The way some palace fans are carrying on you would think there was some insurmountable gulf of quality between us. Fact is take away a few last minute lapses of concentration and we would be pretty much level with them.

I expect a tough and close encounter with palace having the advantage of being at home. However hoping some of the ridiculous overconfidence of some of croydons finest comes back to haunt them tonight

I may be 250 miles away from the match, but still cannot wait to watch it on a live stream

Going to be stuck at work all afternoon and will be like a cat on a hot tin roof (sorry for the choice of words Glasfryn).

Badly want the win this afternoon. It's time for some payback.

no worries mate
on the subject of cats this morning it has been the first time in ages that Meggy has shown any interest in the PC (she has not been well of late) which to me is a great sign that we are going to do well
I am going for a 0-2 win for the Albion and had written down on my pad Dobbie and CMS but have now changed that to Buckers and CMS
I have had THAT feeling all week that this is going to be good

 

[jimhigham]

Yes! Meggy is on the mend. Surely the best of omens.

Also very glad to hear it.

Meggy knows the importance of this game and the positivity emanating throughout Sussex

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Good news on the Meggy front

2-1 to the good guys. Murray, Buckers, Dobbie

Remember - today is THEIR Cup Final.

Heheheh denial mate, you need to get over that.

Yes it is (well on a par with Millwall anyway) I have no problem with that.

However it is yours too so it's just a little bit pathetic pretending it isnt - just count the number of threads you lot start about Palace and Palace players !

Anyway that's your issue. Shaping up for the best Palace Br*ghton game at Selhurst in years.

I will be glued to the BBC live text as me and the missus are going to be wandering around Bath Christmas market.

I'm going for 1-2, Bridcutt and Orlandi to get ours.
