonn]

I want us to be in the 70s so please win.

[LeeS]

Our chances of winning this have improved dramatically now. No pressure, full of confidence, team absolutely buzzing. Sorry Palace, your bubble is about to be burst.

[pablo_picasso]

Would love to see a few of the youngsters thrown in to see if they float.

Kellyman, Iroegbunam, Kesler-Hayden & maybe Young.

The game means nothing in the grand scheme, so a perfect opportunity.

[eamonn]

Now we're in the Champions League, kinky things may be expected of us.

Once the game is over, let's tie-up Eze, Olise and Mateta, throw them in the boot of the team bus where they can have a threesome on the way back to Body-more Heath before signing for us.
