THE PLAYOFF THREAD!!

by mystiroakey Sun May 05, 2013 7:29 pm

First topic message reminder :

So then..

what's gonna happen.
We have the massive derby that is Palace v Brighton... Will there be trouble amongst the fans?
Will Nick and mysti meet up by accident !!
Will Brighton continue their form?
Has palaces first win in 10!! given them the confidence?
Is this match up about form or passion?
Will the difference be about one special player like Zaha!!
And then we have Watford v Leicester.
Watford play some great football but will the players have the passion that the other 3 have due to the fact they are just the Udinese reserve team(or could it be said there first team!!!)
Leicester have done amazingly well to get into this position as there were odds against. they must feel on top of the world- will that give them the morale boost.

Interesting times lads. Who is going to win out!

What's the point in Owen Garvan? Given the ball away numerous times. Get Williams inside and Bolasie on

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 6:31 am

And that effort from buckley sums up this game.

by mystiroakey Sat May 11, 2013 6:32 am

I wouldnt take of williams for bolaise- but i would like to see him on yes!

there is no point putting on p-hillips just yet as we are not getting any final ball anyway..

but maybe he could sit back and pass it about abit.

by Guest Sat May 11, 2013 6:32 am

Why didn't he square that ?

by Marky Sat May 11, 2013 6:33 am

HT. Literally 1 attempt on target.

by mystiroakey Sat May 11, 2013 6:34 am

i should have gone with my gut 0-0 as the bet..

Never bet on your own team lads- never do it. You allways go against your gut!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat May 11, 2013 6:37 am

Well you'd think Palace can't play much worse.

Brighton missed some half chances and one big one. Might regret not taking advantage of Palace's general Poopie

by Bluebird_ccfc Sat May 11, 2013 6:37 am

Whenever I've seen I've never been impressed with him. he only seems to take two massive stepovers, knock the ball past the defender and use his pace. It may just be me but I prefer bolasie as a player than zaha. It also makes you wonder what moyes will do with him at utd next year. I can see another loan for the lad personally.

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 6:37 am

The game I thought this would be.

Palace are an average Championship team with a couple of x-factor players, neither of which is in form.

Brighton are basically a lower league Liverpool. They verge onto looking aimless with a lot of possession.

by Guest Sat May 11, 2013 6:39 am

There'll be goals in the 2nd half. Have faith folks.

That was a dross half of football agreed.

trust me by all reports we have played this bad for the last 10 games

by Bluebird_ccfc Sat May 11, 2013 6:40 am

mystiroakey - whenever I do my usual bets I never bet on Cardiff. I've forgotten the amount of times they have cost me money in an accumulator/ goals galore!
Incredibly I can still remember one accumulator I did when I was in uni. 15 teams. 14 won and millwall - Leeds drew 0-0. Was on for over 14k off a pound bet. Crazy how you remember things like that!

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 6:41 am

Highlights: Hammond header.

Thats it.

I'd back Watford/Leicester so far.

by mystiroakey Sat May 11, 2013 6:42 am

Aye

i was on for 20 k the other year on a 10 fold and england let in that goal against moldova 2 mins into injury time!! (the other 9 came in!!)

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 6:43 am

This Palace pundit is awful.

'They need to get the ball into Zaha more.'

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat May 11, 2013 6:44 am

Surely it has to be Garvan off, Williams to CAM and Bolasie on.

Williams is being wasted out wide, get him inside, Bolasie on to run at Calderon who is on a caution

Any idea what these "pundits" get paid for their 2 hours work?

by mystiroakey Sat May 11, 2013 6:49 am

The class of our entertainment is second to none- its all about the cheerleaders.

Its only us and one other team isnt it!!

by Marky Sat May 11, 2013 6:51 am

Crawley have the (frankly awful) Devilettes Cheerleaders. Biggest cheer they got was when one of them fell during their pyramid attempt Laugh

by mystiroakey Sat May 11, 2013 6:52 am

they actually tried that- thats hardcore Marky!

by Guest Sat May 11, 2013 6:53 am

I bet you lads are too young to remember the SKY Strikers cheerleaders?

Half times were a joy to behold!

by mystiroakey Sat May 11, 2013 6:54 am

well played zaha- good corner won!

much better on that side- no bridge!!!

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 7:01 am

Hammond would have more goals if he stopped shooting down the middle

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 7:01 am

Anyway Palace only had 1 direction to go after that half.

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 7:04 am

One for the cameras there for Kusczak

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat May 11, 2013 7:05 am

Only one goal in this you feel

by Marky Sat May 11, 2013 7:06 am

Just put £5 on Palace to win at 3/1, odds seemed too high. Could have left it later and got bigger odds the longer it's 0-0, but then a goal would go in Laugh

by Marky Sat May 11, 2013 7:08 am

And their top scorer injured within minutes picard

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 7:08 am

Thats a bad one

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat May 11, 2013 7:09 am

Murray's knee gone.

Wilbraham time Cool

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 7:10 am

Couple of decent penalty shouts

There goes my £5 Sad

At least I had a chance if Kev Phillips came on...

by mystiroakey Sat May 11, 2013 7:12 am

dont worry phillips loves a late goal Marky!

by Marky Sat May 11, 2013 7:12 am

Tomas Ballszak drumroll

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat May 11, 2013 7:14 am

Yeah abusing a guy who has probably just done his knee in.

Classy

by mystiroakey Sat May 11, 2013 7:19 am

feick sake!

by Bluebird_ccfc Sat May 11, 2013 7:21 am

I was expecting more from Brighton tonight if I'm being honest as theyve Been on a good run of form of late. With palace I know they stumbled into the playoffs so didn't expect much but thought as it was classed as a 'derby' they may have upped their game abit. Having said that the last 10/15 mins have been abit more entertaining. Gutted for Williams going off injured just then.

by Marky Sat May 11, 2013 7:21 am

Olly, put yourself in this scenario.

Ipswich win promotion and it's the East Anglia derby in the Prem. Grant Holt has just quit Norwich for Ipswich. Holt scores a goal to put Ipswich 1-0 up at Carrow Road. 10 minutes later, he does his knee ligaments and is stretchered off.

Are you gonna be classy, or are you gonna lay into him verbally as he's stretchered off?

by mystiroakey Sat May 11, 2013 7:21 am

hope williams is ok for next week.

At least the game has come alive!!

by mystiroakey Sat May 11, 2013 7:22 am

i hope holloway leaves zaha on the left for the next game!!

by Marky Sat May 11, 2013 7:24 am

Wilbraham is pants Laugh

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 7:25 am

Even Brightons keeper goes down easily

I weren't talking about the fans.

Was that not what Kusczak got booked for? Thought he was having a go at Murray?

I thought you were. Either way, players are (or at least should be) fans too.

by Fernando Sat May 11, 2013 7:29 am

He got booked for complaining at the ref when he got elbowed at a corner

Brighton player gets a rough challenge, limps to the sideline, Brighton win it back immediately, player gets involved again

Maybe you should have quoted that then Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat May 11, 2013 7:34 am

Don't make me even madder Marky.

Your Wilbraham comment has riled me up. How dare you doubt the great man. Psh

by GSC Sat May 11, 2013 7:34 am

Wilbraham is everything I expected a player not good enough to play up front for Norwich to be
