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

Gonna have to fix up that old bandwagon that last got a run out 3 years ago .

Sure there's life enough in the old thing for one last hoorah .

 

Sounds more like the opening game to the Championship.

 

Yes......I've only just thought about that. That would be absolutely bonkers!!

 

We've got a lot of new songs to shhh now

 

my half & half palace scarf has turned out to be the best investment ever

 

1995 Charity shield was Blackburn vs Everton

1978 Charity shield was Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich

 

1909 Charity Shield was Newcastle vs Northampton Town.

1911.. Manchester United vs Swindon Town.

1927.. Cardiff vs Corinthian.

 

Newcastle in the Charity Shield!?!? .... implausible!

 

Latest odds:-

11/4 Everton
4/1 Palace; Watford
5/1 West Ham; Man U

 

Two other unexpected line ups, but Blackburn were among the favourites to win the PL and Everton had a cup history.

Agree with you about 78!

 

What day do we think ours will be? Murphy's law has struck and I'm meant to be at a stag do for a palace fan on the Saturday

 

This will be our 3rd time of playing Palace this season.

Palace have played over teams 3 times this season, we have not until the semi.

3 is the magic number.

We used to have a 3 sided ground.

 

I have so far sent Mr IBB 18 texts with COYH and 8 hornets.

I plan to do this until the match.

Does anyone have the phone numbers of the other 35,000 Palace fans?

 

My £10 on us at 80/1 pre 3rd round looks nice now.

 

When are tickets likely to go on sale and do I have a realistic chance of getting one as a Season Ticket holder attending home games only?

 

Dunno and yes

 

Its solely a decision for the TV companies I believe and whoever has first pick. We're the lesser of the two semis in the eyes of the media so if it's BBC first pick no doubt they will want Everton v Wham/Man U on the Saturday tea time slot. Which will leave us with Sunday.

Probably no rush so a couple of weeks time I'd guess. And yes you have a 100% chance.

 

I would say that BTsports have the first pick and that's not the Saturday match .

 

We'll be the Saturday game if BT get the pick. All of the 3 remaining clubs are bigger than little ol' Waffud and little ol' Palarce.

 

BT sport have whatever games on the sunday , dont they?

 

Well they seem very confident down in Saaaaf Laanden

If we play on Saturday will it be an early evening kick off or (please no) lunchtime?

 

Hardly surprising. I bet everyone wanted to draw us!

Whoever wins our semi there will be at least one unfancied team in the final!

 

Yeah I knew TV companies decided. I just wasn't sure which the glamour slot was. Last year it was Reading vs Arsenal on Saturday and villa vs Liverpool Sunday. To me that implied West Ham / Man U vs Everton would be on the Sunday.

 

Don't blame them. Liked the comment about us being the 'lowest ranked team' still in the competition. They must have a different version of the PL table south of the river.

Think it will be 5.20pm.

 

Pah!!! I'll see you and raise you a yellow "Crystal Palace vs Udinese 'B' t-shirt".

 

If you took our posts and their posts, blanked out the club names and put them on a generic word doc, you wouldn't be able to tell their posts from ours.

Both teams are equally as happy and confident as it's the most winnable game for each of us.

 

Looks like something from Nath's dungeon.

 

The London Marathon is on the 24th

 

Everyone who wants a ticket for this match will get one.

 

Are there any plans for the 1881 to get an area sorted for Wembley for fans who want to sing?

 

Bugger! I'll have to pull out. Months of training on the sofa and in the boozer all for nothing

 

I know and I'm running in it!
I'm hoping for a Saturday kick off!!

 

Roy Moore put out a tweet that they were in communcation with the club and details would be announced once ticket information was released.
