Oh b0llocks, City 2-0 up. I've switched off. Who knows,

I find it disturbing the way every pundit has disregarded the Palace game, as if they?re a fly to be swatted away from your Pimms on a hot day.
They?ve completely overlooked our ability to fark up against anyone from top to bottom.

While I e that we can **** up anything, I think the reason we're expected to win if that the lovely Eagles manager has said he'll rotate everyone to rest them for their final.

{And as an aside, not a bad 12 months for a team that had never won a trophy before. FAC, Charity and Ganpati willing a Euro bling to boot.}

If he's got any sense, he'd not only rest the first XI but all 7 or so subs he could expect to potentially use. No point in risking an injury to your 3rd CH. Might need to bring him on to shut up shop in Europe.

So we could be playing their kids.

He isnt going to take the piss that much. He'll rest 4 or 5 but not all of them. And if he fielded the kids, we would NEVER hear the end of it....

And we still might not win

We struggle enough in most games. Add the pressure of a title showdown and there is not telling how badly we could **** it up.

Beat Burnley (please God!), and cross our fingers for Tuesday night.

It isnt the opposition that worries me. It's the occasion.

If we go there needing to win, it really is 50/50. No idea what will happen.....

60 mins in and it's still 0-0. Word spreads from Manchester that they're 2-0 up. Palace score from a corner.

30 mins to score 2 and rescue the title.

Even the positive me is thinking 1-0 up with 20 to play, City home and dry against Villa.

We drop deeper and deeper as injury time draws nearer.... a succession of balls into the box and corners.

I can hardly stand to think about it

'And it falls to WHAARRRTTTOONNNNNNN'.

Arsenal players crumble to their knees as news from Manchester makes its way onto the pitch. Meanwhile; Wharton has removed his shirt and has jumped into the Palace supporters who are in a state of ecstasy.

I think I have PTSD.

Post. I think the last 20+ years have left deep scars on my psyche.

Don't be that way John - our only European trophies were every bit as Mickey Mouse

Ours are fairly Micky Mouse but the Conference is literally one millimetre behind the Intertoto Cup as the ultimate Micky Mouse of all Micky Mouse cups.

Don't get me wrong. If that happens I will be ****ing crushed.

But it will serve us right. And it would be a fitting way for us to blow it. Clinging to these 1-0 wins was never a wise approach to take to every game. And if you do it every week, it will cost you.

And if it costs us at Palace, and we lose the title on goal difference, it will be because of this.

Beat Burnley, and ****ing pray that Bournemouth can help us out. I'm too old for this. Don't know how much more I can take

Quite simply, while it would have been nice to have wrapped up the title by now, we're in a position where we're ahead with City breathing down our necks and we just need to win at home to Burnley and away at the Eagles who'll be resting players not fighting to a vital 3 pts.

If we can't do that, we don't deserve to be champions.

Yes, the RB situation isn't ideal. But we have so many options everywhere else. It's not like a CL semi with Kiwior and MLS at the back, MnM up top and only Ethan on the bench.

I'm hating it. I keep waking up at night worrying. If we blow it (and therefore also blow the CL final) then how will I ever leave the house or talk to someone ever again?

I think we're all feeling the same. One way or the other I am just going to be glad when it is over.

I will be in Bournemouth's debt forever if they do us a favour. I'll never forget it.

They are Rich's second club if I'm not mistaken. I had a connection to them back in the 70's when they were Bournemouth & Boscombe FC and their fans just called them Boscombe.

G'waaaaaarrrrnn Boscombe!!!
