Crystal Palace 1-0 Watford FC - 18/03/2017

Hopefully Batman returns. Success gets more than 15 minutes, etc etc.

Local architecture:



Oliver Grove, the world's oldest tranny, yesterday.

 

Are Palace still sh1te at defending set pieces ?

Might see Okaka and Deeney up top again .

 

Highgrade the first name on the teamsheet.

 

Don't be daft. This is how it will go:

Lineup - we will play 4-4-2 with Kaboul at right back (WHY GOD WHY!!!!!). We'll have Capoue on the right wing (WHY GOD WHY!!!!!) and Niang on the left (fine by me).

First 5 mins we will attack Palace, look very dangerous and grab a decent goal through playing it out wide and Niang whipping a delicious ball into Deeney who makes no mistake.

At 7 minutes Walter runs over to the touchline, waves his hands like all Italians do. It appears that nobody knows what he's saying, but after 10 minutes, our players get the message loud and clear after our assistant manager finally manages to stop chewing his gum, to yell out parka de busa!

The next 60 minutes, we sit back and try to hold onto the lead. Every now and then we'll hoof it to Deeney and Okaka. Niang, who has been asked to protect Holebas as much as possible, ends up playing in a deeper position than Holebas, who will be most likely moaning at the ref or wandering up field.

Zaha will notice that we're playing Kaboul at right back and swap wings. He'll destroy him, completely and utterly destroy him. Kaboul brings down Zaha in the box, Palace score their penalty just before half time and our fans will inevitably cry about Zaha diving for the next 10 mins.

80th minute, after being cramped in our half, Palace get a second as Cabaye's corner is crossed in and headed out by Deeney. As all of our players are behind the penalty spot, a Palace player controls Deeney's clearance and smacks it top bins.

Then, Walter will bring on Zuniga or Doucoure for Niang. And then finally, in the 88th and 93rd minute respectively we'll see Amrabat and Success come on. They'll have one touch each, but it wont be enough and we lose 2-1.

Walter will explain that neither Amrabat and Success are ready, and somehow, in that thirty second spell on the pitch, Success picked up an injury.

As I walk out of the ground, I see five or six of our fans with black eyes, bloodied noses etc. When I ask them what happened, they say to me two words... "Oliver Grove".

Gonna be a good day out.

 

A totally inspired o.p. I need to pull myself together here ... I should be 'going right up' Oliver Grove around 14.15 ... Could delay until 14.30 if it's worthwhile though ...

 

I've got a bad feeling about this one for some reason. I'd be very happy with a point.

 

Can we do anything with Elvis Costello - Oliver (Grove's) Army Is Here To Stay?

 

If highgrade gets a damn good kicking in Oliver Grove will he ask for more?

 

I've got a good feeling about it. We'll get three and the ruminant will choke on its cud ...

 

Would

 

.

Did

 

Haven't (yet).

 

Surely Godfather has.

 

With that diamond necklace she bears more than a passing resemble to HRH aka the real queen.
Maybe on a bad day , when she's drunk too much gin and had locked herself out of the palace , so had to sleep in the bushes

 

His own Grandad? I know he's a crazy f**ker but I think even incest is a bit far for him.

 

:biggrin:

Great post

 

Two words:

Zaha. Penalty.

That is all.

 

Looks as good a place for a gentlemen's duel as anywhere:

 

This game has 1-1 written all over it.

 

It's quite comical already knowing how **** this game will be and having very little expectation to see anything remotely better than League 2 standard football. I am looking forward to seeing Zaha cry though.

 

That was a highlight of last seasons match there!

 

Hopefully will will be plenty of Harry the Hornet chants.

 

Can't wait to look at all the steel girders.

 

I've predicted a 1-4 win for us in this game. I reckon we'll do them easy.

After weathering a little early pressure, we go 1-0 up with a Niang rocket from outside the box.

Palace push hard for the equaliser but get caught on the break just before HT and Deeney adds a second. The stripey Nigels get a thorough booing as they leave the field for the break.

Only 3 mins gone of the second and a terrible keeper error as Capoue intercepts a pass and slides it through to Big Boy Troy who smacks in number three, putting the result beyond doubt.

Palace fans are apoplectic and start getting on the backs of their players. They manage to pull one back through a close range header from a set piece with only a couple of mins to go, but almost straight for the KO, Success (an 82nd minute sub) heads in our fourth and that's how it ends.

Get your bets on now.

 

Walts last game

 

What's your ?

 

Palace will be up for it and we usually crumble against teams who are willing to fight. Expecting a loss but wouldn't be surprised with a 1-2 win as I have no idea what team will turn up.

 

Yes, I agree, we may lose this, then again we might win, potentially even draw.

 

twice

 

I have had a recurring nightmare for the last week.

Zaha tormenting whichever centre half "Nutty Walt"* selects and hurling himself to the floor for the inevitable penalty.

Cue the chant "he's just too good for you". I reply with "he's off to Tottenham" and am escorted from the ground by the stewards, who all look like the creature above!

I am not looking forward to this at all!

* Thanks to Bob Newhart.

 

What are you on about this time?

 

Wemberlee is away, innit?

 

Would love for Success to start and do to them what Zaha always does to us - can't see it though. We really deserved to lose to them earlier in the season and I think they'll get a lot of joy on the wings, especially if Walter is stupid enough to put Kaboul at right back against Zaha. In fact, I wouldn't trust anyone he puts at RB to be able to deal with him.

It is easy to forget that we went to Palace under very similar circumstances and won last season. I think people (me included) always expect to lose against Palace because of the two Wembley games. I just have so little faith in the current team of winning a game like this.

Reckon we'll lose but beat Sunderland in a couple of weeks to ease any worries of relegation.
