Cannot believe it's been 24 years today that we beat the great Liverpool team against all the odds(well the media never gave us a prayer). who was there that day and what memories or recollections do you have?

I think that next year, all games should kick off 7 minutes late in respect of the 25th anniversary of how many minutes we were away from achieving our rightful destiny.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

Remember like it was yesterday mate, at the start of the second half ian rush and phil Thompson were walking back to the dugout and just as they sat down, billy b lent over and screamed at both of them ' TWO BIG NOSES' everyone around us pissed themselves laughing.
Plus everytime we scored we ran on the pitch given it to there bench.

What a great day.

All I can remember was that it was like some kind of surreal experience. I left Canada at 8pm on the Friday, arrived Gatwick around 8am on the Saturday. Took the train up to Croydon and started to see Palace scarves out and about early in the day. Picked up the match tickets at the box office and then jumped the train up to London and on to Villa Park.
By the time I was in the ground I had been up for around 36 hours straight. The match was starting to become a bit of a blur, but capped off with Super Alan Pardews 4-3 goal and hugging some guy that I had never met before.
Tried to call my Palace supporting brother back in Canada outside the ground after the game to describe the euphoria. Couldn't do it justice. One of the best days of my life and followed by a trip back to England for the final.

Always look on the bright side of life

Those were the days boys - was only 6 at the time but remember it like it was yesterday! Big TP will be taking us there next season!
