Colinjb Posted 30 November, 2011 Share Posted 30 November, 2011 ...Are 2-1 v Man Utd at Old Trafford with 5 minutes remaining in Injury time. An Old Trafford seeing 9 internationals in it's first eleven. That could have been us guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 30 November, 2011 Share Posted 30 November, 2011 Judged on tonight Palace are a threat in the Championship.

Very impressed by Clyne at right back (hasn't he been mentioned as a possible signing?) and also Zaha on the left. Clyne would have been near the top of my list of potential signings at the start of the season, but Frazer's been one of our best players so far. However, if we're on the lookout for a second striker, we couldn't do much better than sign Zaha imo. When he came on in the Carling Cup against us he made our players look like idiots, he's only 18 as well. Sign him up Nige! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 1 December, 2011 Share Posted 1 December, 2011 Perfect draw too against cardiff at least one champ side will be in the final wasn't to bothered when we went out but a bit jealous now would love to be in another cup final. In the end you've got to say well done to any team that knock out man U on their home turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 1 December, 2011 Share Posted 1 December, 2011 What a lovely result. It gives me a nice warm feeling inside, imagining all those United fans today waking up with long faces, in Tunbridge Wells, Margate, Taunton, etc. Not to mention all those in the Far East asking themselves "who are Crystal Palace?"

Wycombe Saint Posted 1 December, 2011 Share Posted 1 December, 2011 And with City v Liverpool in the other semi, then surely either Cardiff or Palace will be in Europe next year.

Presuming that City and Liverpool qualify for either Champions League or Europa! Probably a good thing we didn't get through then I can imagine the whinging on here about the europa cup distracting us from the more important task of Promotion/finishing fourth from bottom of the PL with calls to play the under 21s in europe........

the wedge Posted 1 December, 2011 Share Posted 1 December, 2011 I honestly don't think we'd have beaten Utd at Old Trafford. At St Mary's, yes I think we would. But not away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 1 December, 2011 Share Posted 1 December, 2011 There's no reason for re-writing the past, so why bother. There's also no guarantee that Rickie and Fonte would have constituted a win, nor that our result would have been anything like Palace's had we eventually got through. Stop beating yourself up over it, none of us really care about the Carling Cup - when you're in first place in the League, the main priority has to be promotion.

Well I'm betting Palace care about it right now. Of course we have no way of knowing how it would have turnned out for us but Palace are one step away from a cup final (with a decent draw) after knocking at Man U are people really saying they wouldn't want that for saints? I hate the way these days that getting to the PL and avoiding relegation is now considered the pinncle of achievement by most clubs and supporters. Winning trophies and leagues (unless it's astep to the PL) just don't seem important anymore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace have different aims to us this season - and besides, they'll only get tonked in the final if they make it that far anyway. The FA Cup - that's a different kettle of fish, but not the League Cup. Next season, if we make it back to the Premiership, then give it a crack. The League Cup does need re-vamping though - God knows how, but most managers use it as a chance to blood squad players or youth. Perhaps a better reward at the end of it or better financial incentives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 1 December, 2011 Share Posted 1 December, 2011 I honestly don't think we'd have beaten Utd at Old Trafford. At St Mary's, yes I think we would. But not away. No doubt the Palace fans didn't think that they'd beat United away either. Last season we dominated United for 70 minutes, albeit at home, but then we were in the third division. If Palace are a better team than we are, why aren't they top? Cup competitions are sometimes a bit of a lottery, especially when the big teams underestimate their lower division opposition. I'm not saying that United fielded a weak team, what with the number of Internationals in it, but it certainly wasn't anywhere near their strongest team and what benefited Palace, was that most of the United players were not as used to playing together as the Palace players.

The9 Posted 1 December, 2011 Share Posted 1 December, 2011 They organised a march to their game against Millwall last week and arranged a police escort. Yes, they asked for an escort at a HOME game. Absolute noddy club. Police wouldn't have allowed it otherwise, nothing to do with whether it was home or away, or the kind of club they are - there are laws on gatherings of certain numbers of people and the last thing you'd want is to organise a march only to be told to disperse before it's started. Seems like a sensible move to me. I have no problem with Palace aside from the "lobbing stuff at us when we scored in injury time to stay in the Prem for another week at their expense" thing, and even that's pretty understandable.

JRM Posted 1 December, 2011 Share Posted 1 December, 2011 benefits i can see for us - we have Cardiff at home 31st December, they'll be playing extra games that month with the semi final over 2 legs, plus there are FA Cup games so see how they pan out. hopefully they pick up some injuries and suspesions and drop a few points helping us get a gap away from 3rd .

Like I said the pinncle of achievment for most football clubs (outside the top 4-5) these days seems to be get to the PL and don't get relegated.... any thing else is just seen as a distraction...
