Fuggen international breaks... again...    :actions1:

We're off to Selhurst Park to face the same Palace side that parked the bus against us last season and snatched a win off the back of a JT own-goal... dare-say that vengeance is in order, no? Palace are currently sitting precariously above the drop zone and their home record at the moment is somewhat patchy. We've now got the means of shattering parked buses and that our defensive frailties seem to have been addressed there can only be one 'logical' result here. If they try the same game plan they did last year they're going to get absolutely dicked.

Need to pick up three points here as City play Spurs earlier in the day and we go to Old Trafford the week after.

 
I feel slightly more confident about this game this season than last.  Last season we struggled to perform against the so called "smaller" teams, and this was a prime example.

I think we'll go at them, and with a clinical striker and some creativity from midfield we should be able to take it.  Can't see many changes, unless something happens to one of our lads during the international break.

I think Ramires is back for this one too, so we may see him feature.

 
3 points is a must and I think we will get them. Hate that c**t Warnock so a win would be all the sweeter!

 
Toughest game of the season in my opinion had loads of respect for palace last season but hard feeling giving them respect when they have a proper d**khead like Warnock in charge. That's why england have no top coaches because c**ts like him keep getting hired and do f**k all

 
Almost forgot that Pulis was forced out of Palace for some insane reason, really wasn't looking forward to going up against him as, unlike Wenger, he has a habit of getting wins against the big lads.

I think we'll win a lot easier now that Pulis is gone.

hmmm, hope not. Always think we are a much better all-round balanced team without him. However, he's a Jose fav so I suspect he'll play.

 
Tough game.

The combination of the international break and the atmosphere at their ground make it a tough one.

However IF Costa and co are fit for this we should have too much for them...no easy games in this league though.

3-1 win but of course would take a dull 1-0.

He wanted more money so he could buy more higher caliber players, but their board wouldn't do it.
 
We owe them 1 after they knocked us out in this feature few months ago. With Pulis gone, they won't be the same team, Wancock is just a c*, I still remember him from that game at QPR 2 years ago. I just read Brazil is playing Argentina in a money game in China, so I expect Oscar, Willian won't make the team this game.

 
Colin and his chums entertain us on the 18th.

Let's smash them.

 
This match feels forever away. 

I'm getting Chelsea withdrawal symptoms. 

 
I detest international weeks.

I need my fix of Diego and co lording it over the rest.

 
So will the yellow kit get another run out or will we get our first glimpse of the Matrix... I mean our third kit. 

Is Ramires set to be fit for this one?

I've seen that Hazard isn't starting tonight for Belgium as a precaution for a small injury, hopefully nothing too serious. 

Hopefully Courtois is fit for this one too. 

 
Ramires should be back I heard, Hazard may be a doubt but if it's just a toe injury as reported then ca't be that serious.

I'm thinking yellow again...let's hope it's not a see saw nerve shattering goal fest like last time we had it at Everton.

I think Courtois is ok as he has been posting he's feeling much better on his social media sites. Will Jose keep with Cech though since he done nothing wrong when he came on and looked solid?
