Busterrimes Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 There is a typical London arrogance amongst Palace fans but there is no historical reason for it. Unlike most of the London clubs they are a nothing club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Happy with that. We never get the big boys so just happy that we have a home tie and it's one of the 3 I thought we would get (others being Bournemouth and Swansea). Roy is coming home.

Johnr1986 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Slightly underwhelmed but definitely winnable, hoping they remain poo till we play them so they are more likely not to risk there better players putting the league first, will we ever get a top draw ? It's pretty frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famouslastword Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Great draw in my eyes. They will be focussed 100% on the league and safety and they have that losing mentality at the open and we are on the up. Could progress and then who knows...

Fordy62 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Here's an indication of how they view the cup... first team is the XI who beat Huddersfield in the Cup. Second team lost to Saints in the Prem on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to look at the last time we drew a big club: Man U - 1980 Man City - 2007* Spurs - 1980 Arsenal - 1980 Chelsea - 1990 Liverpool - 1994 *This was before Man City was a 'big' side in my opinion so it doesn't count!

Their next 3 games don't look clever but our game will be sandwiched between them playing Newcastle and West Ham, the latter at home which is already looking like a must win.

BanburyRed Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Happy with this! At home, v winnable, they have no confidence with a manager who doesn't inspire confidence. By the time we play them, they'll have lost to Man City, Man Utd & Chelsea, probably (still) bottom of Premier League, no points and no goals. Flint vs Benteke....? My money's on Aden. Fammy, Matty, Bobby vs their fragile defence? Yes please! Chance for another Premier League scalp to progress to the next round. #bringiton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the point of being in this competition if you cant aspire to beat the best there is and create wonderful memories that supporters of us small clubs need? It's easy to understand peoples disappointment that we've missed out once again but we've never had a better chance of reaching the quarter finals since 89. Exciting times!

Lrrr Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 We also had Middlesbrough when they were a uefa cup side.... Please, please!

Wanderingred Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Lets remember Hull were in exactly the same situation last year as Palace were now, so we shouldnt be too confident.
