I’m excited about Sunday and, if we win, dream about lifting the cup. But not a foregone conclusion. If Grimsby beat us then I’d love them to go all the way.
If GS actually came out and stated why, over the last few years, he’s picked Maguire/Mings/Guehi and not Dunk - and gave valid reasons based on ability and form, I could accept it more. But I’m finding his squads predictably based on no form and past clubs. I’m really losing interest in how...
He played well, had no dramas, and genuinely looked like he was enjoying the 'banter' from the North. He'll be disappointed to lose of course, but on reflection today I bet he's buzzing.
I was worried we'd give 'tinpottery' ammunition to Palace with the announcement of a pre game light show, but the club seemed to thinly disguise it as part of Fan Zone, maybe to make it less obvious!
According to my Futbology app, in my 35 years of supporting, I've never seen Grimsby, so another one ticked off! I'm looking forward to this one, we SHOULD win, I think Grimsby fans in their big numbers will make it a great atmosphere. 4-0
Palace's form has been bad, but I can see Zaha setting the example to his team and putting everything into tomorrow - can he inspire them?..Looking forward to this one, under the lights as well.
'Player issued' - could this mean that they might not even be the ones worn during the game, they could be unused back-ups in case match shirts are ripped or bloodied?
Can I also add in 'We're all going on a European tour' as one to avoid until such a time that we are winning comfortably and post 85 mins..(which isn't guaranteed)
I'd suggest that if anyone ever wants a crap at the Amex, do it well before the start of the game, otherwise you'll be cleaning 30 assorted mis-directed sprays of the yellow stuff off the seat (unless you are good at hovering...). The North is bad, usually accompanied by a large puddle of the...
Back in the Championship days, I knew a Leeds fan via work. He came down from Leeds for an Amex game, and spent the whole game at the concourse bar - didn't go into the stand at all!
I really don’t think Palace will go down, but if they get nothing against City, us and Arsenal, they then have a run of 6 games against the teams squabbling for survival below them. This is Palace’s season defining period, they are well and truly in the relegation mix if they don’t beat at least...
