Watford Fc 0-1 Crystal Palace - Play Off Final - 27/5/2013

Sky also said Abdi was Vydra to be fair.

 

??

 

Anyone know what pubs we have been allocated ?

 

I'm really looking forward to this game with equal parts excitment & apprehension. It's going to be a tough game I think, one which both teams are more than capable of winning. From what i've seen of Palace this year they are a bit of a jekyll & hyde team - they certainly shouldnt be underestimated. Hopefully the larger pitch at Wembley will suit our style of play and make it easier to find space for ourselfs since Palace are sure to work hard putting pressure on players.

 

My thoughts exactly .... just enjoy the game and support the team it's all WE can do.

 

Probably doesn't make any difference to either party, easier to get a loan deal through in quickness too if it was on deadline day. Also that way Brighton can dictate that they don't want him to play against them easily too

 

Palace expected line up:
----------Speroni------------
Ward Gabbidon Delaney Moxey
------Jedinak Dikagoi---------
----Zaha Garvan Williams------
--------Wilbraham------------

I think it could be a slow game where both teams are looking to counter. Zaha and Williams pace is hard to match for any defenders, while Vydra will be trying to exploit the lack of pace in Gabbidon and Delaney.

 

Back then, L*ton fans were wondering whether he's good enough/fit enough for them. 6 years later and he's set to play in the League 2 play off final, while they're rotting in the league below.

 

Dobbie won't cause any trouble, I feel certain of that as his loan has finished and will not be able to play in the final

 

I had a feeling our paths would cross again , huge game coming up, obviously i cant wish you luck but i hope you all have a top day.Glad you knocked leicester out, despise them.

 

I wasn't registered then, but I still remember the 800+ thread from last time.

 

Nearly every team in the championship has a couple of great players we always have to be wary of, palace are no different , we have even more players they will be worried about. looking at both teams predicted, I'd have Williams and zaha, and when you look at their equal numbers vydra and abdi, would you swap then? I wouldn't..... But yes, football isn't played in paper so we have to be wary, but lets play our own game.

 

I hope this is the case. Holloway will love that. "How is it right that their loans expire after the final and ours ends before the final? How is that right? What would Sir Alex make of that?"

CAnt miss thisone, tickets booked and i will visit UK and Vic first time and then hit Wembley and final aswell. Finland is with you. Strong feeling for a nice day! Hope to meet as many of you i can!

 

I've just been listening to the Leicester assistant manager who said they really tired in the 2nd half after we kept the ball for a sustained amount of time. They put on another midfielder to combat it but he said our quality shone through. Keep the ball against Palace and they should tire, just make sure we're not losing before then....

 

Brighton play that sought of style though and didn't work for them last time, I would be interested in seeing the 3-0 Brighton win and the 2-0 Palace win and see what both teams did differently if anything.

 

Flights booked for this one.. hopefully will get some tickets when they go on general sale.

If I can't I think I'll head to watford to watch it.. hopefully

Can't wait.. COYH!!

 

Glad Dobbie can't play he is another Nugent who always scores against us.

 

Hope you can sort out a ticket. If you have any problems I'm sure someone on here can help you out.

 

Looking to get over myself, flights are working pretty expensive and the ticket prices don't help for a student, that's even if I'm able to get a decent one as i'll have to wait for general sale.

 

Don't worry about "decent." The fact will be that you are there, amongst your WFC brethren when it happens. That's got to be worth the money, even if you have to squint a bit.

 

Thats my thinking.. don't care where I sit so longs as it in wembley with our fans

 

I may be able to help you getting a ticket if you get any issues.

 

Yeah that's true, just flying over and getting a seat which requires binoculars could be a bit of a bummer, although i would save a few quid on the cost of the ticket! Although someone said a while back that the view isn't bad at all and I'm sure the atmosphere will be alot better than an England friendly!

 

It will be better than an England friendly, which is 2 days later against Ireland. If we lose on the Monday I think I will probably give the Wednesday a miss. Couldn't bring myself to go back there so soon.

 

Booked my flights from Glasgow, now just have to hope I can get a ticket when they go on general sale or i'll just head to somewhere in Watford and watch it.

 

That's disgusting.

 

Looks like I may be traveling to Wembley in an open top bus, with a hog roast after.

This day has the potential to be absolutely amazing.

 

That sounds awesome.

How ? with who ? etc etc ?

 

Will drop you a message (doing a lot of that lately!)

 

I assume said Hog(g) roast for SM, is followed up by potential pond dipping?

 

I bloody well hope so, I've been talking about it so much I'll feel embarrassed if I'm not in the pond at some point should Watford go up.

I'll have to get someone to video it.

 

Must admit I was surprised not to see you in there on Sunday...
