DH and DS Palace season ticket holders, they’re on their way to Wembley. DD and I at home, I’ve not watched any of the previous matches so won’t start now, DD will and give me commentary.

it would mean so much if they could win, esp Joel Ward’s last match

EAGGGLLLLLESSSSSSSSSSS

Last week I saw Man City play at Southampton (supervised my dad ) and City weren’t anything special
🤞

I’m a Scot, from rugby country, have very little knowledge or interest in day to day English football, and even I’m hoping for a Palace win. The FA Cup does have some special magic I agree.

Love an underdog, Daniel beats Goliath story. But also believe there’s been a lot of dodgy financial stuff at Man City and they shouldn’t get away with that.

We need a rousing version of 'Glad all over ' from the thread!

I reckon Man City fans are the only people who want them to win and even then I bet a few of them wouldn't mind Palace winning.

Yeah, we're a blue household, but how could anyone be sad to see a team get their first major trophy? Great for the game.

From another south London team supporter who just qualified for the playoff final this afternoon 😁:-

Best of luck to Palace!!

Erstwhile ground sharing pals!!

Sherunswithwolves · 17/05/2025 15:40

I've just been chatting with my dad and we both want Crystal Palace to win. Our club has achieved promotion recently and it's been magical. So from Bantams to Eagles: good luck!

Ooh a Don (the OG Plough Lane)? My brother and nephew were there, they’re Arsenal but too far /expensive and they live really near PL so go quite often

👍 @Matchingcollarandcuffs, can hear the Dons singing from my house. On a good day 😉 When I’m not there myself that is 😆

SheWaits · 17/05/2025 15:46

Liverpool fan here also hoping for a Palace win.

I used to live practically opposite their training ground back when I worked in London so they're a team I generally like to see doing well.

tobee · 17/05/2025 15:53

Ooh yeah and cheers for the loan of Owen Goodman 👍 op!

dontcallmelen · 17/05/2025 15:55

Palace my local team, really really hope they succeed 🙏🏻

Hellohah · 17/05/2025 15:57

Mancunian here, but the right (red) side 😂

I'm all in for an Eagles victory here too! Come on Palace 🤞🏻

MinistryofThyme · 17/05/2025 16:01

EAGLES!!!!!

As someone else said upthread, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen other football fans so united in their support of one team! Nobody wants bloody UAE-sponsored financially fraudulent Man City to win

As a Doncaster Rovers fan, I was so pleased for the Bantams that late goal was brilliant 😊

LindorDoubleChoc · 17/05/2025 16:03

Yep, my DH, DS (season ticket holders) and a lot of our friends are there today. EEEaaagggllles. Up The Palace!

Thank you, and congratulations to you too! Expecting next season to be tough but excited for it.

Nice to see the Croydon massive making themselves known.

We've ordered in the pizza and battening down the hatches for tonight, as it could get quite loud out there.

Wot, no Tasty Jerk?! DH went in lockdown once as they were having withdrawal symptoms, think the whole of SE25 (and most of CR7 were there).

actually, when all that CR7 Ronaldo stuff came out in the shops I assumed it was cos it was the local postcode. It was only when I saw it in Oxford St that a hysterical DS explained it was Ronaldo’s number not Thornton Heath !

I am not a football fan but live in the CP ‘catchment’ and excitement is high.

Might pop to our local pub in a Mo’ !
