Look at these scenes man, if we repeat them on Wednesday do you think anyone is gonna give a toss where we finish in the league or who out manger is?

2 or 3 most certainly will be more like this

While the rest of us celebrate should it happen
 
If you were a palace fan now would you give even one single fuck?

No. No you would not
I'm not a Palace fan though... I'm not after an argument just generally curious as to whether you would accept that style of football week in week out. Do you see Palace winning another pot in the next few seasons. I'm thrilled for them but my god they are dull to watch.
 
Didn’t even realise this was on today.


They don't play like that week in week out though, so the question is redundant.

They did what they needed to do to win the first ever major trophy in their history.

I've seen us play worse and win cup finals.

They are the 4th lowest possession based team in the league, so he’s not totally wrong. I haven’t watched today’s game, but I don’t think they will usually be as passive possessionally as they will be against ManC, but Glasner’s ethos is pretty risk averse and light on possession.

Fair point. I've only seen them a few times and it's low block and counter... I've never seen us play worse and win a cup final... care to elaborate which final we played worse that that in?

They play in a way that I was hoping we would this season, solid defensively, but with an attacking mindset whereby they look to get the ball forward as quickly as possible when they win it back.

At no point this season have I ever watched them and thought they were an attritional team to watch. If anything, I find them a far more "exciting" team to watch than City, who dominated possession.
 
Really? I thought it could have been 5-0 by HT
Yeah, I thought we were terrible. An U16 side could have beaten us last week. Looks like I'm in the minority and trying to replicate Palace is cool with a lot of you... remember though. The Palace players are hungry and looking for a big move so they give 110. Our players tend to be soft and give 85-90 as they've already got their big move. We would definitely not keep up the intensity and discipline to keep a City or Liverpool out for 90 plus minutes playing this way.
 
Pleased palace won. Like the underdogs winning. Hopefully the possession obsession will go away a little bit. & we have a bit more of a variety. If your keepers Fraser Forster then you should be expecting him to do lots of risky passes!

I'm not sure we need to replicate Palace, but I enjoy watching them. Maybe it's just because I like them as a club and their fans so I give them more respect than other teams.

Do I think Glasner is right for us? Probably not. He took ages to get Palace playing the way he wanted - our fans wouldn't have been as patient. Also he plays 3 at the back and I'm kinda done with that after Conte .

That's fair Kingston... its hard to even know what is the right type of manager for us... maybe a Redknapp type but that sort of manager is pretty much extinct.
 
It’ll be great if by the end of next week, we’ve won and us, Palace and Newcastle have all won trophies this season. So much better than everything just being shared between Pool and City.
