Alongside the fact that we are a bit of a bogey side for Stoke and got 19 points off them since we came up!

Because they moved the time forward, we have four hours of drinking in Stoke after the match (before our train home) so I would appreciate it if people didn't wind up the natives too much!

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

A tad perplexed,....

I thought this was going to be a thread about nose-candy and prostitutes. Take your own gear, (don't trust those northern monkies), and remember to bag-it before entry.

I think you're better off waiting for WBA. Stoke fans may get the hump if Palace fans are celebrating whilst they are relegated. Plus there's no guarantee we'll be safe at stoke.

I disengage, I turn the page.

I think that our goal difference is as good as the mathematical point. I remember Palace doing a lap of honour after an end of Season game at Selhurst Park with Oldham having three games still to play against good sides. As we all know, Oldham won those three matches, we went down and boy did we have egg on our faces then. It is a bit different this time as Clubs below us still have to play one another which will put them in a position of wiping one another out. Stoke have to play Swansea away, Southampton have to play Swansea away and Swansea have to play Bournemouth at home. They cannot all get maximum points from those games. Added to that, Huddersfield have to play Man City away and Arsenal at home. However, that being said, I have supported Palace long enough to know that you cannot take anything for granted but I am quietly confident.

Am I the only one that still want a us to focus on finishing as high up the table as we can? There's still 6 points on offer.

I think we'd all like that but realistically the highest we can finish is 10th, unless anyone else does what we did to Leicester and they lose their other two games as well.

Optimistic as ever
