My favourite Palace games in my life time (in no particular order), a thread:
Though thereās been some great games this season, I havenāt included any because its just not been the same watching from home.
This was fun, Iāll add more as they come to me. Hope you enjoy.

West Ham 1 vs 3 Palace - 2015
This game is up there for me as such an enjoyable one. Hot, sunny day away at The Boleyn ground with 3 points.
Murray bullied the West Ham back 4 all game, grabbed a brace & was sent off. I almost love this game for his fighting performance alone.

Palace 2 - 1 Liverpool - 2001 Worthington Cup Semi Final
Although quite young, this game was one of the first games that I fell in love with Palace. Drawn to giants Liverpool in the semis, we won the home leg 2-1. Top goal from Rubins.
We wonāt talk about the reverse leg!

Palace 3 - 2 Sunderland - 2004 Play Off Semi Final Home Leg
What a tense play off fixture. After going 1-0 down relatively early, I was fearing the worst. A masterclass from AJ turned this round quickly and we took a 1 goal lead into the reverse leg. Utter, utter limbs.

Palace 5 - 0 Leicester - 2018
Arguably one of the best performances since weāve returned to the Premier League. With the likes of Cabaye, Loftus-Cheek, Zaha & co. all on fire, we destroyed a good Leicester side that day. Top day from start to finish.

Chelsea 1 - 2 Palace - 2017
.This is one of my favourite ever away days, easily. Before we could finish celebrating Wilfs goal, Benteke does you know what. The 5 minute turnaround, the flares, the noise, the goals - just incredible.
What a game.

Liverpool 1 - 2 Palace - 2017
Benteke on the double. This game had us see Benteke at his best. 1-0 down at HT to a Coutinho worldy free kick, to come away and win this was unreal. 2 great goals from Christian and the celebration with Sakho to rub it in.

Palace 3 - 2 Brighton - 2018
The first home game against Brighton since their promotion. So nervous, so excited. To go 2-0 up so early I was overjoyed. Some nervy times but top day from start to finish. The sun, the beers, the chants & 3 points against your rivals - Perfect.

Palace 3 - 1 Wolves FA Cup - 2010
A right back, playing up front? A mad decision turning out to be a great one. Danny Butterfield with his perfect hat trick firing us into the next round of the cup. Palace had also just been plunged into administration
Who was in goal you say?

Sheffield Wednesday 1 - 2 - Palace 2010
Survival Sunday. So much emotion. The header from Lee, why didnt Butterfield just clear it, the finish from Ambrose, why didnāt Stern John just square it, Purse frightening us at the end, Clint Hill barging off the Wednesday fans. Amazing.

Portsmouth 2 - 4 Palace - 2001
The Dougie masterclass. Although not the most memorable game for some, this game was such a boost for our survival that season with a win against relegation rivals Portsmouth. Luckily, both clubs stayed up on the final day. Dougie to the rescue.

Stockport 0 - 1 Palace - 2001
Of course this game was next. I remember watching this one from home, terrified for the entire 90. Dougie coming close time and time again. A really terrible game of football then in the 88th, Dougie produces you know what. Palace fans erupted.

Palace 5 - 0 Brighton - 2002
Steve Coppells return to Selhurst Park in charge of our bitter rivals. New signing Andy Johnson scores his first hat trick for the club and what better side to score it against?
From this day, AJ was my favourite player and has been ever since.

Man United 1 - 2 Palace - Carling Cup QF
The game in which Ambrose stunned United. The game which Fergie decided Zaha was his man. No one had us down to win this one, and we booked ourselves a semi final in style beating Man United at Old Trafford.

Brighton 0 - 2 Palace - Play Off Semi Final 2013
Zahaaaa OH YES. Need I say more ?
Quite possibly my favourite ever moment as a Palace fan. The limbs in that away end were something else.

Palace 1 - 0 Watford - Play Off Final 2013
After rolling over Brighton in the semi final as arguably underdogs, a nail biting final against Watford sees us return to the Premier League.
The Speroni save, the Ward clearance & the Phillips pen has Watford fans crying to this day

Watford 1 - 2 Palace - FA Cup Semi Final 2016
This was the first time really in my life we had really gone for it in the cup. To even get to the semis was an incredible feeling. My life peaked at FT.
An added bonus to this game was I even missed Deeneys goal getting a beer.

Brighton 0 - Palace 1 - 2020
One of the only good things to come out of the year 2020.
Iād not experienced limbs quite like that in a long long time.
The fact we started off a horrible winless run for Brighton made this win 10x better.

Palace 3 - 0 Spurs - 2005
Well in need of a survival boost, this was a game not many of us probably expected anything from. To go out and win this convincingly against a good Spurs side was top draw.
Granville with the honourable mention!

Palace 3 - 3 Liverpool - 2014
Crystanbul. 3-0 down at HT I was fearing a repeat of the 9-0, and was almost ready to go home. On comes Gayle, and the rest is history. One of the best ever comebacks. The tears from Suarez, and putting the nail in Gerrards title dream coffin.

Palace 1 - 0 Chelsea - 2014
All season I was craving a good result against one of the top sides. Being our first season back in the Prem I was gasping for it. What a performance from Speroni and what a kind bloke John Terry is for scoring our goal for us.

Hull 0 - 1 Palace - 2013
I remember this game as such an important one. A wet and windy yet vital 3 points that we needed as from what I remember from this game we kicked on and started a good run of form. It felt like such a relief of a win. Bannan with the goal.

Crystal Palace 1 - 1 Arsenal - 2004
Under the Selhurst lights, up came the Arsenal side that had finished last season unbeaten, earning āThe Invinciblesā title. Fully expecting a drumming, we put in a solid performance and managed to knick a 1-1 draw. Aki with a poachers goal.

Palace 4 - 0 Hull - 2017
Final game of the season, scorching hot day at Selhurst. Tensions and nerves were high, needing a result to stay up. A relief - we go a goal up inside 3 mins, end up winning 4-0 and a Maguire disasterclass for Hull. Elated.

City 2 - 3 Palace - 2018
This is up there not only for the win against the Champions, but more so for that absolute screamer Andros pulled out the bag. The moment the ball hit that net was a moment like no other. Never seen anything like it. Literally amazing. What a result, too

Spurs 0 - 1 Palace - 2016
A tough fixture away to Spurs in the cup, I for one was expecting the run to end with this one. We had a tough run that year and Spurs was one of them. Kelly rippling the net at the back post sealed the deal. Great day and great result.

Palace 3 - 0 Arsenal - 2017
We seemed to struggle against Arsenal when it came to getting results against the ābig 6ā.
Friday night under the Selhurst lights, we finally beat them and thumped them 3-0. Cabaye at his best with a class goal & Townsend with an honourable mention.

Arsenal 2 - 3 Palace - 2019
One of my favourite ever away days. First time at the Emirates funnily enough. Incredible start, at 1-1 thought weād blown it but went on to get the win. Scenes outside the ground after too. An away day Iāll never miss moving forward. Top day.
