Crystal Palace fans have been commenting ahead of kick-off at Selhurst Park.
Newcastle United the visitors with six weeks remaining of this Premier League season.
Crystal Palace fans (and their team and manager) with the distraction of potential European glory.
So how though do they see this United match?
Interesting times for the home supporters, set to lose their manager but potentially win two trophies in 12 months, having never won a single major trophy previously in their entire history.
Crystal Palace fans commenting ahead of Sunday afternoon on their Holmesdale message board:
‘Larsen and Pino seem likely to come in.
Unless Johnson has a revelation, I hope he only gets a few minutes. Otherwise Hall will have a field day down the left.
Newcastle are in a pretty bad shape with the home loss to Sunderland following Barcelona hitting them for 7, talk of Tonali leaving and Howe’s position under question (he may end up with us next year)
They are only team not to have been in the top 5 or bottom 3 at any stage this season.
Beat them and we can dream of the Conference again next season.’
‘Difficult game to predict, especially as Thursday night matches don’t help any team when they then play two or three days later.
Seeing upcoming games for those just below us, if they pick up points and we don’t it could cause concerns?
I will be happy with a 1:1 tomorrow.
May not be as easy as some think?’
‘I think there will be changes.
Larsen for Mateta and it wouldn’t surprise me if Hughes and/or Lerma play in midfield with Pino playing instead of Guessand.
I also expect Johnson and possibly Riad to be given minutes.
We have 3 games in 8 days so it will be a surprise if there’s not some rotation.’
‘So long as Mateta gets dropped for Larsen, I’m not too bothered about the rest…in Glasner I trust.’
‘At the behest of the Italians, i feel like waving a Sunderland flag at the Geordies. Just for the craic.’
‘I would be happy with a draw. 1-1
Thinking back to our fa cup run we had a few re arranged games before the fixtures.
I think we had arsenal 2 days before the villa semi final?
Glasner likes to play full strength every game.’
‘Align with the apprehension from some. Until we’re factually safe, I shall continue to worry.
Beating Newcastle would allow me to focus attention on Europe and my PL energy towards baying for North London to bottle a title and get relegated however.
I’ll take a draw now, but I’m hoping we have a late season surge in us after a dreadful winter, demonstrated with a win over the geordies.’
‘4 tickets holmesdale road upper K if anyone interested. Need to be a member if interested so can transfer.
2 adult 2 children. Reasonable offers welcome.’
‘I‘m a natural worrier especially when it has anything to do with Palace and have been shot down a few times regarding our league position.
Fact is, Hammers are 3 points closer and I will be in Stress Modus until we gain 6 minutes re points.
Newcastle hold the upper hand over us in recent seasons’
‘My Season ticket is available for Newcastle home game. Main stand block f. Fantastic view.
Palace only and client reference needed for transfer. £25.00, message if interested.
Than.
‘We win and we climb the Table.
we lose and it hurts Brighton’s European dreams.
Just don’t pick up any injuries and we will all be happy.’
‘Will we get a 6th consecutive clean sheet at Selhurst? I’m predicting 1-0 with JSL scoring.’
