Crystal Palace 2-1 Watford FC - FA Cup Semi-Final

The Palace fans reacted like they'd been given a bye to the final. We'll have to wipe that smug smile of their faces.

 

This.

 

Great now my remote's broken and Fake Britain is stuck on the tv...

 

Palace are ****e, we'll destroy them

 

I think Palace fans are just more optimistic and generally better than ours.

 

So we play at the new Wembley stadium for the second time.

Against Palarse both times.

Small world isn't it.

 

They wanted it, we wanted it, terrific draw!!

However its does depend whoever wants it more on the day!

I have trust in the pedigree of QSF in cup competitions over Pardew's experience.

Winner of the Europa League vs Winner of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy

 

I hope he starts Gueds, he deserves it but more importantly it would be like having 12 players on the pitch.

 

A local derby against our most bitter rivals, what more could you want?!

 

Watford & Palace U21's are playing each other as the draw is made. Spooky.

 

Let's hope us fans do better than last time we played them at Wembley!

 

Wasn't it Nyom who fouled Zaha to give away the penalty at the Vic this season?

 

Perfect draw for both sides really.

 

Perfect. Everton in the final please with a Guedioura rocket up the ar.se awaiting the Toffees.

 

‘I want Crystal Palace in FA Cup semi-final,’ says Adlene Guedioura

He got his wish.

 

Anyone know when the days for the games will be announced?

 

Imagine if we played them in the final as well. That would be mental.

 

Almost. Zaha conned the ref into thinking Nyom had fouled him. Not quite the same thing.

 

Sorry to say this, but the day trippers amongst our fans need to get their acts together and consider if it's really a good day out for three year olds.

 

120th minute. Scores locked at 0-0. Zaha picks up the ball and jinks his way into the penalty area. Paredes sticks out a leg and Zaha leaps over it. Penalty given. Up steps Adebayor and slots it past a despairing Pantilimon to book Palace's place in the final. Ref blows the final whistle as Palace celebrate. Glad All Over reverberates around Wembley.

 

2013 started and finished our season with a match against the same club..

2016...it remains very possible too!

 

At least we didn't get thrashed.

 

Is Michael Oliver doing the semi then?

 

Certainly will have the better atmosphere of the two semi-finals.

 

Hope the club and the 1881 get together to ensure that the tickets go to proper fans not the po-faced killjoys, day trippers, families with toddlers and packed lunches, people on a sponsored silence etc who will crawl out of the woodwork for this one

 

Good draw, we're more than capable. If we can make it to the final, form and class go out the window and it's a fight, which we're quite good at.

 

I look forward to hostilities between Watford and Palace being resumed.

Anyone got the egg and chips photo?

 

Or, Pantilimon pulls off a double save from the penalty, Watford race up the other end and Troy smashes the ball in the back of their net?

 

Adebayor scoring the winner after we rejected signing him is the ultimate nightmare isn't it

I imagine Cabaye would take the penalty though?

 

Agreed. 4-5000 balding middle aged men will suffice.

 

Toddlers are future fans, I say let them come.

People with packed lunches are disgusting though. The Bar stewards are trying to deprive the FA of much needed funds by not having to buy food in the stadium. Ban the lot of them.

 

Without that experience, would the 1881 support have been born?

 

I don't think You can take food into Wembley so packed lunches will have to be eaten outside.
