West Ham Utd 0-1 Crystal Palace (19/04/14)

[Aceface]

The proper thread-starters can bin this one off when they come in.

If we can bolt the first half performance against Liverpool to the first half performance against Arsenal then we're going to have Palace's pants down.

However, if we have the second half performances from those two matches combined we could see some boooooing.

Most likely we continue our relatively efficient recent home form and come away with a hard-fought and possibly tinny three points.

I am making my triumphant return to the Boleyn for this one so expect

A 2/3-0 defeat. It's inevitable.

[saludo de carlitos]

I'd go unchanged here or maybe just one change with Vaz Te for Downing. It's gonna be very low scoring as Palace know how to defend.

[prophet:marginal]

However people are going to top up describing the 'Ultras', they're coming for a sing-song.

The Palace lads I know believe both that

(a) they are definitely safe if they get a point, and
(b) their team ups its game the louder they sing.

Yes, they're from a moody part of London (sort of). Yes, they've haven't got the history our proud club has, but this for them is a season that will live long in the memory, if they stay up. Their last proper stint in the top flight was in the late 60's.

So, for my local bragging rights, I hope we put half a dozen past them.

[Iron George]

It's gonna be very low scoring as Palace know how to defend.

This game has got 0-0 or 1-0 either way written all over it.

Erm United are playing Everton on Saturday

The push to reclaim it starts here...

[smuts]

Palace playing some good stuff at the mo...

[LincolnshireHammer]

First match since the 6-0 drubbing to City, but stuck up in the heavens of the Alpari for it.

Will be a signifcant difference to watching us from Chav Corner week in week out.

[Adam 'The Smudge']

I reckon this will be a cracker Saturday.
All of us will become one at the whistle to become United once more.
Think it will be open and fast.

[Hatcham Iron]

hope we turn up with a bit of passion cos you can be sure palace will.they will rekon that they will turn us over' this is gonna be one hell of a game!!

[Paddy O'Hammer]

So its back to another must win game. Who would have thunked that a few hours ago.

Will we bottle it?

[NorthBankAlliance]

Palace will turn us over on and off the pitch is my verdict...
I hope those who **** off their ultras bring their singing voice...

[ironsjh]

I don't think we'll lose to Palace, they'll be hard to beat, but I don't think they'll be able to break down Reid and Tomkins.

Adrian
Demel-Reid-Tomkins-Armero
Noble-Nocerino
Jarvis-Nolan-Vaz Te
Carroll

Jussi, Roger, Chambers, Diame, Downing, Carlton, Joe

[southbrishammer]

This will be my first time actually coming to a game in person since Bristol City away two years ago, so I'm hoping for a good one. 2-1, Nolan, Puncheon and a Reid header from a corner in the 93rd minute, half an hour of mayhem in the Boleyn after the game then head back to Paddington for the train home. Can't wait!

[martin allen fan club]

Well with our team of bottlers and our 'we only sing one song' crowd against there vocal ultras , im going for a def defeat here .... 1-2

[Estuary]

2-0 West Ham. And Prophet, London only exists north of Thames. The bit south of the river is either Kent, Surrey or Sussex.

[AMC1964]

Need a win. I'm 50 on Friday. West Ham bloody owe me a top performance and 3 points for all the years of bleedin' suffered following them all over the shop....

[one mcavennie]

This is typically one of those games that we could bottle and look like right mugs

Palace are on a roll and bloody up for it

Could be a cracking game with lots of atmosphere - that or we'll go one nil down and no one will bother getting behind the team
