Eh Palace down a goal. They're not playing with their best team but surprised to see Clyney still on the bench after conceding. This team looks pretty awesome with their regular three (and Zaha of course) but without them, they look almost as if they do belong a division down.
Guess they think mid-table survival's better than FA Cup distractions.
FA Cup isn't interesting for most clubs, they tend to play with substitutes and test them there. Crystal Palace won the game with 2 goals to 0. Newcastle lost its game. Chelsea is leading with 4 goals in the half time although I see them playing with top players.
There will be games between West Ham - Leeds and ManU - Aston Villa that might eliminate a serious threat for the title
Most clubs in the so-called Big Four or Big Six, I guess, maybe not, at least not in these early rounds. But the trophy's still got a lot of prestige and in my mind, a big chance for the lower sides to get some confidence, get some medals, get some prize money, and don't forget, the winner gets a spot in Europa League too. That's worth a hell lot of money for any team outside the normal league qualification places.
Palace won after fighting back a goal down by the way. Newcastle the biggest shock, Trippier will be having a nightmare or two haha. Amazing games coming up, and we have TWO non-league teams who made it through!
