They've got a decent midfielder called Milivojevic (pen).

To the tune of the most penalties for any PL team over the past five years, an average of at least ten per season; given that we seem to get an average of about three or four, tops, we start the game at a disadvantage.

How many given for 'fouls' against Zaha I wonder. Same with Leicester and Vardy?

He’s the size of a ****ing bus!

He could sing Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’ at half time. George Michael liked a w@nk in public too!

Roads should be relatively quiet, shouldn't they?

so the GK crisis could see young anang make his debut or clown Roberto return ! what a state we are in !

rather have the youngster have a go. 7 british lads in the team !

anang
Johnson Balbuena ogbonna cresswell
Snodgrass noble rice fornals
Antonio haller

subs tea lady ! zabaleta diop masuaka Anderson ajeti Holland.
fabianski and lanzini not risked . yarmolenko not needed as useless. wilshere working hard to get fit :lol:

as long as roberto doesnt play the defence looks much better. johnson if fit enough will have a hard day but zab is just too slow. hopefully snoddy and antonio can stiffen up that side against diving zaha.

ME being in goal would make the defence look better & I haven't run about since the 20th century..

With the 4-4-2 suddenly back in vogue (Ancelotti at Napoli, Everton coincidentally suddenly playing the same formation and us), it looks like this could be another day of glory for the storied tactic.

Sadly Roy has been there and saw it all, and will be able to adequately counteract it, and the fact that our front two are not ideal.

So it is looking like a tight 0-0 or perhaps a 1-0 through Zaha to me.

palace are an ordinary team who rely on Zaha for something special. he usually delivers or dives . so keep him quiet and we will be in with a chance. I hope pelle keeps 442 as it takes the game to the opposition and Antonio can tuck in on the rightside if needed.

assuming the worst with injuries as its west ham I would go

Yep, the line it's on is open on Boxing day (Highbury & Islington to West Croydon).
