Crystal Palace vs. Burnley match thread

[Palacesince64]

I’ve decided losing to Burnley was all part of a cunning plan. With Spam improving under Nuno , if Burnley can go on a run that opens up the possibility of the dream outcome whereby Forest and Brighton go down along with Wolves. It could happen.

I think bizarrely if it had been higher placed opposition I’d believe it more. I don’t think anyone wanted the humiliation of losing to Macclesfield.

Your last bit I completely agree with. The focus now is staying up. The Conference League (which we’ve been rubbish in anyway) has to be a distant second to that

I think we would rather have drawn someone bigger for sure, but we weren't that lucky. I suppose the logic would have been that if we win the Conference, the humiliation would evaporate.

We'll never know.

Now that would be a comforting fiction.

I remember us letting a 3 goal lead go and drawing 3-3 with stockport at home in early 00's.

I remember, many, many years ago, when I was knee high to a grasshopper, being excited as we were beating Millwall at Selhurst Park 3-0 at half time. Final score? 3-4. Ah well.

Remember a home game 2 up after 8 minutes 2-2 after 15 think we lost 3-2 , for the life of me I can't remember who we played sure Geoff Thomas scored 🤪

which year was this?
I remember in 1989 hopkins scoring a 25 yard own goal after 2 mins, we came back to lead 3-1. They then scored 2 but brighty got the winner to make it 4-3 to us!!

We were 2 up against mourinho's man u just after h-t when van aanholt ran through to score. They came back to win 3-2 with a late matic goal in injury time.

Then it would have looked obvious.

I'm not asking people to believe it. I'm just saying that I believe that it was a strategic decision.

Must admit my thought after the Maccelsfield game was that as there was no realistic chance of us winning the FA Cup again getting knocked out early then saved us maybe one or two round games given that we were we had a busy end of year and were doing OK in the league and had the conference cup to concentrate on. It being an actual planned lose didnt occur to me - and I do find it hard to beleive it was planned as executed too well! !
