No worries Palace will go into the Pardleshell in the second half. 2-1.

Fuck!

We need a nice West Ham win here.

New low.

Plenty of hilarity to come from this thread yet.

Continually played while Hatem was on the bench.

I give him 5 mins before he hobbles off.

Proper cushty innit.

7-0

Home to QPR will be the one. Lose or draw that and they're in the mix.

Bolasie will be on the bench forever.

Gay.

Why put out the leg when you have a chance to kick Kebab hair in the face.

True.

They say football isn't bent.

Blocking the keepers sight. NO goal.

Gone.

Love the way you've balanced that in your mind.

Could go down but for 3/4 easy home games.

It's all so very strange. Before his appointment as Manager/Head Coach/whatever at Spurs, he'd been quietly building his power base for a while. Nobody was really sure what he actually did, but he clearly had the ear of the chairman and was supposedly part of the panel making transfer decisions (him, Levy, AVB and Baldini, off the top of my head). He seemed to be almost unaccountable, yet powerful - almost poisonously so. Then for some reason, he decided to throw this position of power away to pretend to be a manager for half a season. The only thing I can think is that he's breathtakingly arrogant exceedingly confident in his own abilities. FWIW, I thought he did a pretty good job, given his complete lack of experience and coaching badges. He took the opportunity to throw some kids in and got good results for the most part. I thought his interviews were refreshingly blunt and honest too. I do think that there's something of a Pardew element, in that he's a bit of a chancer who isn't really a coach, more an old-school manager. I think he's blagging it, but that could still be just enough to keep them up. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Sir Les and a couple more familiar faces down there before long. I think Sherwood fancies himself as a sort of new wave Harry Redknapp. Spot on.

See what's going on mid March. The tide will have started to turn and it won't be a few lone voices. Lovely. They will lose their next 3 PL games and then QPR at home if they don't win that then the shit will hit the magimix. Their run-in is Chelsea, Liv, ManU and Swansea.

Carvers low expectations are very revealing.

Pink hands.

Words fail me.
