***Palace v Champs Official Match Thread***

[brite blu sky]

No particular reason but I’m bricking it, Selhurst Park can have quite an intimidating atmosphere so need to shut the crowd up from the get go.

There's good reasons for bricking it imo. Very tricky oppo, fairly crucial game for us to keep the thieves at bay so stakes are high.

personally im going with a c'est la vie on this one. I'd like to go into the scouce game only needing a draw. but if the shit hits the fan tonight we will just have to balls out won't we

[CTID Hants]

No doubt that no good piece self entitled "I deserve to be playing champions league' cunt Zaha will undoubtedly raise his game against us.

He's a 1 goal in 5 games player yet always shows up against us the turd.

[Hazy2]

are we actually playing tonight? You wouldn't think it looking at BBC football page

Tranny wankfest over there along with raggy ralph going on about winning the champions league.
And of course that Haaland only wants to go to real or barca.

Shit teams have won it before mate.

There's shit and there's shit.
Then there's rags.

True.

[Original Dub]

I'm nervous about this one too, but I'm hoping the second half of the rag game was us getting our swagger back and about to go on another barn storming run to the end of the season.

Come on City !!!!

Our best XI almost. It’s now up to us to deliver the goods

[brite blu sky]

Good team

Well that's the first hurdle cleared

No brain farts

Walker in net, Ed at right back and Rodri false 9

[Harry Dowd scored]

Let's hope for a good start to the game, early goal would be nice

[blues2win]

Can’t argue with the line up. Really strong start needed.

[Nick]

Shittin it for many reasons

Big game

Good lineup

[Nick]

Ps scholes sucks toes

[Dimples]

Good start, our best 11, no changes from the Rag game.
As old City supporter I have no objectivity and always default to expect the worst.

The bookies are always impartial and they have us as 2/7 and Palace at 9/1 with the draw at 4/1.
Kev is beginning to shoot the lights out again so heres hoping.

[blues2win]

I went to the home match. We started sluggishly and couldn’t pick it up. Need to take a grip of the match from the whistle.

[Mase]

Great team

[PaulieIrish]

Was sure we'd see Sterling in for "insert your pick here". Nice job Pep.

Now up to the players to deliver...

[sheblue]

Strongest possible team from those available.
Good man Pep.
