They won't go down. Quote me on that!

I think Pedro has been disappointing so far why no one has brought this up is due to the poor season Chelsea are having.

Lol, have to laugh or I will cry. Newcastle winning. **** off!

Sorry about that Steed but they've done us a favour, if Palace win tomoz then we go 6th.

Palace are usually pretty camera shy, we don't do all that well with TV games. I think it'll either be decided by a single goal or will be a 5-3 goalfest!

Nearly Prem history made given what was it like 5 or 6 years ago? they were near the bottom of the 4th ? division in all of English football.

Fantastic point for Palace, up to 6th. Southampton on Saturday, they're another team who've had the Indian Sign over us in recent years, a win would be awesome but I'll take another hard-earned point like that tonight. COYP!

Yeah good point Geoff. Never a easy place to go to. I like the look of Palace away from home.

It's real tough for me to root against a team whose supporter is a friend.
I wish we were playing someone else.

Tob, does Arsenal play a match in Champions League this week?

Don't worry about it. I am vastly experienced in the art of watching SAFC lose. It batters me but I keep returning to the scene!

I was hoping he would be able to get things turned around with the team. The players really let him down.

Have seen several names get floated, it will be interesting to see where they end up going.

I would love to see Rodgers back, but that is not going to happen.
