....than Palace v Burnley, live on Amazon Prime (and twitch).

I mean, it's THEM. Against THEM. Both safe, neither going to win anything and live and direct from an even more empty Selhurst exclusively over the interweb.

I'd hate to be the poor commentator risking the plague to cover this one.

But Palace's two games since Restart began have both been away – Plucky and Liverpool.

Tonight, they're at home.

So this is the world's first chance to see Palace's new stand in all its glory.

Football fans from across the globe are waiting for this moment, the unveiling of what's surely the greatest monument to football stadia ever imagined.

The game is but a mere sideshow.

It's one of life's conundrums.

Cardiff v Burnley, and vice versa last season.

Two attritional teams of giants and masters of time wasting.

I hadn't slept so well in years.

I raise you Boro vs Burnley or Stoke a few seasons ago

Surely, you have to tune in just for Palaces world beating atmosphere?
Imagine what the piped crowd noise on the telly will be like?
I hope they get it from games where they weren't booing their own players and the throat slitting gestures of a couple of years back.

I have Amazon Prime. I won't be watching.

Because it's Premier League football, Jnr will want to watch.


Yet more evidence that I have failed as a parent and he might as well have been bought up by a succession of FIFA games.

I've watched a lot of the games. It's the play-off final for me today.

:lolol: You’re right, it is a Hobson choice of a match, a shall I sniff glue or turps for 90mins type dilemma. Still, maybe a plane will fly over :whistle:
