[Albion] Palace: would you take a point now?

[DFL JCL]

No way on earth would i. A team 6 points worse than us this season, at home. Not to mention Palace.

 

[Easy 10]

Does he ever tackle people?

Nope. But 2 dives will do it.

He's certainly got THAT in his locker.

 

[Hugo Rune]

No.

Stuff the draw.

We should be aiming to beat anyone below us, especially at home.

There are a number of players who need to put in a performance for us, they’ll be desperate to prove to CH that they are number one in their positions.

Could tonight’s hero be one of:

Groß (we’ve not seen his brilliant best this season)
Izquierdo (ditto)
Pröpper (I’d love to see him score!)
Locadia (A man with something to prove)
Andone (His first Amex goal would be lovely)

 

[withdeanwombat]

2-1.
So no.

 

[Titanic]

Nope. But 2 dives will do it.

He's certainly got THAT in his locker.

Better still... booked for diving when it wasn't, and then booked again for the wide-eyed ranting protest.

 

[Glawstergull]

Yes I would. Its all about survival.

I think it will be a draw and they are showing signs of improvement.

 

[Easy 10]

Better still... booked for diving when it wasn't, and then booked again for the wide-eyed ranting protest.

 

[wunt be druv]

Might as well,we probably benefit from it more than they do.Saves the agony of risking losing to that lot.

 

[Ecosse Exile]

I'm expecting a loss, we haven't been playing well, they have, however we are getting results, they're not, but i just feel Zaha and Townsend will rip us a new one.

So would i be happy with a point? Yeah probably.

But... Would i take a point right now if it was offered?

Not a bloody chance, we are 11th in the table DESPITE our performances, at some point we are going to click, here's hoping that is tonight, cos this is Palace, how good would it feel to absolutely smash them, our biggest win ever in the top flight, send them back up the road with their tales firmly between their legs and such a loss of confidence that they go spiraling into the bottom 3 and into the new year wondering where their next win is coming from.

They gloated for years while we played catch up, the turn-around has already started, we are better than them in every aspect of the football club, time to show it on the pitch too.

Come on you super seagulls.

 

[Triggaaar]

Palace: would you take a point now?

Personally I think it's a little out of order to make us even think about it.

 

[blue-shifted]

Just to ask this question betrays the inferiority complex we still have as a club.

We're above them
We're at home
We're strong at home
We get 3 points for a win

I hope the attitude behind some of meek, lily livered comments I've read on here over the last day or two doesn't transmit to the players when the going gets tough tonight. Because it will get tough and we will need mental strength to get through tonight with a win

 

[Dougie]

 

[Hamilton]

No.

Not because of the rivalry, but because we have to look at this as 3 points to take. This is a team below us in the table.

 

[NooBHA]

Nope

I always say The aim should be 3points at home and Not losing away.

 

[seagull_special]

I want 3 points so badly it hurts but a draw would mean that Palace hadn’t beaten us and maintain a six point gap. So would reluctantly settle for a point!

 

[schmunk]

We should be beating clubs like this.

 

[Rogero]

I really do not like playing them .They are paying huge money so I must admit that they very good players and I would love to beat them.

 

[amexer]

With points so important if we are leading or drawing with 20 mins to go happy for game to end. I do enjoy it but I am a nervous wreck at all our games. Cant say I have enjoyed last 20 mins of a game for a long time. Look forward to the day we are 3 .0 up

 

[Hotchilidog]

As always I would not say not to a point if that were the eventual outcome, but I will not sacrifice the prospect of victory to guarantee it. So it's a NO from me.

 

[grubbyhands]

No.

Not because of the rivalry, but because we have to look at this as 3 points to take. This is a team below us in the table.

Exactly this.
