IT'S CUP DAY!!! Official Palace v City Match thread.

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

staggering call from the fat linesman... he's let us down there. and himself.

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

Lescott is such a bizarre buy incidentally - just not that strong positionally or in the air.

[Sister of fu]

FAT DI**HEAD LINESMAN !!!!!

no where near.

[foreverblue]

Zabba must get a game soon.

[david yearsley]

Shambolic start - lets hope itt gets better!

[Dameerto]

Lescott is such a bizarre buy incidentally - just not that strong positionally or in the air.

He reads the game better than Dunne (and that's saying something) - positioning is one of his strong points. And his history of scoring from set pieces implies he is strong in the air.

[Elvistheblue]

Richards has started a bit shakily.....Still think Zabs would be a better bet at right back.

The football we're playin is fucking magical! Cant stop smiling!

"Shit ground no fans, shit ground no fans" - the simple ones are always the best!

His distribution so far has been excellent.

[shawzy]

Palace lookin knackered already..We will kill them off soon

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

We need to bring De Jong or some other bulldog in. They are kicking the shit out of our lads.

[Dameerto]

As long as Micah calms down and stops jumping into tackles, or he will get himself sent off.

Or anywhere else for that matter, letting Dunne go for that plank is a huge mistake.

[BmoreBlue]

i wish i was home watching a stream instead of sitting at my desk following the gamecast. this is killing me.

[roadkill2487]

what the heck! how many saves is Given going to have to make?!

[edge275]

Which lunatic sanctioned the sale of Dunne? We're being killed here defensively.

I've always said we should keep him.

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Uuummmmmmmhhhhh...... this is getting nervous. And some people were saying we should play kids and reserves.

[AlpsMaster]

I'm still looking for a stream please?

his history of losing crucial headers in european qualifying implies that he's not.
He scored most of those goals with his feet, at the back post, playing left back because he's not as good as Jagielka. He's not a Premier League winning CB, that's what bothers me, 24m for a guy who moves us a couple of steps forward at most.

Our front 5 are brilliant as well.

You two on smack or what?
