Until we know the penalty it's impossible to know who controls their own destiny. Burnley on Saturday is MASSIVE. Begging everyone on here who is going to be in full (and united) voice. We've kept this club afloat for almost 3 years now. What's a couple more weeks. COYB! Ah shit I forgot about that. Bollocks Still...could be argued we have 18 points to fight for where we mostly have a favourable chance to win (I write off the Shite and Arsenal. Chelsea can be done though).

RuffRob Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 I think the two biggest games on the list are Forest and Luton, as one of these could turn out to be 6 pointers come the end of the season. (Given the league table at the moment Luton is the most likely team to be fighting to get away from 3rd relegation spot). These are must not lose games. Luton's last two games after they play us are winnalbe. We can't leave it this year until the last day of the season - as we will get fuck all away to Arsenal.

My hope is that it will be similar to the home match against Palace a couple years ago where we clinched safety that day and then had nothing to play for in the final match of the season at the Emirates.

RuffRob Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 It would be nice to get a win over the Shite though. The will come to our place on a Wednesday evening as their 7th game in 21 days (and on the back of away games to Atlanta and then Fulham). This would be as good as time as any to play them.

We broke the streak at Anfield, even if it was a match played behind closed doors with no fans. It still counts. That being said, we've seen in the past that we couldn't even beat a team of the Shite that had some of their youth players in the starting XI.

RuffRob Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Brentford are definitely in the relegation battle now, and if you look at Crystal Palaces games, all the teams they have left to play are all above them. Palaces easiest games looks to be West Ham and Newcastle at home. looking at the games left I would hope we finish above Palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering their recent run of form and how Toney and Collins were arguing after the match, I'd definitely say Brentford is coming apart at the seams (if they weren't already). Palace's remaining schedule is tough but I'd think they'd have enough of a cushion to avoid relegation. They're at 30 points right now. 35 would have been enough last season to avoid relegation (We had 36; Leicester had 34). You'd have to think they could at least squeeze 6 or 7 points out of what they have remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I might have a cheeky £20 on Palace - at 25/1. Palace have only taken a total of 11 points from the 14 teams above them (if you also include us - with the 6 point we have lost) so far this season.) 19 points has come from the bottom 5 teams, we 12 of their points coming off the bottom two teams. All Palace's remaining games are against teams above them (many who are chasing a european spot), new manager does not really seemed to have changed much results wise, fourth worst goal difference, one of the players getting pelters today for swapping his shirt with Harland at half time!!! In 2 or 3 games time they might find themselves right in the mix. I fancy Brentford to finish higher than Palace. So see Palaces odd tumbling next weekend if Liverpool beat them at Anfeild next week and the Bees win their home game against the Blades - I just think 25/1 is generous this evening for a team in pretty poor form. If Luton do rally for the run in (massive win for them today after being a goal down), it wouldn't surprise me to see Palace drawn into the final day survival battle if it comes to it.

I have a question, and it has literally nothing to do with your insights. Why the FUCK do I keep seeing people spelling this man's name as Harland?

Not dyslexic myself so not sure how it manifests but personally, if I'm going to talk about or mention a player whose name I'm unsure of, I google it before typing so I get it right. Would that then not make any dyslexia not relevant? Like if I had maths issues and was unsure on 8x7, so stuck it in a calculator to make sure I had the right answer? Not judging in any way, have no idea what it's like, just wondering. Gwlad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember, I suggested that Brentford would struggle when I watched them play Brighton here in Atlanta during the pre-season. It seems that assessment was correct; they are struggling. I do think they'll survive, though. Palace must be a little nervous right now. Burnley and Sheffield United must be certs for relegation at this point. Personally, I'd much rather see Forest face the drop than Luton. If only we had the same team spirit as Luton, who keep pulling rabbits out of the hat.

Chelsea, Forest, Liverpool & Brentford. Imperative that we take points from Forest & Brentford. Chelsea have a cup tie as mentioned above whilst Liverpool have a UCL away day, trip to Fulham & then play us at Goodison in the space of a week. (Whilst also playing West Ham 2 days after us) There is an opportunity to pick up points from places we didn’t expect to get points here.
