Best Palace game ever !!!!

I didn't sleep the night before the game as i was meeting my mate at East Croydon for 6am to get up to Euston and i was worried that i'd oversleep.

The game was amazing. I can't think of any other game where my emotions went from euphoria to total despair but we won in the end.

Remember queueing up after the game, at the train station, and a local tramp passed by, pulled down his trousers and did a dump in front of us !!

best Palace game ever, best comeback i've ever seen

You know, i don't think i've heard anyone mention that since that day, but yes, it was bloody cramped. I do remember that after Bright smashed in our first the crowd seemed to disperse in the celebrations and there was a lot more room.

'Better stop dreaming of the quiet life 'cos it's the one we'll never know'

that day was everything that was great about football went up to villa park on saturday stopped off and went in a pub in north london these spurs were taking the p why are you going your s*** one of the worst teams ever in top flight they are the best team in england you are fools for going and the next day after staying at family of one of my mates we were on north side of brum all the l'pool fans taking the p , slightly diffent on way out after top class win , when bright scored mental , what a day

Magic moment

The best game I ever went to... even better than the cup final (obviously not the replay). I seem to remember we were affectively 11-0 down for the season at that time - 9 at theirs and what I felt was a reasonable (only) 2 at ours.

We watched Liverpool stroke it about for twenty minutes whilst we chased shadows and then they seemed to say "oh, let's go get a goal" and sure enough Rush nipped down the right and popped one in.

Relief at half time. Only one. When I watched it on the telly later I think they asked Ray Wilkins about Rush being taken off with an injury. I recall he said something like "Well with a team of this class it won't matter - they'll just substitute one international for another".

Who knows if that made the difference but Johnny Pemberton's interception and run and Bright finishing it off turned the world on its head. Can you remember Bright's celebration - never saw someone jump so high, arch his back so much, almost screaming with delight, after scoring.

Later, I remember looking at that UNBELEIVABLE scoreboard,2-1, with only ten to go. And then, normal service resumed - the far more believable 2-3 about 3.4 milliseconds later. After all that, Wembley but a dream.

Then our third and Andy Thorn hitting the cross bar in the last minute - we could have won it, but no, the torture of extra time, when we ecstatically we did.

Super Alan Pardew.

I’ll be contentious - I think that Palace beating Liverpool, and finally succumbing to Man U in the replay (oh Stevie why were so defensive) ended Liverpool's dominance and started Man Us.

One final footnote, if you've got this far. In those years I had a girlfriend (could stop the sentence there) who was a Man U fan and she used to come to many of our games. For the final, she sat next to a big fat bloke in the Man U end and when Coppell brought on Wright, with us 2-1 down, he said "who the f**k is the n*****r". She looked at him and pointed out his name was Ian Wright, and he might choose to be more careful. First touch, Pallister inside out...... goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaalll.

How sweet.
