After completing this yearÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôs first double We donÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôt want to let ourselves down, And be doubled ourselves by Palace When we visit old London town, And although that may seem unlikely IÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôm sure that PL is aware, That in this league strange things can happen Especially if we donÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôt prepare, But if we do, then three points down there Should really be well within reach, TheyÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôre one more of that group of strugglers Whose defences we ought to breach, Although of the twenty-six points scored The twenty have come when at home, So weÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôll need to respect them duly As theyÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôve just got Vaughan back on loan, And Selhurst Park is, as we all know A friendly and jolly old place, But not if the Eagles are flapping And desperate to keep apace, With Burley now just part of history TheyÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôve turned to a Palace old boy, To try and restore fame and fortune Where he played with success and joy, But as we know ourselves that idea Does not always work for the best, Despite their undoubted endeavour They sometimes just donÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôt pass the test, Though I liked Freedman as a player So I hope he has some success, As new boss for that flock of Eagles As soon as weÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôve all left their nest, And although our date at the Palace Will not be for the Honours List, Those three points, if we can take ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôem Are a royal treat, not to be missed.

* x 5 from me! Palace got lucky when they beat us the first time, and these 3 points are necessary against a lowish team if we are serious about auto promotion!
I've been to Palace 5 times too and I have never seen us win there! We often get some form of bad luck against Palace. I won't forget Johnson diving to win a penalty...Grrr
Very good RBf. Me neither F1. If I remember correctly he recreated that dive as a goal celebration after scoring at CR, and right in front of the City Stand too. I think it was the first game of our Prem season.
I fancy the tide will turn tomorrow, PL and his team have already laid plenty of ghosts to rest, so why not one more against another bogey team. 2-0 City!! OTBC
