The Battle of Crystal Palace is coming. I'd follow the Boss Man into that with all my pent up anger.

This will be water off a ducks back for EM.

He goes to the stadiums of Panathinaikos and PAOK and he walks around the pitch with his entourage as if they own the place.

He sure ain't going to be bothered or intimidated by a bunch of chavs from Croyden dressed up in black trying to look hard.

I would love to see us turn them over on Sunday. I think we may see a red or 2. We need to play our game and rile them up, they will snap. Bring it on.

I was due to be flying to Seychelles while this game was being played.
That trip has just been postponed.
I have to, say I'm delighted.
Seychelles can wait.

They have some real quality in Eze and Wharton, our midfield needs to be up for it.

Don’t forget the preliminary hate watch at 8pm on Thursday! Fredrikstad are currently 8th in the Norwegian league having played 18 matches winning 7 of them scoring 23 and conceding 20, they’ve only lost 1 in their last 5 in the league and that was to bodo/glint who along with Viking are walking the league

I'm not the biggest fan of this media created rivally with Palace it's all a bit weird. Since when was football admin the new Brexit  :Funny:.

Tough game away at Palace and I anticipate a much bigger challenge than Brentford. 

There's so much to factor in that we don't know yet, like the future of Eze and what kinda team they put out on Thursday.

Id take a draw right now but this is definitely a game we can win. Proper midfield battle with Anderson and Wharton.

There has historically been a rivalry in the 90s, the 93-94 season in particular when they beat us to the Div 1 title. they've just been a bit better than us for a few years after that...

I'd take a draw. I'm actually really really scared of bumping into hundreds of angry Palace fans in matching T-Shirts incase they all clap loudly at me. Especially after away days at places all over the Country in 80s...not sure how I will cope with a few matching Nigels..

Seriously though, Big test on the pitch. Need a repeat performance of first half intensity, but Palace could (hopefully) be in transition without Guerhi and Eze....

Eze to Spurs, agreement in principle.

Great news for us this coming weekend.
