I left early once. We were 3 down to West Ham in 1981. It was my 21st birthday. I heard a massive cheer as my bus pulled away and thought it might be a consolation for us. Turns out it was their 4th

To get it back on trace, here's some stuff from a Palace fan site (Holmesdale):

"Personally, i think there is an argument for playing our B team against Tottenham, and playing for a 0-0 draw ...especially if we get nothing from the Anfield game".

"How do we use the squad? I would go all in vs Liverpool, rest some players vs Spurs, and hopefully be totally up for it vs Burnley."


Then more chat about how hard done by they are from having one days less rest than us, shed a lil tear ;-(

Edit - fingers crossed Sam does rest a few key players after they turned the dippers over!

Regarding the Chelsea fan comments @dontcallme
No, the penalty, although given, shouldn't have been. Son slid in awkwardly, and it was dreadful decision making, but it was really slow, Moses could easily have avoided it all together. He didn't just exaggerate the contact, or even initiate it. He clearly dives. My initial reaction was that it was a pen, and even when seen form some angles I was unsure. But after viewing all camera angles the BBC produced it was conclusively a dive. Supporting your club doesn't mean that after the event you have to deny the blatant. He blatantly dived to win a pen. If Toby had been sent off for that challenge it would have been a travesty, he never made any heavy contact, there were no studs showing, it wasn't two feet off the ground, there was no attempt to injury an opponent - it was just a clumsy challenge that he realised was clumsy challenge. Why should that be a red? The 'Alli stamp' was clearly an accident - he didn't break his stride, he was running away from Side Show, and the way Side Show's leg buckled unnaturally altered the direction it moved - if that hadn't happened Dele's foot wouldn't have come down on it. We got away with one with Hugo, fair enough - weight that against everything the Chavs got away with, including getting a penalty when in fact it should have been a free-kick the other way and a yellow card to Moses for simulation. As others have said above, Alonso should have had a red and several yellows in the first half alone, and should have gone. Kante and Side Show should also both have had several yellows long before they eventually got one. So, form all that Spurs would have been on 10 players and not awarded a penalty against them, and Chavs should have been down to eight (at minimum) and a goal less. Their point is?

Regarding the Liverpool comments @Col_M
Remarkably even handedness from RAWK, there - and somewhat unexpected. It never ceases to amaze me that so many clubs love to gloat at us (well, I could think of reasons, but not in this post). We were always part of the Big Five, and comparable on trophies with United and the Goons until Mr Scholar kyboshed us. And our rise has come through patience, investment in youth and investment in infrastructure. Why do our aspirations and improvement under these terms bother them so much? Couldn't help laughing in the pre-match section of this thread when someone posted Chav comments. One of said something about want to ahmmer us because of everything our horrible club stood for and I though, yeah, this (above) as opposed to being a stinky (literally) two-bob corrugated shack dwelling nothing of a Nazi club, gifted money stolen form the Russian people after the end of the Soviet Union by a shyster, who has bought success (substantial success for their first time ever). And they haven't even accumulated this modern success with good football and good grace - but rather by cheating, diving, shenanigans and constant unpunished fouling, celebrated by overly gobby fans who think that wumming and classless goading are the same as joyful euphoria. Hate the Goons for who they are, hate the Chavs for what they are - a cancer on football (and society).

@riggi No, I never left a game early in the seventies/eighties - but in those days you could also skip turnstiles, sneak over walls, etc. And other types of unsavory anti-socialism went on, too - getting away from grounds was less of a priority than hanging around and waiting to see if things kicked off.



Yeah, nothing wrong with a bloke sitting behind his keyboard in China/America/Africa telling match going fans what support is all about...nothing wrong with that at all.

Just out of interest, and bearing in mind I might have missed something and am happy for you to straighten me out on it, how do you know he is not from England and not a regular attender at either OT or any other football ground?

Bring me RAWKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last week I was listening to the 606 podcast and a regular Liverpool fan rang in and said something like "I'm telling you now, Liverpool will finish 2nd". And Wrighty said, above Spurs? And this numpty said "yes without a doubt, you heard it here first".

Christ, does that mean we're going to end up 6th?

I sort of want to Mourinho to fail too. Spending all that money on Pogba and the others only to end up in the Europa league would be nice. I've got nothing against Klopp although their fans are wankers, but Mourinho is a class A twat and I'd like nothing more than to see him fail at Utd.

Aye and their fans going into meltdown will be a glorious sight.

I want City to stuff them on Thursday.

No. The first recorded instance of a fan leaving early was observed in 1993.

Spurs v Villa, Spurs took a 1-0 beating & Spurs 'fan' Pat Cleary left 5 mins early to get a jump on the train queues. This kicked off a vicious spiral of early leavers, which many experts believe is the root cause of the subsequent 25 odd years of stagnation & less than optimal results at the club

****! You know what I meant :D

What the statistics don't tell you is the number of clear fouls from behind the referee didn't give.

I genuinely feel the ref was under pressure to not "ruin" a showpiece semi final by sending off players.

Luiz,Ake, and Alonso all lucky to be on the pitch at the end. Persistent fouling is in the laws , it was just not administered as it should have been.

Willian stamped on Wanyama as well.
