[Albion] Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

Pardon? Whats this about?

The fact Zaha won’t be playing was discussed at the pre match managers press conference but was embargoed until last night (supposedly). Someone (like you) was asking what was embargoed.

Oh ok, but there's nothing to stop them lying in the press conference. X isn't fit, followed by them announced in the starting line-up an hour before kickoff.

Of course not, but doubt he will feature based on this

The better team has failed to win this game since the 3-1 in 2017. Tine for that to change. If we play as well as we can it could be a schooling

I kinda figured he wasn't going to feature on the basis that he recently injured his hamstring. I'm not going to rely on embargoed press conferences, even if they're usually right.

I'm planting a hedge. Should keep me distracted until about 2pm.

Oooh what you planting….i was doing the same yesterday..mixture of blackthorn/hawthorn/buckthorn/wild privet and dog rose

 

[B-right-on]

Hopefully a decent stream for the game.

I've somehow missed this.
I know who SEGW is but what does this stand for?

Thankyou for asking this. I've was searching it in Google this morning to no avail...

I'm feeling the usual nerves going into a Palace game, but also quietly confident we can get a convincing result.
I wonder what they're are feeling? Most fans don't like the prospect of playing us at the moment.

Stop saying it, or you'll revive him like Beetlejuice...

This fixture seemed to be a huge blind spot for Potter. It’s been way too long since we’ve had the warm glow of having put the Nigels firmly in their place.

Time it kicks off I'll be on an 11hr flight back from Cape Town.

Envious! One of the world's great cities.

 

[Arkwright]

Just coming into Croydon, the locals aren't very confident.

 

[Robinjakarta]

I still haven’t forgotten that bloody lockdown match at the Amex. We are different animal now though.

You're lucky. I still haven't forgotten that bloody cup tie and referee at Stamford Bridge.

What I can’t understand is how they think they dominated at Selhurst last season.

If that’s them dominating a home game they have low expectations.

To be fair they played far better in that game than they have against us for many years. They actually had a go, competed. It was like a proper football game that one. Understandable that they look back at it fondly.

I think they will try to attack more than Bournemouth, but there will also be counter attack opportunities for them and I can't see them being as wasteful as Bournemouth.

I’m not sure. I don’t know why but I’m weirdly optimistic for this one. I think the Bournemouth result finally made me think that perhaps we’ve broken an old pattern of “an unexpected/difficult win must be followed by an unexpected loss to a team lower in the table.”

And let’s be honest, we all really want to win this one.
