The Everton game particularly riles me. Not because it was Fat Sam but because Everton were fucking woeful, definitely the worst side to come up here this season and they fucking beat us. Think they only went into our box once or twice the whole game.

The only spawny winning run Pardew's had was the one in 14/15. The seasons before that and at Palace he actually had some talent at his disposal which would snatch wins, the major troughs in form is because he's a shit manager.
Looking at their fixtures, if they don't win at least 3 of the next 6 they're as good as gone imo.
They've won 1 league match in 25. It's not going to happen is it?
We went down in 15/16 with 37. I think that'll be enough to stop up, and that's 3 more wins, or 2 wins and 3 draws from 11 games. Very doable.
We'll stay up, like.
Big moment of the game was Diame winning the ball off of Martial and leaving him in a heap on the floor imo. Was early on, but I think it woke up and showed to the crowd that something special can happen in the game. And it did. Whey aye.
Its almost a mantra for Sky, good player at a club outside the top 6 will be at a top 6 club soon. They did it to Merino earlier in the season as well.
