Saturday:

Tottenham Hotspur v Watford - Tottenham win
Manchester City v Hull City - Manchester City win
Middlesbrough v Burnley - Probably a draw, win for Burnley should finish Borough's hopes but win for Borough keeps Burnley catchable.
Stoke City v Liverpool - not crucial to us, Stoke still just about catchable
West Bromwich Albion v Southampton - not crucial to us, Southampton could still be caught
West Ham United v Swansea City - Draw or West Ham win
Bournemouth v Chelsea - Chelsea win

Sunday:

Sunderland v Manchester United - never want Man United to win
Everton v Leicester City - Everton win, we play Leicester next week.

Monday:

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal - Avoid a loss, hopefully pulling a point away or least maintaining distance from Swansea and Hull. Catching up one or two above us.

Thanks,

I'm gonna have a full English with sh!t Australian sausages,
I'm gonna have a kickabout with my nine year old boy.
I'mm gonna have a few beers in the evening,
but most of all I am not gonna worry about it.

I think the main focus is points for us, not lack o points for others.

Sam said as much when he alluded to 31 points from 29 games (prior to Weds) and he referred to our run as an "unbeaten run" rather than a "winning streak".

We're in safe hands. Even Hennessey's.

 


So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

Yep. These pretty much equal "Lawro's Predictions" (see the topic I started earlier today). Let's hope, eh?

 


Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

A Palace win is all I care about, the others will still be below us.
I have a number of Gooner mates and have been waiting years for us to beat them.

It's about time we got 3 points against them! Gotta put their 3rd choice keeper under lots of pressure especially as Koscielney is missing too!

Think the days of trying to catch the teams above us are long gone. Personally want want Leicester & Burnley to win so that when we play them they have absolutely nothing to play for. Will certainly be a case of job done for Burnley so none of their players will want injuries before their hols and Leicester wont want any injuries / bans before champions league. If they beat Everton I wouldn't be surprised if they rested a few against us.

Also want West Ham to win, keep Swansea at least 3 points away from us.

Agree about West Ham but need to think about only Palace. Much more likely that Swansea will be relegated vs West Ham so need West Ham to win.

Swansea have been playing well without getting the results recently and they have one of the more generous fixture lists of those at the bottom.

Our home fixtures are crucial now, Leicester Hull and Burnley will be very tough in my opinion. I think we will be frustrated in those games more than we'd like to believe we will. I think we have to go unbeaten at home from now. At least 5pts from 5 home games, and then realistically a draw at Liverpool or Manchester United. 6 points from 8 should be enough with the teams around us with only 7 games to go. If we get 6 points, Swansea would need 10 with our goal difference being 18 better than theirs.

I expect Hull to pick up more points than us.

The big fear from Swansea is if they suddenly go on a run, I think our run of wins is done, it's now a hard slog to the finish where we'll probably have to bounce back from a defeat here and there and momentum will be harder to maintain. I hope I'm wrong about that and we surprise everyone again with a win against Arsenal and Leicester. Arsenal have a defence that we can hurt, we just need to be good out off possession as Allardyce has reiterated time and time again, injuries have hurt us and we need the squad players to step up better than they did against Southampton.

I've decided I definitely want West Ham to win. Scraping 17th with Swansea below us will do me fine come the end of the season.

This weekend? Lee Westwood to win the Masters.

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

This. As much as I'd love to see Wet Sham suffer and/or get relegated, it's all about the Palace and this result benefits us the most. Just need to have three teams worse off than us.
