Anyone going to this? I feel bad for going. I think I have been 5 times. I've definitely seen two 1-1 draws, two 1-0 losses, which includes the relegation season, oh and a 4-1 loss. 6th time lucky?

I'm sure he seemed quicker when he first broke into the team? He has great feet, which often buys him a yard. But he looks really slow and weak, a lot of the time. Barca I'm sure he'd get loads of chances. They need to improve their front three.

I'm sure I don't have the facilities at my disposal that he does, but I was on crutches 6 weeks when I injured my knee in October. They take a long time. As I've mentioned and bored everyone to tears with on here. I had ACL, LCL and popliteus tendon surgery and was walking without crutches after less than a couple of weeks. You're obviously all just a bunch of tarts No, in all seriousness, it was a pain in the arse and I had to have that Forrest Gump brace on for 6-7 weeks. Even though I felt like I was back walking ok. Just got the all clear, actually. So I can properly return to football and ruin it again

Yeah. I saw him just before the game on Saturday and he still seemed to be heavily relying on his crutches, to get about. It must be a month since the op? I'm surprised he still needs to use them, TBH. But obviously everyone is different with their recoveries and he is a pro sportsman, after all.

May well be overthinking it. But seeing as it has been over 20 years. You would have thought the club and players would be well up for it.

I read that as him asking, what's the worst run of form, for a team that stays up? So, Palace could end up with 1 win in 21 games, but avoid relegation. You would have thought that would be some kind of record? No idea where you'd even check, to find that out?

Isn't the guy that runs it, a complete and utter bellend? I'm sure I put that account on block. Used to always be pro-Pardew and would never have anyone criticising the club.

I thought the same. Need them to beat Southampton and/or Arsenal to lose at City. If they need a win against us, to guarantee second place. I think they would be fired up and would be looking to break the hoodoo.

It would obviously be ideal, if we win on Saturday and Norwich and sunderland, both lose their next two. Going into the final game needing a result, is a bit of a worry. I think if we do need to get something from Spurs, I just hope they have 2nd place secured. Have they ever finished above Arsenal in the Premier League era?

8. I think we'll beat Villa and maybe manage a draw against Spurs. But I think sunderland will get points. I think they'll lose to Chelsea. But more than likely beat Everton and Watford. I think Norwich will probably beat Watford and lose the other two. So it's not them I'm worried about.

Wasn't keen on the signing and I thought we'd overpaid. Not that it should matter, as it's nice to see us finally spending. But I just couldn't detach myself from HBA leaving on a free and spending about £30m on 3 players, trying to replace him. TBF to Townsend. It didn't take long to change my opinion of him. I thought he looked decent enough against Everton, when the whole team was shit and he was lacking fitness. Then I was very impressed when I saw him live, against WBA. It's a shame he got injured, as he has contributed to what, 6-7 goals since his arrival? If he had stayed fit, then perhaps we would have 2-3 more points? Who knows? Even when he is having a bad game, he runs his bollocks off. He definitely runs into traffic too often and regularly holds onto the ball for too long. But I love his attitude and passion and he seems to have bought into the club. I hope he stays if we go down. He'd light it up for us in the Championship.

Pretty sure it was blood, he was getting treatment for it straight after and his nose was bleeding. Gross Really?! That is fucking rank.

That Dier foul could have been a straight red, IMO. It was one of the rare occasions, when a foul didn't look as bad in slow mo. In real time, it looked absolutely brutal and it was two footed, if memory serves?

When the crowd spontaneously started an impromptu rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone, I welled up a bit, TBH. Really wasn't expecting it and I thought it was a nice touch. It is a great song and really gets the atmosphere going. I've always been a bit jealous of Liverpool fans being able to sing it before matches.

That really doesn't read brilliantly for Tottenham I'm not sure they'll get Walker for the booger flicking, or Lamela for treading on Fabregas. But Dembele has to be getting a 3 match ban. Did they change the laws, regarding an official seeing the incident? If the linesman admits to seeing that, then can they retrospectively ban him?

I thought he played alright? Still not involved enough and it may just be because my expectations are extremely low ATM, when it comes to Gini. But he was running riot at the start of the second half, when he went more central. I thought Palace were shit scared of him and struggled whenever we got him on the ball.

I liked how he tried to let the game flow and it was good to see him not overreact at times. However, there were so many blatant things he missed/bottled. Dier at the end, Mason trying to hug and head butt Hazard, Rose and Walker probably could have gone, and all. Can't really blame him for missing the snot throwing from Walker, the 'stamp' from Lamela and the gouging from Dembele.

Saw him after the game on Saturday. He is a right unit. Handsome guy

Dover let our acca syndicate down for £250 each on Saturday. They were 3/4, as well.

This. Best case scenario I could see us winning the next two but Sunderland have looked solid and played with high intensity for weeks now. I'm also covering old ground here but Everton, Stoke and Watford have completely given up. Can anyone really see them not getting 5 points at least from that? So a ten then? No point going nine if you think we're not going to finish above them. We need to win all three and I just can't see that happening. Hoping for Forest away the Friday night of the first weekend of the season. f***ing hell, not this again People get far too upset about the f***ing RELEGATIONMETER I do not 100% think we are gone and I don't think we're dead and buried, like I did a while back. I think with the way we have been playing of late. There is every chance of us getting 6 points from the next 3. Possibly more, depending on what Spurs have to play for. I did the predictor thingy and had us going down on goal dif, with sunderland drawing with Watford and Everton, losing to Chelsea and beating Stoke. Saying "I just don't see us finishing above sunderland." Is not me saying, we are 100% not going to finish above them. I just don't think it is very likely. If they win two more games. Then at the very least, we're going to need to beat Spurs

Every weekend, I seem to start liking this man a little more. I know he keeps brushing it off, as he doesn't want to talk about going down. But if the club and Rafa, were to release a statement before the end of the season. Stating that he will remain at the club, regardless of which league we are in. Then I honestly don't think I'd care too much about going down. Getting relegated and then appointing someone like Nigel Pearson, would be a massive kick in the bollocks.

Still a 9. I think we'll finish above Norwich and I fancy us to win the next two. I just don't see us finishing above sunderland.

This is ridiculous, the bloke had you finishing 5th, and now has kept you up comfortably. Careful what you wish for. With a club in disarray, a deluded, stubborn manager with increasingly bizarre selections, woeful underachievement and our best players likely to leave, I think I'm best suited to talk on this one mate.

Fair point on the first one. Tiote's goal against Man City, clearly should have stood IMO. But it had pundits and experts, disagreeing. I'm not having the second point, though. You honestly think, that with a video replay, with multiple angles, where they can draw a line across the pitch. It wouldn't be possible to see if a player's foot, head, knee or whatever, is offside?
