This is what it was like in 1990, mate. In fact 26 years later and I still think about all the what-ifs with Hughes equaliser. Now that it's happened to us again has made everything twice as bad.

I recorded the game yesterday but much like the replay of 1990 I just don't think I'll ever be able to bring myself to watch it.


Maybe Parish wants assurances first that he has a Plan B for matches next season.

....was just scouring the 'Man Utd Supporters' thread on here and this post kinda summarizes if for me:


Oh well - maybe we'll get another chance in 26 years time again.

this is what's killing me inside. What if we have to wait that long? what if we never make it that far again and that was our moment for glory? it's still unbearable right now.

Excellent article in the guardian about the match by Jacob Steinberg . Crystal Palace Miss Their Big Chance & Have Only Themselves To Blame , well worth a read .


Sums it all up pretty well in my opinion .

For next season one thing above all I would like to see is better ball retention & stop giving the ball away so much.

^ yeah we definitely need to get a creative midfielder in this summer as well as that goalscorer & bolstering the defence...

...both parish & pardew have said we will be shopping in the close season so let's see how serious everyone is now about getting rid of the dead wood & replacing it with a better standard of player... don't think i could take another window of all talk and no action...

let's start looking forward to pre-season now.

We have a tour to North America in July.

Wednesday 13th July
Vs Philadelphia Union

Saturday 16th July 2016
Vs FC Cincinnati

Tuesday 19th July 2016
Vs Vancouver Whitecaps

Hopefully another person will be there to stream the US matches on their phone like last time.

would love to have gone over there for those matches... will have to make do with the ones in the uk...

...talking of which we'll be sending a team to bromley on july 28th and also the met police on july 26th (i'll go to that one in disguise just in case )

Was nice to watch Millwall confirming today that south London is still very much ours.

hopefully wimbledon win tomorrow then they can battle it out next season with millwall & charlton to be 2nd best...

Alan Pardew has been given odds of 33-1 to win Strictly Come Dancing by bookmakers after his dance moves at the FA Cup final.

your drivel is not wanted in our thread... please go away, cheers...

What's the chances of Wimbledon beating them both back to the top flight?

tell ya what, i wouldn't put it past them... a club on the up unlike the other 2...

Joe Ledley's made the Wales 23-man squad for the Euros. Delighted for him after missing out on the Cup Final.

Really pleased for Ledley. Him, Hennessey and Jonny Williams in the squad - Wales games will definitely be worth watching.

hopefully they have brilliant games against Russia and Slovakia but a stinker against England.

Haha, you know the opposite is true and thrash us 5.0 with Hennessey making countless world class saves. Am really happy for Ledley though especially with his fibula? / leg.

should find out soon which players are being released.... rumour so far is that chamakh & hangeland will definitely be on that list...

Confirmed now that Adebayor, Chamakh, Hangeland, Mariappa and Paddy McCarthy have all been released.

Doesn't not being on the retained list just mean their contracts are up. And they could still be offered another before it's done?

Admittedly only Adebayor and Mariappa are likely to have any real chance of that. Unless Paddy gets his usual year extension for the phsyios room.

to be honest we wouldn't miss any of them... i like hangeland but he'll be 35 come august and you need someone younger as back up... bigger problem could come if we end up selling dann in this window...

Damien Delaney and Julian Speroni have both signed new one-year contracts.

Fixture list announced.

First game is home to West Brom. Final game away to Man U on the anniversary of the FA cup - bastards.

The final run doesn't look good.

Looks like we're going to need 40 points in the bag before April!
