I think we are still favorites for relegation and despite our brilliant January acquisitions our squad remains on paper the weakest in the premier. We the fans can make the difference if we don't get above ourselves and keep cheering every point and don't get down with inevitable setbacks. Key for us is to keep the momentum going against Everton and Manure. A point against each and we can keep the positivity going into the crucial games to follow. Lose both and we may fatally dip. If we win one of those even I, the most pessimistic supporter will believe we have a chance.

A 3 point haul on Wednesday would help lots Not a hope in hell of winning at Everton.

Interesting choice of wording: "Will we survive?" Yes, absolutely. Whether we remain in the premier league or not, we won't be having Hillsborough-type games for absolute survival, nor will we be protesting outside Lloyds again any time soon. However, for what it's worth, I've had an unshakable belief that we could stay up from the start of the season. It'll be a close-run thing (and by no means a certainty), but I see no reason to change this. One thing that's happened is I've certainly lost all fear of us playing the bigger teams. We've now played some of the best teams in the world, and I don't believe we've ever looked out of place. We've struggled to get the ball in the back of the net so far, but at least Ince and Murray will help this. Ultimately, we've shown we can piss with the big boys, and I reckon we'll be bringing some upsets before the end of the season. Also, we're expected to get relegated every season since the last admin. I say long may it continue; if I can get 18/1 to stay up again next season, i'll be quite happy...

I quite fancy us to take 1 point each off Everton and Man Ure. The latter aren't scary anymore.

I think Everton have only lost once at home this season, 1-0 to Sunderland, and have only lost 3 games all campaign.I cannot see us getting anything at their place.

I keep looking at it game by game; if I look any further I get nervous. Where we are is absolutely amazing, but I am literally scared to think about what may happen. I think deep down I know, but I haven't even committed to an answer when my friends have asked "Do you think you'll go down?". IF we stay up, Pulis deserves a knighthood and I'll be a blubbering wreck. I'm the same - everytime I think we might pull out someone beats someone else and we all bunch up again Regardless of whether we do or not we have made a proper fight of it and to even be where we are if you think back to the first 9 games or so if an effin miracle I suppose the biggest thing in all of this is where we are now, and where we were before. The difference in stats, particularly points per game, is phenomenal. Even when TP took charge, the "experts" were saying it's an impossible chance, it'll be a miracle etc. Look at us now; at best, we are performing, on average and when it comes to points on the board, better than those around us. At worst, we are in the thick of it. Both are a hell of a long way from where we were. I stopped giving predictions for matches long ago, so a season is out of the question, but whether it's a match day or thinking about the end of the season, there's always this insatiable belief and pride that we are Palace, and you can never ever right us off. Personally I think Fulham and Cardiff will go down, and there's one spot to fight for. There are worst teams than us around us, but football doesn't always work that way. If you were to look at it methodically and mathematically, the answer is easy, but the real world doesn't work like that. All we can do, whether it be fans or players, is stand tall, sing loud and proud, give it our all and pray that the footballing Gods are smiling down on us. Come May, I will be emotionally shot.

Still that could change....It kind of has to. All our easier games are away.....I think we do have the capacity to get points from them....Especially on the break with Ince.....Hopefully Murray is quick enough to break with him. With Dann, Ledley and Murray back we are certainly a stronger threat in the air as well.....With Ince's free kicks looking useful I'm happy about that. We have a chance. But it's a tough ask and no mistake.
