I don’t care about top players plying their trade if you compare it to winning a cup. If that excites you buy a season ticket at Chelsea or Arsenal like so many others. I love being a premier league team but winning the cup would be one of the greatest days of my life! Telling me that no one remembers Wigan winning the FA cup? I remember the irony of Ben Watson scoring the Winner as the first man the ball hit from a corner (I have this image of him repeatedly hitting the first defender when taking corners for us). Barring a miracle or surprise investment we will never be a top six team, which I don’t think I’d enjoy anyway, Years from now no one will remember our few years run in the premier league, much like Bolton, Wigan, Charlton, Ipswich etc. etc. etc. An FA cup win would stay with me, and be remembered, for a very long time!! No one really cares about any other team anyway do they in all seriousness ...only Brighton remember everything we do as we do them.

Palace don’t need to etch their place in history as far as I am concerned, they are already there. Never a dull moment, never has been, wouldn’t swap it. Where? Does the ZDS cup or two runners up medals for the fa cup count?

I disagree. Palace will get relegated whether it be this year, next year or the season after. I am not saying I want us to get relegated. I am saying I want us to win a trophy. I cannot see why we can’t do. Oth. Totally agree.

Kill joys. Sometimes try living for the moment. What a memorable day in the Homesdale lower. Great atmosphere great game great fun. We just smashed Totnum top 6 club. What’s not to be proud happy and overjoyed about. 6 regulars missing. So Roy has got so many options now.

Great day I would love to win the cup it would become our history how fantastic. Ok there would be a risk of getting relegated sometimes because of the distraction or extra injuries etc but if it did happen we just love a good playoff campaign soon enough.

With the return and performance today, now is the time to get Wilf & Wan B back as real wingers as it was months ago, to feed Connor etc. WanB has seemed lost in my opinion by turning in well before he needs to, and its one of his best qualities, likewise Wilf needs to also get down around the Corner flag more often. So if Benteke and Wickham are in the middle its the way to go. Great result today, and a bit unexpected and we need to smash the Saints to distance Palace from the bottom six. Could be an expensive year for me again should we get to the Final, all the way from OZ
