I'd like to spend some time giving my in depth pre-match analysis. But I'm going to the off licence instead.

I'm eating peanuts. I assume we're all having to account for ourselves pre-match?

I'd settle for a draw before a ball is kicked, Shakhtar are decent side with tons of European experience including Champions League football. I was chatting to a Shakhtar supporter yesterday as they have a fairly large contingent of Ukrainians in Sheepshead Bay/ Coney Island & they feel confident of a win but for Palace to edge it over two legs

Sounds like a rough pub.

With our home record a win tonight would be favourite but a draw would do. With any luck they don't travel well and they've got two away games.

Agree a draw will be a good result tonight - but fear we might not get that -believe they are a good side !

Joleon Lescott made an observation. Some of these Brazilians are World Class but stuck at Shakhtar for Visa/immigration/Work Permit reasons.

A very expensive bench if they’re not good enough to start this game maybe we should cut our losses this summer.

Or they've got loads of Francas.

 

[Hannes]

Well, that's not a bad start, to say the least.

 

[mileend]

What a great bit of interplay and great finish from Sarr

 

[mrwanderingtexan]
