[Albion] For all those at Selhurst in 2003

[PWA]

Yes, was hoping for the 5.

4 still special ️️

I think you’re right. Hoping for 5nil is unlikely to ever happen, and we mustn’t be greedy. Especially whilst we’ve European distraction….which Palace never had!

I was hoping for a fifth but my mrs turns to me and says I’ve bet 4-1 with 10 mins to go so didn’t want a fifth as she paid for dinner tonight!!

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Oh. But that wasn't the payback. No no.

After the 2003, after their play off win, after their lucky as f*** lockdown Amex win, we owe them much much more than that.

Today was just a down payment, The real revenge is yet to come

Personally I was disappointed. Revenge for that game was so on the cards and the ghosts could have been permanently laid to rest. However we have to suck up a 4-1 and wait another day to beat those cints by 5 so we can all sleep easy knowing order has been restored and our PTSD can be cured. It was there on a plate.

For me the ghost of that game was put to bed after the 3-1 at the Amex. 3 up at half time after scoring 2 playing with only ten men verses losing 5-0 when we had a player sent off. They were abject then as well. That game was the turning point for me.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

I was there in 2002. I had to leave the game early as I had a plane to catch from Gatwick for a lads weekend in Amsterdam. The steward would not let me leave early until I showed him my plane ticket.

I can confirm I didn't see any Palace in the Dam.

What did you have?

 

[Commander]

I have noticed recently thar the beeb website often refers to 4-1 wins as "thrashings". So there you go, I think it should be a 5 goal difference but who am I to argue.

I agree 4-1 is a thrashing. It’s better than 3-0 which is a proper beating, but I’m not sure it is a ‘thrashing’. 4-1 is, that extra goal matters because it makes the consolation seem a bit pathetic, and not worth the effort.

Selhurst Oct 2002 is one of my darkest days supporting the club but surprisingly I was actually over it when we beat them up there in 2004 with Paul McShane’s winner.

The only slight negative about yesterday?

No clean sheet, and maybe we took our foot of the gas, at 3-0 nil with them so dire, we could have had a cricket score, but heigh ho, 4-1 will do

 

[Balls of Steele]

Still not over that day! Never been back since. Really wanted us to get five nil, wasn't to be but ain’t complaining because I didn’t even want to be there today was so convinced we’d lose. A famous win, well done boys!!! Did us proud.

Same for me- never been back and been waiting for us to exact revenge. Nearly the case yesterday! To see the emptying stand and silence from their fans was a joy.
