Would love it to be a big score to nil. Might not get too many chances if they end up down their usual end of the table, and finally disappear into L1 this season.
I would take a narrow defeat to Liverpool (no shame in that), in exchange for absolutely stuffing Palace out of sight, several to nil. Am I on my own with that one?
Except, maybe those made from a certain petro-chemical derivative. They would probably have the order reversed.
For me, simply must beat Palace. Can't contemplate a defeat, and won't be happy with just a draw.
Ron Atkinson once said, about how Coventry managed to stay in the top flight for so many years, that, if the Titanic had been built in Coventry, it wouldn't have gone down!
Let's not forget we have two much more important games, against Leeds and Pikeys, coming up. Leeds only two days later. Surely it makes sense to rest a few people and give some of the other members of the squad a start?
