Pep was lucky then. So was Fergie - beating us in the FA Cup replay almost certainly saved his job and the rest, as they say, is history!

It may be apocryphal, but over the years I feel there's been a fair few occasions when defeat - or failure to beat - Palace has turned out to be the last straw for a manager. And so it is with Claude Puel. Any recollections of previous post-Palace-match sackings? Does van Gaal count?! Edited by YT (24 Feb 2019 11.04am) Yes it does, it showed that they expected to beat us more comprehensively. I hated them even more after

slightly off-topic but "Greaves was dropped from the first team after playing in an FA Cup defeat to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on 28 January 1970. He was never recalled to the starting line-up" I recall going to that game. Think it was a replay and we probably won 1-0. Pretty sure Gilzean got dropped as well for a while

Yep you're quite correct regarding Greaves and Gilzean. The ironic fact at that time was we had failed to beat any London club in the league, but knocked Spurs out of the FA cup and Arsenal out of the League cup at Highbury.During that spell in Div1, I think the only time we did manage a London league derby win was against Chelsea, and then we got relegated.

Correct. Allison had just been signed up as our new manager and was sat in the stand for the match.

And a much more enjoyable one. Gus Poyet, sacked by Brighton after we beat them 2-0 in the 2013 playoff semi final. And poo gate. Edited by DualCitizenUSA (24 Feb 2019 12.06pm) A very good call ^^

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes) |
