[Albion] How excited are you about the game against Palace?

[The red pepper kid]

Not been excited about any games this season. It’s not the same on TV

this - also I fall asleep in the second half of 8pm ko

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

we haven't hammered anyone for years. whilst we allude to it all clicking, it never has and I don't think it will any time soon.

Ah reverse psychology, I like it

 

[Birdie Boy]

I am looking forward to it as always but obviously not being there puts a little dampener on it. Having to wait 9 days between matches is also a piss off. Let's hope we find our shooting boots in that time.

You've got a nerve calling yourself kid then...

 

[Easy 10]

Palace are 15/4. Thought they'd be longer than that, but I might still have a cheeky consolation bet. I'll wait till the teams are in - if there's no SEGW then I'd expect that to lengthen considerably.

 

[Kosh]

Very excited. As giddy as a schoolboy.

 

[Mackenzie]

Probably going to be 0-0

 

[sparkie]

Looking forwwrd to it a lot. Palace must be red hot favourites but it'd be nice to win to get revenge for the Palace smash and grab larceny the last time they visited the Amex ( and the last match I attended ).

The consolation bet for me is a 0-0 draw at 15/2. In fact, I’m absolutely convinced it’ll be 0-0.

I might have a bet on Palace having no shots as well.

I am really looking forward to it. We're playing better than we ever have in the PL and they are at a real low point and genuinely in danger of relegation.

A Palace fan I know simply refuses to talk about football anymore. To quote his last rant to me in a text a few days ago - Brighton are going to win 5.0, Roy is clueless and has to go, the 442 they play is shit, their centre backs are 9,000 years old, Wilf is out for ages and definitely out of this game, the only way they don't get hammered is if Tompkins is fit and even then they'll still lose. He's written this game off and the relegation 6 pointer against Fulham a week later is now a bigger match. Things are so bad he'd take Smug Eddie apparently!

So I still fully expect it to finish 1.1 obviously.

 

[lawros left foot]

I’m going to bake a pie on Monday morning ready to throw at the telly if Mr Tumble is playing.

 

[goldstone]

Just as excited as before any other game. No more. No less.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Can you imagine smug eddie going to palace? This place would have a field day!

 

[Barham's tash]

Voted Meh but think that’s literally because of the crushing inevitability of the result due to the below:

1. We’re due a bit of a stinker... [Burnley doesn’t count in my book as it was a tired performance but one with grit to not lose]
2. You know Zaha will have a comeback of Lazurian proportions and put us to the sword
3. They can’t keep being as crap as they have

 

[Badger Boy]

Without fans it's just another game. I'd be BANG up for it if the stadium was open. M'eh.

Exactly where I am. I would have been ramping up the excitement over the weekend for the Monday night if we were going to be at the game, but we're not so it's just another slob out on the sofa and hope we don't embarrass ourselves.

Replace Burnley with Wimbledon and Zaha with Zamora and this seems like what Palace fans were thinking in October 2002. They just knew we were going to turn them over at Selhurst that day because we simply weren't going to carry on being shit forever...

 

[SAC]

Although not just another game, no fans makes all games a bit meh. Will probably get nervous, rather than excited, on Monday afternoon.

It's not helped by my stream being at least a minute behind the action.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I liked Woy's comment about his contract situation:

"What's happening at the end of the season, Roy?"

"I don't know, and I don't really care"

Inspirational

 

[m@goo]

The way we've been playing someone is due a thumping. Might as well be them!

Hopefully they don't sack Hodgson in the meantime meaning they'll be playing to impress a new manager.

 

[RossyG]

I’m as excited as I can be for a game with no fans. Hopefully the last Palace game we’ll play without a full house.

The last match I attended was us losing to Palace almost a year ago. I’ll be watching from behind the sofa, Doctor Who style, hoping that doesn’t happen again.
