Also, I read today that we've picked up 33 points in the last 15 games, only Liverpool have done better. Quite astonishing since I feel like we can do quite a bit better. Yes, that's the game that was moved for the cup final. 15 games includes our genuinely excellent form in Dec/Jan. I think it's fair to say we haven't looked quite as convincing in Feb/Mar but you can also point to the League Cup as the reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're FIFTH in the form table for the last 10 games. Palace are SECOND. February was a bad month for us, but we only played one Prem game in March so can't take any form judgement from that month really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Jan 18: Bournemouth (h) - thoroughly dismantled Southampton (a) - good; worst team in the league Fulham (h) - awful second half City (a) - no good Forest (h) - excellent most of first half; poor-ish second half Liverpool (a) - lackluster (for a legitimate reason) West Ham (a) - solid Brentford (h) - ok, not great Leicester (a) - good but they are awful We've gotten enough results to look good in the form table, but the performances haven't been as good as the nine games (all comps) before that. But five of those, including three of the defeats, are firmly in LC excuse territory so you can draw lots of conclusions. If there's one thing worrying me it's that we haven't played a good 90 minutes at home in the league in almost two months. If we can show that next week then I'll be wondering whether we can get 3rd more than if we'll get CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem always bring A game to those, as shown with Gordon home stats against those type of sides. Palace (H) midweek is my biggest fear. Just has all the hallmarks of a drab game , where we go behind and chase losing all shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't bring myself to want them to win the CL mind. Or any other English club. These are our rivals really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 As much as I’m glad they won because it confirms England’s 5th place, even though it was happening in anyway, I want them to lose. I want all the English teams to lose and go out. The Champions League I don’t want any other English team to win because of jealousy, the Europa League, or Conference League I’m less concerned about, but the clubs left are Man Utd, Spurs, and Chelsea, so fuck them.
