Unfortunately it's not going to make the slightest bit of difference for this one I'm afraid. we are fecked.

Let's look at it as a practice session for when Villa arrive.

All-knowing, all-seeing

No offence to the previous posters but this is the sort of response I was hoping for.

I believe we can make it more difficult!!!

We should do our very best. It's more about inspiring our team than putting off Chelsea. They have see it all before and with respect to Selhurst it's not the Camp Nou

The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years

Camp Nou does not create a good atmosphere at all it is a Spanish OT.

I booked my train from manchester last night for it, so i'll be doing my bit to make it a cauldron. People with a 'why bother attitude' may just be lowering their expectations so if we do lose they dont get as upset, but chelsea aren't that convincing away from home, I would say west ham, fulham and city are the only games this season where they dominated and won convincingly. A lot of times mourinho goes for a semi defensive display as to not lose and hopes hazard, oscar etc knick a goal or 2. Will that work? who knows, we are very solid defensively but tend to give the opposition at least one good chance a game, the good teams take it, bad ones dont so far.

Having said that, mourinho is one of the best tacticians ever and will know how we play and may decide 'going for it' is the best option, especially with our attack. BUT, no game at selhurst under TP will be over before a ball is kicked, we still have a chance

Messi, you're good, but you can't hit a ball like ambrose
