[Albion] Palace game are you shitting yourself?

[Bry Nylon]

Palace had 4 shots on target on Tuesday night. If they can muster that sort of number again on Saturday then we're going to need to score at least 5 to win.

On that basis, should be a good game for those that are going.

 

[spoonie]

No.

Whatever happens on Saturday (and I think we'll win) we are MILES ahead of them in every aspect.

Chairman/Owner
CEO
Manager
Ground (apart from their new stand of course...)
Squad
League position
Still in FA Cup

Plus the fact we are playing in Europe, enjoying some fabulous trips and cities - something they can only dream about.

Add in the fact that their American owners want out - our future is assured - their's is an uncertain mess.

Always think our Kits are a bit below par against theirs over the years, plus that new Stand at Selhurst which is very impressive indeed.

 

[Happy Exile]

More nervous about when we play Chelsea next. The few Palace fans I know are reasonable human beings who enjoy the rivalry, but the Chelsea fans of my acquaintance are nauseous Roman-era glory hunters who literally treat playing us like their cup final and can't get enough of gloating if they win.

 

[Guinness Boy]

It'll almost certainly be 1-1.

While I don't like losing to them and it will ruin my weekend if we do, over the course of the season I'm pretty sure we'll do far better than them. We're already further than them in the FA Cup (and Europe ) and I expect us to beat them in the league too.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Defiantly not! We have don't let it bouncebackability..............

 

[Jeremiah]

It will be the same as most Albion home games - nervy and close. But I don't think we will lose to them as we are a better team.

 

[golddene]

Don't be Scilly.

Is that the Scilly Aisle

 

[Simster]

Not really. My Albion mojo has taken a pummeling since the Luton game, so I find myself not that bothered.

That might change come Saturday of course.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We all need a laugh

It's about now that anyone you meet who knows you support Albion starts telling you:

"well of course Brighton V Palace is not a proper derby; how can it be a derby when you're 50 miles apart?"

To which I normally reply: "we don't claim it is a derby, it's an intense rivalry". Either that or "oh do f**k off..."

 

[Hamilton]

Il kick off with a yes if they have olise and eze fit and our current lightweight team availability and no midfield signing

I never shit myself at the thought of playing anyone, especially not that lot from Surrey.

 

[Hotchilidog]

In answer to the OP, my answer is no. I am not sh*tting myself.

That said the utter brainfart/blackout performance on Tuesday has made me more anxious about the actual game. I have been buzzing for this game for ages and I see no reason to dim my enthusiasm for it, even if I may have to moderate my previously high expectations for a convincing victory.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

It's not Surrey, it's London Burrow of Croydon

 

[Albion my Albion]

We all need a laugh

Only one reaction to this.....................................................................Zahahahahahahazahahahaha!!!!!

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

As shite as the Luton result was, I think it could probably be the last thing that Palace wanted 4 days before they play us.
We need a reaction, I've a feeling we'll get one

 

[Pete Skinner]

No. Wounded Seagulls and all that.

Definitely squeaky bum time - especially as they’ve just signed Adam Wharton. I’ve seen him a few times for Blackburn and he’s decent.

 

[Bodian]

And hopefully restore our goal difference to what it was last weekend.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Up and down, I have faith, but I'm not feeling confident, Tuesday has bought me back down to earth and this window has pissed me off. Just don't get it.

 

[Insel affe]

i know what you mean, but we do not know the inner workings and some players must be mighty close to return.
that’s the hope that I’m clinging to anyways.

Ferguson & Pedro two a piece Saturday, I’m telling ya…
