A light show + Coldplay would be enough for me to walk away from the club I loved

Well Everton have gone strong and looking at their bench there’s only a couple of youngsters so less of the moaning Dychey.

Yeah I'm surprised he's gone strong after his comments about the number of fixtures recently. I suppose they're off for a week after this and Palace don't play for weeks.

A shame Fulham have Rotherham at home tomorrow, they'll be well rested for next Wednesday.

Always thought Coldplay's debut was their best stuff, Shiver, Yellow and Don't Panic are great. They got less interesting after that.

Probably not an unfair shout, but they are known as music to wet the bed to in my circles.

I don't mind that, I quite like those posh lads Keane's debut album, I just find Coldplay boring.

Other guy- commentator. At it now " Everton in great form in the league"...have they not just lost 3 on the trot?

Palace fans doing my head in, reminds me of a Euro away somewhere like Olympiacos, contact droning of the same or similar song.

Goes well with the endless, persistent droning of the commentary team.

If not obvious....the quality in this game is LOW.

Palace must have the most uninspiring set of fullbacks going, don’t think anyone of them can actually cross the halfway line.

It's a fucking joke that the likes of this and Spurs-Burnley gets put on TV. Nobody wants to watch it. FA Cup 3rd round and the non league teams all get ignored.

Everton are shit on a stick at the best of times.

New year's resolution by some of their supporters I'm guessing?

Palace not looking like they an score in a month of Sundays without Olise as expected. Everton always have a scrappy set piece in them.

Palace never have a decent striker do they? Always a tricky wide player and that's it. Workmanlike midfield and old school back four that never go forward. I know it's Hodge but every manager they have it's the same.

Be fair. 8 pm away, on TV. Thursday night, peeing down in London after Christmas. Won’t get home until 3 possible 4 in the morning. Actually amazing they have such a large following down there. Total shit from the FA regarding fans.

Of course, but they always flex about how they sell out every away game. They're entitled to near enough that full end in the cup, they've got less than half of it.

We'd still have sold that full end out on high credits.

They’re entitled to around 5,000 tickets, the Arthur Wait Stand is 10,000 I think.

Think they’ve taken their maximum allocation, unless Palace offered them more than they needed to, albeit they haven’t sold them all by the looks of it.

The magic of the cup.

FA Cup 3rd round, featuring PL teams, is the equivalent of the 12:30 Saturday game. Lethargic and lifeless. Players are fucked after all the Christmas and new year games. Should have the break early Jan and then the cup after it (no replays). And seed the draw so there's no all PL ties.
