Aston Villa v Crystal Palace FAC Semi Final Pre Match Thread

[Jane]

Really nervous about this one. This season is all going to go wrong isn't it?

[Sexual Ealing]

Yes.

[cdbearsfan]

Of course. I'm still not convinced we'll get past Preston.

[Matt C]

Hope Emery defers to the old guard to start this one - Cash, Mings, McGinn & Watkins. Wonder if Maatsen’s pace out wide might be useful too.

I have my nerves about random flixbus texts to distract me!

[Monty]

There's literally no chance we're winning this. These'd beat us even if we were the whisk and they were the egg.

[Meanwood Villa]

Agreed. They will funeral us and it will rain.

[Richard E]

Bayern are going to equalise.

[Jane]

Yeh - that as well!!

[Pete3206]

It must be full time surely. Bring on the penalties.

I've noticed hotels are very expensive in central London on the night of May 17th. It's the only reason I haven't booked one.

Beating Palace and City to lift the FA Cup would be most sweet...

Beating anyone to lift the FA cup would be candilicious

Well hotels are not going to be any cheaper at around 7.15pm tomorrow.

It’s the Bobby Moore charity wear any football shirt day.

Could get Man City/Forest cancellations Sunday evening/early next week?
