Normally at this point ahead of this fixture i am bouncing around like the preverbial Duracel Battery, having sung football songs in my head for the past 4 hours. I'm normally counting the clock down till i can get out early and straight in the pub.
Today, i am lifeless. I've a splitting headache, and completely tired. I haven't felt so non-descript about any match i'm going to for years, so the fact i feel this way ahead of a Palace one shocks and saddens me.

All the same I'll be there tonight and cheer the boys on with what ever voice I have left.

I've been feeling a bit like that the last few days but in the last couple of hours I've started to get butterflies in my stomach and I'm itching for my first pint.
But its Palace, one of the few games when the fans are really up for it, and even though I think its gonna be horrible, we will lose, and the nigels will outsing us and generally take the piss, I cant miss it.
Mind you, if we win.............
i know too many palace goons who if we win i can't really give it too but if we lose and if and when we go down i'm just gonna be receiving shit loads of abuse, i know it's part and parcel of following a team but doesn't make it any easier to take.
might not be able to make it due to work committments and there's a small part of me (sadly) that wont mind if i miss the humiliation ...
Having said that, I bet we'll spend the second half on the concourse though ;-)
Won't attend aways anymore and when the goals against are registered by SSN I barely raise an eyebrow.
I guess the worst part of this was my reaction the the win at Norwich...."Whoopee shit, we'll get stuffed on Saturday" and of course we did.
I can't wait for this season to end.
Watching the rugby?
I was just saying to the guys in the office that I never thought I'd see the day that I'd miss this fixture and not be bothered.
Don't think I could stomach losing to the mugs and have to put up with the p*ss taking.
My post from the Kinsella fans thread:
You are right Tel but I am feeling that malaise.
Night games are difficult at the best of times for me but I have other stuff going on and although I've brought my ticket with me I really wonder whether it is worth giving myself a lot of extra aggravation to watch a spineless performance from our lot and listen to the Nigels giving it large.
You missing another home game tonight Dave?!
This game feels like how I felt before that Tuesday night game against the yids when we went down. I keep saying to people why are we down there on paper we do have a good team!
I want to go to bed tonight with a massive smile on my face! Us fans deserve this win tonight after what we have seen over the last season!
Winning this game is the only thing that will take the edge of us being relagated.
Then I will go away feeling p**ssed off and say thats it for the season and decide to wait till next season before going agan(even though have a season ticket)
Will feel the same tomorrow morning and as the week goes on my resolve weakens and I'm back watching the reds again
Just shows how depressing things are right now!
Just off to put my head in the oven.
If we lose tonight, i'll actually turn it on.
