Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Ref not being fussy about where throw ins are taken from...

[usav]

Looking like 3-5-2 at the moment

Agreed

Is this a small pitch? Doesn't seem to be any space when we attack.

[cdbearsfan]

Bloody Hell, a dodgy decision in our favour. It'll never last.

[Martyn Smith]

Great run by SJM there. And a wrong decision goes our way. Auspices

There's always been something sort of plasticky, gimmicky and manufactured about Crystal Palace. I've no idea how old they are as a club, and can't be arsed to google, but they always come across as a bit of a modern era (in football terms) thing.

Even their 'big' rivalry with Brighton is laughably fake.

Same width, 4 metres shorter than VP.

Palace as we know it are 'recent' but their roots are before we existed.

I think they're one of the oldest clubs in the world.

We've set up to strangle their midfield. SFSG

Disappeared for 30 years from 1875-1905, though.

Ollie would be some player if he had a first touch.

Founded in the twentieth century = a big no, no from me. How classless.

[pauliewalnuts]

Didnt they also try to introduce cheerleaders as part of that laughable 'team of the 80s' thing?

I don't like them.
