Tough game this one. Been impressed with Palace this season, considering i had them tipped to go down. I'd be happy with a draw. A win would be fantastic and would set a marker that we mean business again!

Really difficult game. We are always shite at Selhurst it seems.

A point would be excellent and I would take that all day long.

Please tell me Kevin Friend is not the referee.

me too mate. I'd take it without a ball being kicked! if we get 3 points i'd be over the moon!

Agree with the concensus on this one, a draw would be a decent result.
Think he needs to keep Buendia on the bench for this one.
He can't seem to do right for doing wrong at the moment.
Just hoping Kevin Friend isn't on the whistle.

You posted it whilst I was typing. Lol.
Shame when the bloody referee leaves us mentally scarred.

did we not last win when he was refereeing against man united?

Really not sure, I was thinking the VAR debacle from two seasons back at Selhurst.

Just checked, if you are talking about the recent win at OT, it was that other twat Mike Dean.

Always hate this fixture as it seems to be a bogey ground for us. We've only won there once since 1980. Would be great if we could get back to back clean sheets and I'd probably take a draw.
Cant see Gerrard making many changes if any - maybe bring in Bailey for Buendia to give us more pace on the counter

ah i get those two twats mixed up haha

I don't think we have had the useless incompetent t**t aka Kevin Friend since the Palace game. Quite comfortably the worst decision I have ever seen , and that takes some doing.

Afternoon sirdennis.

I would be delighted with a point , and I think we have every chance of getting a result there purely down to that fact that @Melon Donkey isn't going.
