To all palace fans world wide
today we wear our shirts with pride and heads held high
we sing our hearts out so the world can hear us
When the boys no men come out to our waiting fans let us show the world what Palace means to us
Never give up never be afraid shout and scream
WE ARE PALACE AND WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON OUR DREAMS

COME ON YOU PALACE
 
We couldn't be in a better position. We've got arguably our best ever squad, all fully fit and firing.

We've got arguably our best ever manager; a shrewd tactician, an incredible motivator who oozes class who will have us set up well.

City have the Haaland dilemma; they look better without him but he's scored so many goals...

It will be hard. It will be nerve-wracking.

But we'll never have a better chance.

Today is the day we bring it home.

I'm with you Monkey. David Peach definitely fuckin dived at Stamford Bridge and I still hate him for it!
I've only had the one plop so far but the shakes ain't far off.
Get in there the mighty CRYSTAL PALACE FC!!

As with all things Palace the old saying applies - hope for the best, expect the worst and take what comes.
Winning would be a lifelong dream but if we don't it'll hurt for a short while but it won't change anything about how anyone feels about the club. Or at least anyone who's been through the football mill before.
Is this defeatist or just pragmatism? Self protection anyway.
 
It seems we have the full support of the nation (aside from city & Brighton fans) behind us. I’m convinced we will have more supporters at Wembley and the display at the Palace end will be a different class. The tabloids are all running various stories- with their main focus on the possibility of Palace beating City.

My sons slept in their Palace tops last night - a new tradition this season before our F A Cup games😂

So…in answer to the question…..YES, I am convinced we can win the F A Cup.

Don’t over think it - Win or lose - you’ve just got to enjoy the moment - and we certainly intend to! Leaving in a couple of hours - can’t wait!
 
I would like to beat Man City
Our trophy cabinet would look so pretty
I can see the Wembley signs
Running around my mind
So what do you say?
The trophy of dreams should be ours anyway
We're 18 miles away
18 miles away
18 miles away
We've been up we've been down
But London's our town

That film may be about Arsenal but it sums it up perfectly for me. It’s the hope that kills you, I didn’t open this thread for a while because I can’t bring myself to think about it actually happening.

Aren't we just a bunch of glory hunters! Imagine supporting a team where you don't just expect to win but can't conceive of any other outcome. Must be strange.
 
I dreamt we rolled them over 3-0 and there were conga lines going around the Wembley concourse.

Was a bit sad waking up but it’s given me confidence we can do it!

Currently on my way to Wembley on a packed coach from the south west. I’ll see everyone on the other side!

Fingers crossed you turn out to be the Nostradamus of the Holmesdale.
Enjoy the day.
 
Just had a walk up around the stadium , The Palace are starting to arrive already . Quite a few pubs on the High Street with notices in the windows saying Palace fans only and have secuirty on the doors . Great weather here . The City fans are decent enough wishing luck and hand shakes . Still checked for my watch and wallet after though . COYP . Win or lose will always love you .

At the ground - being approached all the time from ‘so called supporters’ got any spare tickets!

It’s obvious they are not supporters, looking to make money out of true fans - feel like telling them **** ***

Anyway, atmosphere is ELECTRIC. Seriously, sooooo many Palace fans…how many times am I going to hear…Eze’s on fire 😂

Not sure you're right there. True, the Cup isn't the glittering prize it was and (almost) nobody north of the Wall cares a jot who wins in England. However it still carries considerable cache overseas being a source of vast potential revenue and support. No football fan is far flung corners will say "Crystal who?"
 
We’re in Finchley still.

Not had a single nerve until last hour or so.

We’re not here on a wing and a prayer, it’s more than possible.

Had a group of grown blokes from Lewisham all admitting to each other they’d probably shed a few tears if we win it.

Doesn’t feel like the last one, there’s real belief in the air.

What a day this could be
 
In answer to the question of the thread. Yep. I hope with everything I’ve got like everybody else red and blue that this is the time. 🤞🏻🙏🏻
