Given the choice, I’d have an FA Cup for Palace. I’d go further. Given the gift of time travel, I’d swap the 66 World Cup victory for Palace winning the 1990 Cup Final. Even though it would upset my Dad who was at Wembley in 66. Purely hypothetical, I know, but intrigued by your response and value judgments.

Palace winning the FA Cup without question trumps England winning tomorrow. Whilst I do want England to win, any Palace victory feels so much more important to me. I guess it's because Palace has been with me as long as I remember. Dad and I were there in 1990 and somehow the emotions were stirred much more than watching any England game. Such a pity we just couldn't hang on after Wrighty put us ahead towards the end. The day of the World Cup final in '66 I was at Santa Pod watching drag racing. Much more thrilling than football to me at that point. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Palace, Palace, Palace, Although i want England It wont effect me one bit if they lose. “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

As a Scotland fan I’m torn. I’d love a Palace cup final win but England winning the Euros might stop the TV wittering on about 1966 every time there’s a major tournament. Actually I think that’s wishful thinking. I’ll go for the Palace cup win.

I’m actually torn. It’s amazing seeing the unity the national team bring. That said, I reckon I’d probably choose Palace. If it was the World Cup then I’m not sure though "It feels much better than it ever did, much more sensitive." John Wayne Bobbit

Club v Country...Club every time for me. Like I suspect many others have, I've gradually fallen out of any love I had for national team. Credit to the way that Gareth has worked so hard and so impressively to change the mindset of the players and restore a connection between the players and the fans. Old, Ungifted and White

Palace. I think any true club fan of a club our size would say the same. If you’re a glory hunter (Man Utd/Liverpool type) the trophies become a bit meaningless so they’d probably say England.
