I was hoping for an away draw against a team we wouldn't normally play as it would have been a new ground to visit
I just had a thought ... Man U had better be careful they don't get dumped out of all the competitions pretty quickly. Palace beat them in the CC, possibility of not making it through the group stage of the CL, Man City in the 3rd round of the FA Cup ...
That was the first game i ever took my daughter to.Did i ever tell you i used to live on the same street as Mickey Thomas ?
I think the squad is more realistic now than when Fab was with us. I think in them days we had the illusion that we only had to turn up and collect the points. Now the players know they have to work and earn them. and if they dont work they get bitten on the arse . a valuable lesson learned. I think we are in a better place to play leeds than we were last time.
Also last year we never really gave our youngsters a game in the FA Cup. It was mainly a load of reserve players who showed how much it meant to them (not very much). Hopefully this year the likes of AOC,Coquelin,Frimpong and Miquel feature and play with the same desire they showed against Man City.
