I’ve taken a little insurance out I’ve laid Man City 90 mins so Man City to win in e,t or pens would be bloody fantastic
No if anything I’ve got more distain for themAnyone still thinking this rivalry is now not worth bothering about?
Those were the days. Whole day in front of tele.I'm consoling myself that it's not a *real* cup final unless Grandstand starts at 10:30, there's A Question of Sport special, and we get to see grainy helicopter coverage of buses leaving hotels.
I was getting a bit Meh about it until they finished above us last season and then schooled us twice this season, quite how that happened at Selhurst is still a mystery to meNo if anything I’ve got more distain for them
Am I f***.Anyone still thinking this rivalry is not worth bothering about?
and…hoping for a Palace win today?
I can remember the Alan Sunderland final but the Brighton 83 final I was just the right age to appreciate the day and Steve Foster‘s headband, funny what you remember about specific days.Those were the days. Whole day in front of tele.
Grealish (RIP) wore the headband on the Saturday final because Fozzy had been booked a few games before the final and was banned. He desperately tried to get himself sent off by getting a second booking as that meant the ban started later but the ref was having none of it. He did lead the team out in the replay though wearing the headband.I can remember the Alan Sunderland final but the Brighton 83 final I was just the right age to appreciate the day and Steve Foster‘s headband, funny what you remember about specific days.
Great knowledge SSB, didn’t realise Foster didn’t play, I can just remember him standing out because of the headband, just like Kilcline with the long hair looking like a lunatic it’s a thing that is etched.Grealish (RIP) wore the headband on the Saturday final because Fozzy had been booked a few games before the final and was banned.

This is either a fishing trip, you're a Palace spy or you need to give your head wobble. At the very least our season is over if they win but worse they get into Europe and win a major trophy before we do...so no I want them to get thrashed.Anyone still thinking this rivalry is not worth bothering about?

If I remember correctly, once Fozzy knew he had been booked and would be banned from the Saturday final, he caught the ball to try and get a second booking but the ref still wouldn’t send him off.
Yep, Palace spy it isThis is either a fishing trip, you're a Palace spy or you need to give your head wobble. At the very least our season is over if they win but worse they get into Europe and win a major trophy before we do...so no I want them to get thrashed.
It’s as you say, certain things just stick in the mind. I can still hear Brian Clough after Gary Williams scored a wonder goal against Peter Shilton effectively saying it was a fluke because “ nobody beats Peter Shilton from 25 yards”! Happy memories..

Nope, made me refocus on how much I dispise them. Especially their knock off Barcelona strip and their spotty teenage 'ultras' wearing balaclavas. Oh and who can forget their drum that apparently means they are best home fans in the league.Anyone still thinking this rivalry is not worth bothering about?

As there's no real football to speak of today, here's some coverage of the pre-game entertainment before the Coventry v Spurs 1987 FA Cup Final.
Crodo would love this - Ray Winstone, Steve Cram, Tarby, Adam Woodyatt, Dennis Waterman, Daley Thompson, Nick Owen, David Frost, Steve Davis...
Ronnie Corbett with the post-match presentations.
And Saint and Greavsie on co-commentary.
Brian loved Shilts, he was great in nets for us, I’m surprised Brian didn’t blame Martin O’Neill for conceding the goal, he blamed him for everything elsePeter Shilton
