One of the best games I’ve been at. Made even sweeter by all the Liverpool fans that had bought tickets in the home end and were giving it the biggun when they went 3-0 up.

im not as qualified as @ynot, but having been to wembley 3 times as a Palace fan and had a season ticket for nearly 10 years, the 3-3 game and seeing Suarez crying on the pitch is my highlight as a game going fan

Watched the first half in a pub, and then went to a Hold Steady gig with 3 friends who are Man United fans and they would not stop showing me their phones.

Was a great game but a few others beat that for me.

Sheffield Wednesday v Palace. 2-2. Actually 10 years ago yesterday. We were in administration and deducted 10 points. We needed a point to stay up. Sheffield Wednesday needed to win to stay up. Frantic last 10 minutes but we managed it. A week or so later was the Lloyds bamk protests to persuade Lloyds to sell the ground to Steve Parrish who was on the verge of buying us. If it failed we were minutes from being wound up, and if we had lost to Sheffield Wednesday we would have been relegated and likely wound up.

Others Palace 4 Liverpool 3. 1990 FA cup semi final as a kid. I still vividly remember that day.

2001 - Stockport 0 Palace 1 - we needed to win on the last day. Dougie Freedman scored with 3 minutes left, we stayed up Stockport went down. Absolute carnage in the away end,

Brighton 1 Palace 3. Brightons first league defeat at the Amex. They were 1 up with 15 minutes to go, we scored three in 5 minutes or so.

1997 play off final. Palace 1 Sheffield United 0. Was going to extra time until David Hopkin did this in the 90th minute.

60 minute matches? Rolling subs? Liverpool would essentially be winning the local U12’s tournament.

Was obvious this was coming ever since everything got cancelled but we’re starting to see the cogs in motion for an absolute shitshow now.

Relegation-threatened PL clubs leveraging to stay in the division for another year with the (reasonable-ish) argument that neutral venues or behind-closed doors games would effect the integrity of the competition. The EFL / Leeds suggesting legal action…

The only two non-messy conclusions I can imagine: five or so of the most-effected (promotion/relegation) clubs just swallowing whatever’s decided (fat chance) or allowing Leeds and West Brom to go up with no relegated sides and a 22/23-team (no League Cup?) league next year.
