Absolutely nothing creative going forward on the ball and 2 strikers who can't even be bothered off the ball, I honestly think Tottenham could rest a player, play with 10 men and still beat us comfortably.

I hope we at least try and play some football. After a decade up here my tolerance for watching other sides control the game at Selhurst while we sit back and wait for them to pick holes in us is drained. We should be a proud club that doesn't let these sides just make themselves comfortable on our pitch

Anyway, 2-0 Spurs...

Alas Roy's previous history in games against Spurs and the like has us meekly defending, waiting for them to take the game to us, hoping for some miserly scraps that may or may not fall our way. Roy doesn't change, it's what he does. I saw the highlights of their game against Fulham, they press and get the ball forward sharpish, not to dissimilar to Newcastle. Our full backs will have a torrid time of it again I suspect.

I reckon Roy will play Franca who will score a hat trick just for fun. Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, Palace 1, Spurs 2 (winner in the 4th minute of added time).

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I so resent Parish not buying a decent striker. The team is unbalanced. That means too many opposition presses in our defensive third. That means Tyrick Mitchell doing too much. I very negatively predict he pulls a hamstring. On the other note, tuning into my more positive side, Palace being Palace I would not be surprised if the very same team as last week comes out and plays like Barcelona and win 3-0.

For some reason I am confident we will get a result tonight. I just have that magical feeling. I had it against newcastle too.....
