Roy with the "who dares wins attitude" for this game. It'll be a hold out for as long as possible until we concede and then react with a desperate 80th minute sub to try and nick one back.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing (or pick the same players) over & over expecting a different result.
Why can't the manager give us something to cheer about for once?

Not even the most optimistic on here expect anything other than a dire back-to-the wall park the bus effort today.

Arsenal are on a poor run of form but, rest assured, Palace are noted for their rejuvenating effect on the opposition.

Just hope that the few efforts on goal we make result in a goal.

Man and boy Palace since my first game in 1948 sitting on my dad's shoulders

F all. A bit like playing him at Number 10 last game

That's alright Willo - as long as there's no booing!

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

He played a back 3 on Wednesday and in the pre-match presser for today's game made the point that Richards is a CB and plays best in that position, so will we see:
5-3-1-1 with Eze operating behind Mateta? (and on rare occasions: 3-5-1-1?)
