I have to agree it was the policing that ruined it for me last time I went. That, er, and the result (clue: our manager at the time had just undergone successful treatment with penicillin), obvs

The rap in the middle is sublime.
This guy is just so talented.
Can’t wait to meet him one day!

Just hope we turn up for this, if we do we can beat them given recent away form

Why oh why oh why?
I met him at the AMEX last season - queuing up at half time in ESL (I think...) and realised he was in the next queue, so said hello and had a brief chat.

Agree. If we play like we have been playing over the last few games there is every reason to be confident. The nightmare is that we just have one of those inexplicably flat games where we can't do any of the things we normally do.

If we play as we did at Liverpool and Arsenal we'll be ok. If we play as we did at Man U we won't. I am a bit concerned about Stephens being out and probably having to put Mooy in the middle when he has been outstanding a bit wider.
We need to start well and keep the crowd quiet.

Me too, Stephens is integral to how we play this season, was MOM against Wolves for me. It's not the game to be going with an enforced reshuffle in midfield, but needs must. Still hoping for a win of course but would happily settle for a draw.
Ha ha! Mark me down as another watching from behind the sofa
Ha ha I'll be under the Duvet ready to pull the plug after the game, still, quite used to disappointments after the past few weeks!

I'm generally a negative person when it comes to predicting a good result, and tonight is no different.
Yes, we have a strong squad and can win.
But there's something telling me we'll have an early disaster (red card/quick fire double from Palace) and a trip back with nil points.
Hope those that go enjoy it and get the team over the line!

Probably the most evenly matched game, since the playoffs.
I worry that our new style will play into their hands.
I think we will need to be defensively stronger to triumph in this one.
I would take a draw ( but I always say that for this fixture)
