No thread for this yet? A nice distraction from the league, and who knows we may yet end up emulating one of Wigan or Brum. Dunno if Orsic can play if completed tomorrow? Still loads of tickets left for this which surprises me a bit. Tempted to go if any trains are running. UTFS

Libby, the combination of a predicted train strike, our inability to play for periods of longer than five minutes at a time, and the number of 'restricted view' seats provided to away fans at Selhurst Park, will probably mean that this game is one too many for even the most battle-hardened Saints fan. Maybe the players will perform better if Saints fans don't turn up, rather like the games in empty stadia during Covid lockdowns.
The True 100%ers will go whatever the situation, gone are the days of Dellhurst Park or Stamford Bridge, but I am sure our loyal followers will be giving everything they have got, they are the ones that deserve success. Sadly, I am past my prime, the desire is still there, but the ability has long gone.
Genuinely couldn’t give a **** about this game. Fair play to anyone that braved the train strikes. Anyone that goes up is an absolute hero.
A win could give the team some confidence, but that seems unlikely. Please no 3 at the back. I’d play McCarthy KWP DCC Sally Perraud JWP Lavia SArmstrong Elyonoussi Edozie Adams
Bazunu DCC KWP Perraud JWP CAdams Moi Stuey Adarma Lavia Edozie They certainly won't be expecting the old 1-2-7 formation.
Not really, I’ve accepted that we’re likely to go down and don’t care. Pointless going on a cup run, I don’t even think with extra games Jones will improve.
This will be my last away/cup game* until Jones has gone. He plays an extremely unattractive style of football and it makes us even more **** and I refuse to shell out any more money. *Unless we somehow reach Wembley then I reserve the right to change my mind!
Your post just reminded me of something: Do you remember when we felt Puel wasn’t right because he played boring football? Hahahahaha that sounds so funny now
I have a ticket for this, bought before Christmas. Still feeling rough from Covid, and might still be infectious, but if I wasn't, I'd go. Palace aren't great, and we were unlucky last time we played there.
