The only question is - will the Palace goal be from a)an Individual error, b)a Referring Error that VAR can't be arsed to check as they're doing the crossword or c)a last minute set-piece that we fail to defend properly?
Palace will score from a set-piece after another individual error from a Forest player, whilst Forest despair when the resulting goal is allowed in controversial circumstances by the Referee, without recourse to the VAR.

I can see this being a nervous affair.
Hopefully we can get a goal up and on 70 minutes give Wood a rest, get another centre back on. and see the game out.

Oh, and the visit of Palace reminds me that in the early 70s, when we were starting to get serious about relegation, we lost 0-1 at home to them and the local newspaper in their neck of the woods was so unimpressed with all but one of our team that they actually gave the score above their match the report as “Ian Storey-Moore 0 Crystal Palace 1”.

I remember more names from that Palace team than I do of their present team.

I was at that game, Palace were dire but we were even worse - Hopefully the 30th won't be a repeat.

So was I and “we were (even) worse” was pretty much par for the course then. But those are the days that make the good times even better when they finally come.

Palace will score in the ninth minute of added time, having first been wrongly handed the ball by the referee from a drop ball situation, from a set-piece after another individual error from a Forest player, whilst Forest despair when the resulting goal is allowed in controversial circumstances by the Referee, without recourse to the VAR.

Anyone getting a sense of déjà vu?

Agreed, however the good times have been few and far between, lets hope they continue - I suppose the current times are good by recent standards - for at least another season.

Aye, let's hope so pal.

I remember ISM stating before the game that Forest couldn’t afford to lose!
I think as the crowd trooped miserably away from the City Ground most fans were resigned
to relegation (I seem to remember it was raining as well!).

Which replays show was actually a good tackle. Oh, and the goal is scored by a player who should have received a red earlier in the game

Crystal would be an absolutely rubbish material to construct a Palace out of, it would be very difficult and time consuming.
If we were to give the 'Eagles' a more realistic name, based on the construction of the real, but mis-named, Crystak Palace, they would actually be Glass Palace.
A Glass Palace is just a large Greenhouse, in reality - and everyone knows that a) Plants, including Trees, will usually thrive in a Greenhouse environment (as long as the other requirements, such as water and feeding, which I assume our nutrition team are on top of, are right) and b) Greenhouses are prone to getting smashed by stray footballs.
On that basis, we're going to thrive and smash the Crystal Palace/Large Greenhouse.

Can anyone else recall the game at Selhurst in the 71/72 season when they were awarded a goal when the ball had actually gone under the side netting and nestled in the goal? Fortunately after much consultation the "goal" was disallowed
That, and the fact that „the Eagles“ have just appointed a manager named „Glasner“ (in German, this means „Glazier“ as in the profession of one who makes glass).

That settles it, I'm definitely going to refer to them as Greenhouse FC from now on.

Should Chelsea ground share there as CFC causes greenhouse gases?

Sir,
Your correspondent who signs himself as "Strummer", is surely mistaken.
A Glazier is not a member of the profession of glassmakers.
The noun is applied to a person who fits glass into windows and doors.
A maker of glass, typically an industrial chemist, is referred to as a glassmaker.
Yours faithfully etc...

No, they should be banned altogether. Both for the greenhouse gases and the hot air their fans spout, both of which contribute to global warming.
