1) I think we will finish around 11/12th next season. Will be a much better start than this season.

2) Tactics have been spot on from Pulis! I was worried that we would get boring hoof ball football but it hasn't been like that. There have been the odd game where we have been really boring but we've also played some really nice football and picked up vital points.

3) I would say POTY Speroni, YPOTY Ward.

4) If they play decent then Bolasie and Puncheon. Also Speroni in goal has given us many points this season

5) Many will obviously say the semi final but as I was only 2 I don't remember it.

6) ex player in their prime for me would be AJ don't really remember Wrightt/Bright. AJ in his prime is just what we need up front.

7) You've done well and Suarez has been amazing. (Love your pens tho)

I would take Suarez and you lot can have Jerome. Not our worse player but striker for a striker.

9) 1-1

Just to add I really hope you don't win the league. So many Liverpool shirts coming out now you're doing well and I just can't stand Liverpool fans!!

.

1. I think it depends on our signings this summer. If we can improve the team then I think there will be a lot of teams worse than us I the league next season, but who knows with football.
2. We haven't played as much 'hoofball' as everyone thinks, we've actually played some decent stuff of late.
3. Young POTY - Joel Ward and POTY - Speroni
4. Puncheon and Bolasie
5. Only 17 and have been supporting Palace for about 11 of those years, and as we've been in the championship for most of that, haven't seen many Palace vs Liverpool games. But I imagine a lot of people on here should say the worst memory is when you beat us 9-0.
6. Agree with you - Ian Wright probably would have helped us with our goals coring problem this season.
7. Surprised you've done this well, and would be surprised if you won the title after the result at the week end.
8. No brainer - Take Suarez and would probably give you Moxey.
9. Not sure - depends if we are up for it or not. If not then you'll walk it just like city did on Sunday.

Alright all?

I've joined from a Liverpool site (kopblocks.com) - we're a fairly newish forum that's only been going for a few months. One of the things we've tried to get going is a 'View From That Lot' feature where we get the opinion of whoever our opposition for that week is. Obviously we're facing Palace at the weekend so if you've got a few minutes and don't mind asking a few questions I'd appreciate it!

1. You've made an impressive recovery from a terrible start to the season and already guaranteed your safety - do you think you can consolidate in the Premier League next season or will it be a case of a second season struggle?

We'll be aiming for 40 points/17th place. Same as anyone outside the rich 6.

2. I've not seen much of Palace this season (outside of occasional Match of the Day highlights) - Tony Pulis got a reputation for being a bit 'agricultural' at Stoke but how has he had Palace playing since he came to you?

We all worried about it when Pulis came to the club. However, we have played some excellent football at times this season. Yes we average about 35% possession but we do a lot more than a lot of teams with that 35% possession. No long balls, no long throws just great defending and decent attacking play.

3. As it's football's awards season - who are Palace's Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year?

Player of the year - Probably Ward or Speroni
Young Player of the year - More difficult, maybe Hiram Boateng as he's worked hard to get near the fringes of the squad.

4. Who do you see as being Palace's main threats to Liverpool?

Jason Puncheon and Yannick Bolasie

5. What are your best and worst memories of Palace vs Liverpool over the years?

Most in here will point to the 1990 9-0 loss and 4-3 win as being the worst and best memories but I was only 4 at the time. I'd say the 2-1 Carling Cup win as best and the 5-0 Carling Cup loss as worst.

6. When I was a kid (80s/early 90s) Palace seemed to have loads of players who ended up moving on and making big careers for themselves at some big clubs (Ian Wright's the obvious one but you seemed to have quite a conveyor belt for a while). If you could get one of your ex-players back in the Palace squad and in their prime today who would you pick and what would they add to today's side?

If it's only one then it's much tougher as teams were set up in specific ways for them. AJ would need someone to play perfect through ball passes for him like Michael Hughes used to. Ian Wright would need a good strike partner like he had in Bright. Wilf would probably be the one because our team was very recently set up for him.

7. What have you made of Liverpool this season?

They've done much better than anyone could have expected but appear to have blown the title at the last. I think they'll also be expecting an easy game at Palace and could find themselves surprised.

8. If you could take any of Liverpool's players for Palace and dump your worst player onto us, who'd be packing their bags and filling the Bugatti's tank for the trips along the M6?

We'll take Suarez and we'll give you one of the Holloway signings... Jimmy Kebe maybe?

