Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa pre match soul searching

[Somniloquism]

It isn't Palace, it is Selhurst Park. But if Unai does get the win tonight, I think we will be getting silverware this season as most of our usual curses have been broken.

Put eleven men in defence and we should get a point at least,it will probably baffle Palace and their support as well

The three away games i hate, newcastle, manure and this one.
Im hoping this season that changes with a hatrick of victories  at grounds we struggle
Palace are nothing at all why we always get spanked  against them i just do not get it

Apparently is the first time since 1989-90 season that we've had 4 consecutive away trips to London.  Back then we managed 3 wins and 1 draw....

It would baffle me as well. Fuck em - play to our strengths and tear em a new one, we've got it in us.

Easy one for me to get to tonight. The 75 buz from Lewisham to Croydon stops outside the ground. Spurs on Saturday will be the 5th London game in a month. I’ve had a great time! Sorry for everyone else of course, but I’m alright Jack!

Nice one. My ex use to live in Lewisham  so was there quite reguarly.

Enjoy the game !

Only been there once - 9 May 1993.  I was 11 and was at the Villa Oldham game the week before.

I went with the football team I played for, and my only memory is people climbing on the first aid room or similar, and the tannoy announcer said "please stop climbing on the first aid room, otherwise you may need first aid" of something like that

At the time I found it funny - though probably completely mis-remembering it

Men were such beasts in '93.

That's Newcastle when they had a few in the Holte.

Edit: Doh, it says it on one of the pics

This isn't the Palace of even three months ago so we'll win comfortably, Ollie will score and Rogers will chip in too 0-2.

Following year we played them a couple of days after Inter and there were a load in the Upper Trinity and it got a tad interesting.

Loss followed by three wins. (Millwall, Chelsea, Charlton and Spurs).

Spurs was the 7th win in a row and made us think we were going to win the league. Then Wimbledon rolled up to VP, Platt missed a pen and we never recovered.

Aye, thought it were worth a share from the same era though.

We also had a start similar to this seasons with no wins in the first four games.
