I don't even know where Palace are placed in the League. Are they playing well? Has anyone seen them play this season? Who are their danger men? I don't think any of this is relevant with it being a cup match, it's just that I dont know anything about them.

Actually, I've no idea, GaRCie. I think they're up in the promotion mix, but can't really be @rsed to check 'em out.

I can't ever recall being less 'up' for an FAC tie - bigger fish to fry imo.

Palace may well beat us tomorrow - Morrison and Freedman are always looking for goals and will put away any easy chances that we let them have.

It will either be a blessing in disguise or the end of our season.

I would be tempted to play Ameobi, Lua Lua, Bernard and Acuna in place of Bellamy, Shearer, Robert and Kieron Dyer - Robert isn't fit yet and the other three need a break for the Leeds game which IMHO is 100x more important.
