Crystal Palace FC Thread + Championship Chat

That was odd, us playing a convincing game from the start really. Haven't seen that sort of performance in a while!

Apols on the Gabbidon bet, it was a long shot to be fair!

Comiserations to Brighton, but this means nothing to Palace unless we get promoted, so we have to hopefully do this again to Watford.

I was in shock when both of those goals went in

I think not young man - defeat in the semi would have meant years of pain!
Losing in the final will not be anywhere near as bad as losing last night.

[Matt50]

Still buzzing so much after last night.  Just how well did we play?
To defend the way we did for 180 minutes was superb.  Ward and Moxey the 2 full backs were best players for us in both legs.
Jedinak was immense last night, and Speroni did what he has been doing for the last 8 years, pulling off important saves.
And Zaha, well it wasnt his best game, everything he tried failed to come off.  I am still in shock that he scored with his head.  His second goal showed just why he should be played down the middle sometimes - what a finish.

Support was unbelievable, Brighton fans had the place rocking at the start but there was only one team singing at the end.

Oh, and tickets already booked for the final, cat 3  block 133 - bring it on.

[Matt50]

Was Speroni good?

Scotty you know him well enough to know the answer to that question 

[Matt50]

Just one more thing - i hope the loan thing doesnt overshadow the build up to the game.
I hope Holloway sees fit to not mention it at all and concentrate on us.  It is going to be tough keeping a rejuvinated Watford side at bay, but play like we did last night and who knows.  Maybe it is meant to be for Wilf to score the winner as a lovely leaving present.

[Matt.NFFC.]

Good luck in the final guys.

We've missed out a few times, I feel your pain.  I have the comfort of having the best laugh in ages when Leicester went out.

Football can be so brutally cruel.

Any sign of Dempsey? Had a suicidal text after the game. Those 2 seasons of supporting Brighton have evidently taken its toll

All London final!

Not quite Aaron    ....    

Right a quick Wemberleeeeeeeeeeeeee quiz question.

The Ricoh has a Casino under its pitch - whats under the 'hallowed turf' at Rip Off FA H/Q?

Surprised tikay hasn't answered this yet.

Right up his street too, Vin.

Best team went through. The players lost their heads, oh well. Now it's a question of who can we keep.

Poyet obviously the most important, but looking unlikely given his comments after the game.
Bridge will surely go to a prem league team next season, Lopez and Bridcutt likely to leave as well i would have thought and possibly Buckley?
Think you really need to try and keep Upson.  If we did win the final i would love for us to sign him, been very impressed with him at Brighton.

[Ant040689]

This is amusing just for the fact Holloway has some moves

hahaha is that Holloway at the start singing "YOU AINT AS GOOD AS YOU THOUGHT".

Sounds like him!

[Marky147]

I reckon it is

Boy has definitely got some moves, Diversity need to sign him up!

[Ant040689]

Yup, hilarious. But we need to take this into the final, please please win. The comradery looks solid at the moment though, thought it must currently be in the Watford camp!

[Ant040689]

By the way, right at the end he has popped in a "you f*cking deserved that"

Poyet is not the most important, that is tony bloom.

Poyet attitude is really a disgrace, one of the biggest budgets in the league and moans! Would love to have Di Matteo.

Our fitness levels really let us down and for the second time since 1991 I left before the final whistle.

Final could be a nice open contest I think! Not really that fussed who wins as palarse games distract our season.
