If we're offered a draw, I would rip their hand off. We should 'expect' to get beaten - anything else is a massive result. They are much better than we are.
Of course, I hope you're right I see it that we are (slightly) overachieving and they are (significantly) underachieving - and they're still 16 points better off then we are. We can all keep our fingers x'ed but it will take something special (a flash of palace class / defense & Jules playing a blinder / Manc strikers having an off day) for us to get something out of this.

And if we manage a point I will be chuffed - but not shocked. If we manage 3 I'll be edging towards shocked though. adrian b  Landrindod, Wales 18 Feb 14 1.54pm |

Isn't it strange how insecure these glory chasing fans are. Player for player Palace shouldn't have a chance, but this lack of assuredness must be played on. Many years ago I stood in the Holmesdale against Liverpool, among the scousers. They were forever winning things and Palace were the team of the moment, but still, nothing like 'Pool. The scousers were constantly saying things like 'oh no, Palace will surely score now' or we've 'ad it now', even when they were in the lead. And when Palace bought the quickly fading Ian Walsh on, they almost fainted in anticipation of the imminent onslaught. Funny thing confidence.

Excellent point Adrian, and as Nick Hornby once said - the natural state of a football fan is pessimism, no matter what the score ! The early exchanges will be key I think - whatever confidence they have will be fragile and if we can frustrate them then get after them that means we could get something from it. But if they score early and get the belief going they have players that can quickly take the game away from us - Mata is the best player in the PL for me and VP is one of the best strikers. I'll be happy if we give them a good game and think we could even sneak a win but right now I'd bite your hand off for a point.
You'll be forever in my family's memories and it was an honor and privilege to play and lead in the red and blue |
