Football 2012-2013 Season

Not to be mean Kirk, but to say you 'really didn't want' RVP doesn't show a great deal of judgment! Best striker in the Prem.

I didn't think he would stay fit and thought he was a luxury player (considering the attacking talent we already had) and that the money would be better spent elsewhere. I'll admit that I got that one wrong and that may well be the case with Moyes, but it doesn't mean I have to like the decision.

Well done Wigan. It's good to see the two cups go to teams outside of the big clubs. Maybe it will inspire more clubs to take the cup competition seriously next year.

Helluva weekend. Looking forward to tomorrows play-off game, not as much as Rob, but I think either team will give Watford a good game. Watford vs. Brighton would be a fantastic game, and personally, I'm hoping Brighton get promoted just because I think Poyet has done an amazing job with them. Palace will be up there next season with Holloway and Watford would probably be favourites to win the league if they continue with their current transfer policy.

[Rob]

On the contrary mate I am not looking forward to tomorrows game, they are going to trash us

friggin auto correct and damn, lower league at its best

[Flins.]

FA Cup champions are down Damn shame, but between them and Villa, I'm glad Villa stayed up. Think Newcastle deserved to go down and no doubt they'll hand that last champions league spot to Arsenal on a platter.

[Cory]

Cazorla was HUGE today, such a brilliant player.

[Rob]

WE CLAP WITH OUR HANDS WE CLAP WITH OUR HANDS WE'RE CRYSTAL PALACE AND WE CLAP WITH OUR HANDS

[Flins.]

Looking forward to the playoff final, I think Palace have a good chance, they have, I think, the perfect system to counter Watford. Zaha and Balasie down the wings, and Watford playing with wingbacks, it is where they struggled against Leicester and that diving French guy (Knockaert), Jedinak will be huge for Palace as well, never appreciated how a good a player he is until the Brighton games.

[Cory]

Can they stop Vydra tho? He looks to be heating up again, Almunia looks to be on high momentum form after his play in the dying minutes.

[Rob]

Vydra isn't that great, that little fella will look lost standing next to Delaney and Rambo or Gabbidon.

[Dorling]

Vydra isn't that great, that little fella will look lost standing next to Delaney and Rambo or Gabbidon.

That might be a bit understated. He's a very, very good finisher and doesn't need a lot of chances to put one away. My concern with the 'big boys' of Palace's defence is pace. Watford have loads of it.

[Flins.]

I don't see Palace defenders pushing up, with Jedinak in front of them, they will be sitting deep and dealing with Vydra and Deeney. From what I have seen of Watford they tend to overwhelm their opponents midfield, wing-backs hugging the touchline, three in midfield and usually Chalobah from the back three pushing forward, that is where it well get dangerous for Gabbidon and Delaney. I think the weakest link for Watford is Anya, the right wingback, stick Zaha on the left and he will have a field day, and with Moxey backing him up, could be a key area. Shame that Murray is out because Wilbraham isn't the greatest, what happened to the days of sticking Danny Butterfield up front and having him run rampant?

[Dorling]

Yeah I just read about Murray. Massive miss. Could be out for a year.
