Again not surprised anymore how this team and Arsene Wenger never learn from their mistakes or learn how to adapt when behind and how we can't handle pressure but as i said given up a long time in hoping we can learn from our mistakes.
The fact we keep doing it now is a running joke and with the loss today against United and Spurs next weekend before we play our midweek game against Swansea any chance is gone now in my opinion.
We deserve our label of so close and yet so far both in the Premier League and in Europe where for the future of our club we need to wake up and make changes but nothing will change under Wenger again.
During that time in what i hope is his last contract until he leaves we have to expect more of the same with predictable results like United and Chelsea for example and the short run outs in the Champions League season after season as for the rest of this season i expect we secure another Champions League place and the F.A Cup which we have to play for is no longer good enough for this club if they want to move forward which we will see next season from clubs like Man.City and Chelsea.

It's a shame Spurs won, they have a nice spread of "easy" and "hard" fixtures and other than us, have the least amount of burdens elsewhere so this could be really tough.

I'm surprised Arsenal have put up with Arsene for this long Tob.

No easy fixtures mate. They are under same pressure as Leicester. Your fate is in your hands. Keep winning and they can't overtake you.

Not really steedeel the board won't make that decision because everything is fine behind the scenes, Stan Kroene is happy being a silent owner and Arsene Wenger has too much influence and at stage its too late to do anything now unless someone makes a big call and that won't happen so its just carry on the same until he decides to go but we are used to being on the sideline watching the others pick up silverware.

Geoff D · 02-28-2016, 07:47 PM

Well done Pizza, commiserations everyone else, although I'd be lying if I said that the Man Yoo win didn't put a great big shit-eating grin on my face. Damned shame Spuds had to win (though I can appreciate Steedy's delight, and my own for that matter considering that Palace are in 14th with the 6 relegation battlers directly below us!) but you can't have everything.

Still all to play for, and it's as we keep saying: everyone keeps beating everyone else (it helps that Spurs and Arsenal are playing each other at the weekend) so as long as Leicester keep doing their own thing they will win this title.

You'd expect Arsenal to beat Swansea in mid-week, Leicester have a tough game against WBA and Tottingham have West Ham. Sunderland have Palace of course, and they will have Palace, on toast. I can see some sweet revenge coming for that hammering Bolasie doled out last season.

We are both as nervous as each other Geoff.

This is Sunderland, trust me if we can cock it up, we will! If we lose, I accept relegation. Simple as that.

No way steedeel we are far behind if we want to be serious contenders on all fronts for now and the future and its time we stepped up.

Heh. We'll probably contrive to both lose the game!

Geoff D · 03-01-2016, 07:09 PM

Remember what I keep saying about Palace always obliging to help correct a poor stat for the opposition? I read that Sunderland haven't won home games back to back since May 2014 so that's a win tonight (following on from the Man U victory) for sure.

I said WBA would be a tough one for Leicester, they're 0-1 down at the moment. Plenty of time left though.

Pizzamorg · 03-01-2016, 07:28 PM

Not to take anything away from WBA, but you can tell that suddenly Leicester realising actually, this is our season to lose now, is impacting on their play.

They're only human, but they've hit the woodwork several times already with the game currently sitting on a Desmond, they could still win it.

Palace level up at Sunderland and, in a rare occurence, it's an old boy of theirs scoring against them (usually it's the other way around, our old boys love to stick the knife in!

).

Geoff D · 03-01-2016, 08:10 PM

And as soon as I type that, Wickham scores again! Sorry Steed. (Is Wickham only allowed to score goals in the last two months of the season??)

Geoff D · 03-01-2016, 08:35 PM

And Sunderland equalise at the death! Steed will be pleased, they're out of the relegation zone (albeit on GD as it stands).

Games without a win for Palace: 11

Pizzamorg · 03-01-2016, 08:37 PM

A draw at this juncture is no better than a loss. The one game Leicester are pegged to win FOR SURE and they pull a draw. Not for a lack of trying, not to take anything away from Leicester we played well, but we just cannot afford to be dropping two points right now. I can see it, after everything, Spurs will overtake us now and win the League and we'll never be in this position ever again.

Geoff D · 03-01-2016, 08:43 PM

Stop with the doom and gloom, it's bad enough that I'm at it all the time!!

West Ham are no mugs but even if Spurs do beat them tomoz, I can see Arsenal turning up for the game against them at the weekend (unlike the Utd game). Leicester have just gotta keep their heads down and keep motoring on, to hell with what the rest are doing.
