Watford FC 2-1 Crystal Palace - 16/03/2019 - FA Cup Sixth Round

I saw a poll on Twitter. Which was your favourite win against Palace this season?

A 2-1
B 2-1
C 2-1

 

Looked pretty full for once.

 

A lot of unoccupied seats in the Palarse end.

The stewards had to net them off.

 

How were the dinosaurs?

 

Tbf, the 12.15pm ko is a bit early for the love option.

 

You'd of thought they'd be able to sell for their biggest game of the season

 

I have to say the move to segregate the Palace fans was a top move by the club. Their atmosphere was no better than other away support at the Vic and splitting them down the middle helped achieve that.

A decent performance from us...with the ‘know how’ to beat a side when it’s tight.

Good work from the 1881, but a shout out the 1881 who were still in RS5 who helped unify the atmosphere. At time though there were multiple chants going on but let’s not complain about that.

Hopefully the 1881 get the section behind the goal at Wembley

 

I can’t imagine most Palarse fans would want to sit next to their silly ultras any more than we would.

 

Just watched disgraceful match between Man City and Swansea. Sterling dived and Aguero was offside. Why not just give Guardiola the FA Cup and save us all a lot of bother?

 

I thought Deeney really imposed his character on the final minutes of the game.

He also intervened a few times with the ref to defuse the atmosphere.

First rate leadership.

 

Just enjoy it m8. We live in an era of greatness. To be sharing the pitch with them is reward enough.

 

Only that the ref stood still in the middle of our half for some time before signalling kickoff. No announcement. Of course he may have been listening to his wife's phone call

 

It's the sign of champions to come back from 2-0 down in that way. We're too insignificant to achieve that

 

As the semis are the same day as the Grand Euthenasia...I mean National, BetFred are doing a double Ultragold to win the National and Watford to win the FA Cup at 535/1.

Worth a cheeky couple of quid.

 

More than full. My attempt to order our ST seats didn't go through for some reason. I phoned the club and was given seats together in the Rookery. Those seats were occupied by ST holders who always sat there. Other people came in with duplicate tickets too.

No problem - we stood in the gangway and had an excellent view. No more dangerous than in the standing era, but not what is supposed to happen.

 

We have earnt £1,395,000 in prize money so far with a guaranteed £900,000 (should we not make the final) so in effect our win today was worth £1,620,000 £720,000 today and a guaranteed £900,000 in the semis!

 

Are the IBBs snuggled up together on the sofa now?

 

World of Dinosaurs? Match of the Day is on later, surely?

 

The feeling you get when your side has just been knocked out of the FA Cup, and all you've got to look forward to is school on Monday. CP_ULTRAS.

 

An ok performance but we got through. I’m sure Palace01 said they were as good as us but really they are not. Without Zaha they have nothing going forward at all. We weren’t great but still had the best chances.
Delefeou played well as did Deeney. Doucoure was quiet. Masina was terrible when he came on but as a team for the first 20 mins we were awful. What the hell was Mariappa doing for the goal?!
Bobby P - excellent assist for the goal but we have to have more than that. Just anonymous apart from the goal
Palace support. Loud at times but not often. Fanatics are quite funny especially the way they stayed in their seats at full time as if making a stand.
Our support was ok and better than most weeks.
I’m away for the semi final so hope to be back at Wembley in May

 

He went out at 5pm muttering something about "being sometime" and hasn't returned!
If he's not back by July I'll check the shed!

 

Not many people know this, but the collective noun for a group of blokes all called Nigel is a Stripey

 

With United going out, I'm so relieved that City got those two invalid goals now. The FA Cup would have been pointless had they both gone out today.

 

Highlights are on the BBC red button from around 22:00

 

To watch the Watford game you have to press '?', which is the last button on the Sky remote.

 

More to the point, if City had gone out then only winning the cup would give us Europe. We still, for now, still have both options.

 

Unfortunately, so do wolves.

 

Good point......on that note, it would be interesting if Wolves finish 7th, but lose to us in the FA Cup final.

 

Nothing on red button bbc at the moment and no ? on my remote ????

 

Actually, I saw Lineker, Shearer, Wright & Ince just now.

 

Lineker "Well done to Watford, but let's just talk about Swansea v Man City as the Ian Wright script about how good Palace were has just been shredded."

 

Lineker is like the stupidest person at a cocktail party.

Mundane comments made with a magnificent, Partridgean second’s delay.

As if he genuinely had apply thought to his question about the weather or roadworks on the A41.

 

In fact can't record off the red button anyway so unless they show the goals during the live game tomorrow I can't include it on my rolling highlights DVD. Can't believe it's not on terrestrial tv.
