[Albion] Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Zeberdi]

Getting excited - I’m not too worried about this match - of course it goes without saying it is a match we must win because it’s Palace but in the context of the season, I’m not worried. We can‘t fall below 9th this week and I’ve resigned myself to struggling through the next few weeks and us picking up our form in late January after the internationals (or February at the latest). That still gives us plenty of time to get a decent top 7-8 place this season. End of January and February will see the return of most of our injured players - maybe we’ll do some window shopping and we still have Europe. (But I’ll be really in a bad mood if we loose though )

Enjoy the match everyone

Especially as he was fully acquitted.

The charges were dropped against him because he was asleep in another room. The other 4 were acquitted.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I can't put if off any longer. Off to BTSW's to watch the game, peeking between fingers. S'laters. x

What’s the atmos like at the “stadium”?

Even more ludicrous that Palace fans say what they say then!

Struggling to watch this on an Amtrak train from New Orleans to Chicago. Gutted. I can't actually complain as I'm spending Xmas in New York but why couldn't it have been Burnley away today? Keep the updates coming. I anticipate being a happy fella in the Windy City.

Ugh. The pregame on USA just did a little thing with EPL players wishing us a "Merry Christmas". But about 40% of the players were Palace players (although Enciso was in there).

Now my Christmas is ruined. I'm going to have a miserable Christmas just out of spite.

Strangely relaxed about this . . .feels more like a pre season V Steyning after the last week

Hopefully not a Wier Lewes evening though.

No wifi on the train? Or just garbage wifi?

How tiresome is the whole ‘explain the rivalry’ thing? So patronising after this many years in the Premier League. Even the ‘not a derby’ aspect gets annoying. Just pedantic. Nobody would question whether Norwich v Ipswich is a derby and they’re further apart

 

[Bodian]

Are their changing rooms just a big porta-cabin??

 

[nicko31]

Changing a portacabin so tin pot

 

[WATFORD zero]

We really are at a whole different level to Palace. Be nice to prove it lads

Are their changing rooms just a big porta-cabin??

Is there a massive turd on the floor again?

All I want for Christmas is NO MORE injuries please...

All I want for Christmas is NO MORE injuries please...

I'd rather have the 3 points.... January window opening up shortly...

Our Kit this evening looks like one of the odd leftover subbuteo teams in Fox sports circa 1984

Looks like they're going to get baited into pressing quite regularly. Should lead to chances.
