Our Date At The Palace

After completing this year´s first double
We don´t want to let ourselves down,
And be doubled ourselves by Palace
When we visit old London town,
And although that may seem unlikely
I´m sure that PL is aware,
That in this league strange things can happen
Especially if we don´t prepare,
But if we do, then three points down there
Should really be well within reach,
They´re 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 we´ll need to respect them duly
As they´ve 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
They´ve 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 don´t 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 we´ve 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 ´em
Are a royal treat, not to be missed. OTBC

 

Great stuff as usual, RBF lets see what I can award you over here!

 

* 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

 

Let's not forget that PL is The Messiah and has the Midas touch. We will win tomorrow - simples !
