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

[hart's shirt]

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.

Even if we got through today, there's still double the chance that we wouldn't be drawn against them in a Semi-Final than would.

With that in mind, I wouldn't want us to go out today. Can't have them living rent-free in our heads with an unlikely probability.

Another game that shows possesion is is not everything

It's worrying how quick Palace are on the counter. You just can't give this team an inch.

Bollocks. Gird your loins, Mr.

Yes, we need preston to get through then we definitely won't draw them...

PALARSE

They play a simple game, everyone back behind the ball then break with a fast front 3.

This is where I am too.

God. f***. What a horrible result.

Apparently this is Palace's 11th win in their last 14 games. Fair play for that, that's some going.

But as I said in my earlier post, I just can't stand how they play, a feeling exacerbated by the fact they're palace.

This is where I am too.

And me

Man up, ffs.

Back in '83, we were drawn against a 2nd tier Sheffield Wednesday at the Semi-Final stage and avoided top tier Arsenal and Manchester United.

It could happen albeit highly unlikely. But let's concern ourselves with this afternoon first and let the chips fall where they may.

Absolutely buzzing even more now. Bring on the Wembley Palace match up.

I understand logically why people don't want to face them, but by Christ I just don't get it from an emotional perspective. Don't people want to FEEL things in life?

Was really hoping palace would be dumped out on pens

I was hoping for far worse, but we are where we are. Do our bit, today, then bring them on at Wembley, be it a semi or the Final.

 

[pigmanovich]

As always Fulham just didn’t want it enough. Same reason I don’t expect them to qualify for Europe via the league.

I mean, zero bookings? Really?

My life is already shit enough without this. So thanks but no thanks

Do the BBC not know where Crystal Palace is?? (edit - it's the Guardian actually - but the point stands!)
