Luck has not been on our side my friend. I'm really frustrated with how this season is unfolding. We're so dull and predictable on offense, it's not even funny.

You're really starting to take this losing in stride. I don't know how you do it bruv. I'd have pulled out my hair long ago. Then again, we're not doing much better than you guys lately either. Are we past the point yet where we can write off our seasons?

Dude, I'm a Palace fan, I'm lucky I've got any hair left to pull out because it's such a rollercoaster ride supporting this club. We've had so many downs and so few ups over the last few decades that I'm still pinching myself that we're in the Premier League, if it ends then it ends. We'll pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and start again...with a £3.7M rebate coming from that pillock Pulis.

Hahahaha That's the spirit right there man.

I wish we lived closer to each other, we could go for a pint and commiserate together.

I had a couple of cans of Guinness last night, does that count?

Yeah Whatever.

Come on tob, my life doesn't revolve around checking this thread religiously, not that I'm saying anyone else's does either, but still: if I missed it then I missed it, I can't turn back time.

I think I miss quite a few posts.
It’s nothing personal, just the way it is. I try to keep up the best I can.

Good luck my fellow sufferers.

Sorry Pizza, but I can't wish you all the best (and mean it!)

You will be fine though regardless, your team have too much about them to be relegated. We bloody desperately need 3 points but I can see it being a draw. We are not knowing for making it easy for ourselves. Leicester need the points almost as much as us. Also, it is almost a guarantee that Vardy will score, seeing as he has had a barren run.

[Geoff D]

I simply cannot envisage 3 points tomorrow, we can't defend to save our lives and Southampton will be acutely aware of this. In a way I almost hope we get battered because Pards would surely be gone after that.

Big Sam will sort you out!

The only thing I’ve fully enjoyed this season is Arsenal beating Chelsea (just waiting for the other boot to drop in Feb.), some teams (esp. Man City attempting to pass the ball out from the back instead of the goalkeeper safely kicking it far downfield) and Jose M. acting out yet again this season but this time with Man U.

All my favorite teams look weak this year.

Ah, the Jose thing has been a delight. Especially the chants by away fans 'You're not special anymore!

2-1 to Palace. Bentekke brace.

[gvortex7]

Congrats on the wins today fellas. Palace soundly handled Southampton, the way we couldn't last week, and Sunderland continues its recent solid play with another good win, slowly climbing out of that dreaded zone. For the life of me I can't figure out how this Leicester team won the league last year.

They looked a million miles from that team today. I think they will be fine though.

As for us, the ref did his best to prevent us from getting the win. Absolute stick on penalty but not given.
