Booked gig tickets back in Feb' for this evening, no idea it clashed with the final or imagined we'd be there. Wasn't able to make it to Leipzig but thankfully HBO Max has saved the day. Binned the gig so COYP

I just had a post-dinner cigarette in the garden, where I paced around visualising myself scoring bicycle kicks and 35 yard screamers.

Not sure how much it helps but I like to think I’m contributing in some way.

I see no reason to place your contribution below that of Brennan Johnson.

So far, at least. Perhaps tonight is the night......

Big game for Riad tonight

We will miss Richards very much.

Interesting that Riad is selected ahead of Lerma, who is good in the air and has a long throw and, as such, might be a more obvious straight swap for Richards.

I'd guess Lerma has played his way out of the team and on to the bench, especially against arsenal.

Just hope Riad can last. His fitness seems slow to arrive.

 

[Spindle]

We can do this! COME ON PALACE, MAKE HISTORY


(And we MUST win to beat the weeds once again, and be in the Europa League, I would fear they'd win this next season if we do not)

 

[Spindle]

Those TW ATS at TNT, "Palace have waited 120 years for this". Stupid cow,

1861, look at the crest you idiot

Riad is a much better footballer than Lerma in most respects.

Riad is a much better footballer than Lerma in most respects.

He is, and it's the choice I hoped Glasner would make if Richards didn't make it.

We are, nevertheless, a bit weaker than we would have been with Richards in the team.

Come on Palace. Start fast again. Don't let this lot settle into it.

 

[crvenaeagle]

Now that's a tifo!
HF take note.

Is anybody else thinking this is the most surreal event ever… Palace in a European final ha ha I wish my old man could have seen this.
