[Albion] Who would you like the 4 semi-finalists to be?

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Lots to agree with here, except I think you underestimate how good they are defensively. How many teams go to Craven Cottage and not give the home team a sniff?

Yeah, that's why I said I'm not sure of shot was the right word. They're good at what they do but what they do is shit, if that makes sense?

I guess what I mean is I find their style of play and tactics shit but they're good and very effective at it. It's more or less how they've played their entire time in the premier league.

Palace are playing some sublime football at the moment. Strong defensively and very cutting in transition. The rivalry to me is just pantomime. These are a good team.

Somehow, they always seem to find their best form at the back end of the season....the swines.

I can't agree there Eeyore. That is not my definition of sublime. Eze's goal was quality but that was an individual moment of quality not sublime team football. Once they got two up and Fulham got rattled they played a bit better. But sublime football, nah.

That's why I always encourage folk to hold back on the 'Palace fans worst fear' thread. Last year being an example.

Don’t be silly

I'll be as silly as I want to be!

They get amazing good fortune. Should have been down to 10 men , Wharton clear 2 yellows , and at least a goal down before Eze scored.

 

[El Turi]

Palace thrive on having minimal possession, sitting back and counter attacking. It would be interesting if they played a team who didn’t play to their strengths.

 

[birthofanorange]

Fulham won't give this up easily....

 

[pasty]

Can't see Fulham getting anything out of this at all. They have been really really poor, and Palace look extremely comfortable.

 

[Zeberdi]

I’ll be shot down for this but I’d rather go out today than be knocked out by Palace in a semi - I would not want them to have the satisfaction. That would be very difficult to stomach.

No shooting down from me. Completely agree.

 

[Bodian]

I thought kicking a player when going for the ball in the area was an immediate penalty now? Or is that just if we do it?

 

[seagull_special]

I want the us in and palace out. Then the two lowest ranked sides from the other quarter finals so Preston and Bournemouth.

Then seeing as you're asking, I'd like us v preston in the semi and us against Fulham in the final.

Us to win, obviously.

Then going on to win the Europa league next year. Unless we've qualified for the champions league, where, to be fair, I'll accept runner up rather than winning the whole thing.

That’s the spirit

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Traore really is bloody rubbish

 

[jimhigham]

Really beginning to worry about the possibility of Palace pissing on our chips and qualifying for Europe by winning this damn thing.

 

[birthofanorange]

Shite....

 

[pasty]

Game over 0-3

Shit f*** bollox

 

[birthofanorange]

Really beginning to worry about the possibility of Palace pissing on our chips and qualifying for Europe by winning this damn thing.

Ain't gonna happen.

 

[Bodian]

I'm going to stop watching and go and do some cleaning now. For some reason, I'm looking forward to later on a little less now.

Palace romp home
