Champions League - Europa League - Conference League

[The reds]

I see Palace have got probably the hardest quarter final draw against Fiorentina.

Fiorentina are having a terrible season though.

They didn't win a game in the Serie A until the 16th game. They were bottom 8pts adrift and are now 15th - 5pts clear. A very good turnaround.
7th in form table since the 16th game.

Yes they have picked up but by their standards it's not been very good.

Villa 2 up at Bologna. Looks like it'll be them in the semi if we make it.

3-1 Villa now.

Villa were luckier than us - var offside a gnats whisker and they hit the bar, post and Martinez had a stormer. That Jonathan rowe had cash on toast

Palace winning 3-0 last night is good for us I think. They've got West Ham after the 2nd leg so will hopefully at least take it easy in that game, maybe rest players depending on how hard they are trying in league.

My concern here is they will go for a full strength side in the 2nd leg and play a weakened side against West Ham, which is the worst thing we need

I don't think anyone wants to lose a London derby though.

Palace would love West Ham to go down.

Think Palace will go full strength.

Much less risk of that with a 3-0 lead. Should be able to just grind it out too, not waste too much energy.

Anyone else think that Istanbul song is shite or is it just me?

Not just you. No way I am singing “sniffing all your bags”, think at least half the fans don’t know the words anyway.
I quite like Oh what a night though.

So big question, do we go hard at the Porto game with such a big game on Sunday or play a similar team to the first leg?

Obviously desperate to avoid extra time.