9. Finally, predictions for Monday night?

CPFC 2 - 1 Liverpool

He was right!!!...and we killed him!!... poor Orpinton Eagles........

1. With Pulis we hopefully can consolidate but I'm happy we're even there to struggle, if we do.

2. Organised would be the word I'd use. Concede possession but not goals.

3. Speroni is in with yet another shout, along with Ward and Jedinak. Young player has to be Ward.

4. Steven Gerrard.

5. 4-3 & 9-0 fairly obviously.

6. Lombardo.

7. Far exceeded my expectation. Showed the benefit of not being involved in Europe. Played good football and got the most out of the squad, particularly some of the lesser known players.

8. Suarez, for all his foibles. He's truly world class. For.. I really don't know. Not got any animosity against any of the squad as they've done a job or are doing one. I'd maybe send Paddy up for a good retirement package.

9. Don't tell me that question number wasn't intentional? 2-0.

Optimistic as ever

Consolidate. Pulis knows his stuff.

2. I've not seen much of Palace this season (outside of occasional Match of the Day highlights) - Tony Pulis got a reputation for being a bit 'agricultural' at Stoke but how has he had Palace playing since he came to you?

Tight, organized defence and quick on the counter attack. Not agricultural.

Not yet decided. Probably Joel Ward.

Chris Armstrong (goals).

Very exciting.

"The course of true love never did run smooth"

Unlike many I have only ever found Liverpool fans to be to be very welcoming and gracious. I have seen your teams play at Selhurst numerous times between 1970 and 2004 before I moved out to Thailand, seen the FA Cup semi-final and been to Anfield four times - every one a defeat with the 9-0 still in my memory as if it were yesterday.

1. You've made an impressive recovery from a terrible start to the season and already guaranteed your safety - do you think you can consolidate in the Premier League next season or will it be a case of a second season struggle?

I hope we can build a team that will perform much as this one has for the past 26 games. We will constantly have relegation on our mind until we hit 40 points but I think finishing around 9th to 14th is likely.

2. I've not seen much of Palace this season (outside of occasional Match of the Day highlights) - Tony Pulis got a reputation for being a bit 'agricultural' at Stoke but how has he had Palace playing since he came to you?

Pulis has never been with a wealthy fashionable club so he works with what he has. We are not playing the same as Stoke did. Whilst he was always my preferred choice to replace Holloway I have been surprised by how exciting the team can play at times.

3. As it's football's awards season - who are Palace's Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year?

POTY: Speroni (Goalkeeper): YPOTY: Ward (Full Back)

4. Who do you see as being Palace's main threats to Liverpool?

He had an off day (as did everyone else albeit quite understandably) against City but if he is up for it then Johnson will face a tough afternoon against Bolasie.

5. What are your best and worst memories of Palace vs Liverpool over the years?

WORST: Actually not the 9-0 (that comes 2nd) but losing 5-0 in the League Cup semi-final where we played ten defenders including Fat Boy Ruddock. BEST: Too easy. FA Cup Semi-Final win. Thanks to all Pool fans who wished us good luck in the final after the game.

6. When I was a kid (80s/early 90s) Palace seemed to have loads of players who ended up moving on and making big careers for themselves at some big clubs (Ian Wright's the obvious one but you seemed to have quite a conveyor belt for a while). If you could get one of your ex-players back in the Palace squad and in their prime today who would you pick and what would they add to today's side?

Kenny Sansom has always been my favourite Palace player. However, I would have Ian Wright in a heartbeat. He would give us goals.

7. What have you made of Liverpool this season?

Superb. Most entertaining side in the league. Unfortunately I believe you will be pipped for the title. No matter, the improvement from the years of relative obscurity to one of the country's top clubs has been fantastic. Well done.

8. If you could take any of Liverpool's players for Palace and dump your worst player onto us, who'd be packing their bags and filling the Bugatti's tank for the trips along the M6?

OUT: Jimmy Kebe. IN: I will be fair and swap like for like so I will take Raheem Sterling thanks.

9. Finally, predictions for Monday night?

Really depends whether we turn up mentally ready to play our 'in you face game.' If we do I think we can we this. Also if City have beaten Everton I believe the fire may have died a little in your players hearts. However a City draw/loss you will be so up for the game. All things considered I am going to go for a Palace win. 2-1.
