(And this is about FOOTBALL)

None of us who were there will ever forget our epic fightback in the last ten minutes against Liverpool in 2014. Or Sako's last-minute winner against Stoke, or McArthur's last night (and it could/should have happened against Bournemouth). Or many others I'm sure Palace supporters can recall.

All wonderful. But does anyone agree that it would be so nice, for a change, to take the lead in the first twenty minutes and finish up comfortably winning by a couple of goals? Hull and - I think - Stoke last season were home wins when we never looked in danger, but such games have been few and far between for several years. The commentator on Radio London last night said that we have conceded the first goal in thirteen - or was it fourteen - of our matches this season.

I can do without the excitement(at the moment)
I want to see us stroll a 5-0 win over Man.U.
(just like the days of Rodgers & whittle)

With a couple of decent signings I think we may be ok

 


Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Rogers, old chap. Rogers. I was at Selhurst that day - it was sublime, and if I recall correctly, it led to the departure of the ManU manager (Frank O'Farrell?). Maybe we can seal Moanrinho's fate.

After the stoke game MOTD said that’s the first time Palace have won a game at home in the last minute in 20 years !!
If Benteke scored the penalty against Bournemouth, that would have been 3 last minute winners at home in 3 games.

If Benteke scores that pen the Watford game is totally different.
I really believe the team were suffering a hangover from Saturday, hence the rank first half. Going in on the back of a win would have changed the whole dynamic.
Best stat was our 1st shot on target was 88 mins 13 seconds (Zaha), 2nd 88 mins 15 seconds(Sako), 3rd 88 mins 18 seconds(Sako). Guessed the seconds cos I can't remember them exactly, but you get the gist.

I want us to win and do it early and easy. None of this last minute heart attack inducing bollocks.

It's a genuine problem for my heart at the moment. Luckily being in my twenties and (touch wood) healthy I can cope right now but I hope they don't keep me on edge like this for the next 40 years!

It's a massive high when we do something like Tuesday night but I liken it to the differences in true happiness and being high because of a drug or alcohol.

It was absolute torture watching that the other night, I couldn't sit still, I wouldn't of been able to hold a conversation or have a drink, when Sako scored all I could was scream at them for celebrating when we needed a win rather than celebrate with them. When McCarthur scored it was an immediate high followed by another 4 minutes of high anxiety.

Great feeling at the end but not the way to really enjoy a football match. a 4-0, for example, when your team is playing great football, you get to see a host of different goals, tricks and movement, plus you can have a beer with your mates, a dance with the fans and go home/pub happy and relaxed rather than feeling like you immediately need 15 hours sleep is the way for me.

comeback win. all day long.

I remember when Wright was coming through and he earned us several.

They are so psychologically uplifting. they say: this team has spirit (much of it running through the boots of a certain W. Zaha esq.)

A true comeback win has us losing at half time. better still we bang in two late goals and the whole ground is screaming 'you're not singing anymore'.

Heaven.

Ps. not saying no to a 5-0 romp, natch


 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
