And this is the issue. As long as the title is gone we have no idea what sort of team Spurs will put out either. Hopefully they'll rest their stars. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/foot...otball-_-TwImageandlink-_-Statement-_-TWITTER
Looking at Chelsea's remaining fixtures, the title should be confirmed by the penultimate game of the season. Spurs have run them close but Chelsea look too formidable to let their advantage slip. Plus, you can see it being typical Mourinho and aiming to spoil Spurs's last game at the current WHL a week on Sunday.
I can't see that being enough. Swansea losing to Everton and us beating Sunderland puts us 5pts ahead. A bore draw with Palace makes it 6. If Swansea then beat Sunderland and West Brom, which is very possible, they will make up the six points and improve their GD by at least 2. That means we're probably going to need a point Vs. Spurs. After the Man utd result yesterday, I honestly think we need a win Vs Palace.
It wouldn't surprise me if our survival comes from a shock result. Imagine we beat Sunderland and Swansea only draw with Everton - 4 point lead to us. Then with us expecting to need a result at Palace a Sunderland side fighting for pride in their final home game score a late winner against Swansea!! Hallelujah we're safe with two games to spare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God these pills are good.
The thought of staying up thanks to the Mackems is a bit disturbing. Having said that, do have Sunderland at home, Swansea go to the SoL. Last chance for Sunderland to reclaim some pride in front of their fans.
Have to agree, think it's going to be very difficult for us at Palace. I think that diving twat Zaha will go down every time he gets touched in our box and in the end the ref will give Palace a penalty.
"Hull City supporters endure a nervous final game of the season as 3 teams battle to avoid relegation" ****ing predictive text.
I think we need to thrash Sunderland at the KC and Silva to get his first away win at Palace to stay up. That'll put us on 40 points and we'll bring 2 or 3 other teams back in the mix.
