    But the flame is not out until the maths tells otherwise.

    Mental how jack stephens is leading Bournemouth to safety with MoTM performances every week, whilst we have been playing Lyanco and ****ing Bednarek <laugh><laugh>

    They do have a kind set of fixtures from now on. Only three more matches against the top six, and two of those matches aren't until weeks 36 and 37. I'm yet to be convinced that they're in serious trouble, even though the table says they are.

    That said, if they lose to Brentford next weekend (very possible), then the international break which follows would be a convenient time to make a change.

    Least of all Bournemouth, who left him on the bench for the first half of the season.

    Crucial times for Crystal Palace. They finish March with Brighton and Arsenal away.

    Then their April games are against Leicester, Leeds, Saints, Everton and Wolves.

    Yeah, Palace is either going to break a lot of hearts in April, or get their own heart broken. Putting together the Run In thread and that group of games really stood out.

    Even Palace's May fixtures aren't particularly scary.

    12 matches left, of which only four are against the current top 11. For them to still have to play all of the 8 other members of the bottom 9 is quite something (5 of which are at home).

    If they go down, it will be entirely their own fault.

    We do all realise that anyone we play in the next few matches are above us.

    Palace in serious relegation form, sure I heard they have now gone 3 games in a row without a single shot on target. First time in premier league history.

    They have out done us!!!!!

    I might agree if all our points and cup wins had been against the bottom half teams. We've got more chance of getting points against scousehampton than bournemouth

    With so many team in the literal relegation fight its not likely that everyone will lose so best to keep an eye on the bigger picture. Ideally more of them don't win than do. That will be a good week for us. This is a good week so far considering where we go tomorrow.

    I am sure we are all happy with Bournemouth heating the team that most on this board do not like! Well done The Cherries!!

    It has been cold recently, I will give you that. I'm sure they'll take all the electric blankets they can.
