There are 19 other teams. If we score more points than 3 of those 19 and also Palace then yes. If we don't then we deserve to go down
Palace aren't that bad, under Pulis they actually look pretty strong. People need to get over tonight's game. We're in a rough patch but we'll get out of it. You could also ask, "If we beat a team like Newcastle away from home and knock off Liverpool comfortably at home, do we deserve to be relegated?"
What's with all the panic and depression? Since Pulis has started at Palace, he's turned them completely around. I don't like their style of play but it's effective and he's clearly getting more out of them than Hollowhead did. They've got a couple of good players, of course they'll score, they were at home and their fans sounded awesome in fairness. It all helps. Sure, we missed some chances, it was just one of those games, but Long looked great to me, running at them and sharp considering hes just back after an injury. Jelavic seems to be a poacher, and gets into the positions we've missed someone getting into. Both will score goals for us. All we missed last night for me was Brady at his energetic best. The ref was useless, he shouldn't have let McG get to the stage he did when he was sent off, the ref was spineless and let Palace dictate the way the game was being played, he needed to stamp his authority on the game and he didn't. We lost away to a team who are much better set up than they've been all season. We're still 13th. We have Aluko and Brady to return. The teams got another few days of training, they will gel together soon. Its all good.
'A team like Palace'. Listen to yourself. We've been in the Premier League for 6 months and we're lording it over teams who are ****ing level with us. Is this what happens when you get in the top flight? It is EXACTLY the kind of arrogant attitude we complain about from other fans towards us. An absolute disgrace.
Don't know what you're on about Bum Chins, were an established premier league side, Palace have only just come up. No idea where you got level from.
We have to all calm down and be realistic last night was another 50/50 game in fact with them having home advantage i would have said before the game they were slight favourites it could have gone either way if we had got a different referee but it didn't ive said on here a couple of times before despite some getting carried away regarding us getting into Europe ect that because of our fixture list second half of the season that it is going to be more difficult. First half of the season we did in most cases do what we had to do beating sides around or below us at the KC but now been away from home we are finding the opposite happening. ( despite what some think away games are always harder to get anything from as we are finding out yes we had some decent performances but points tally- terrible). Of course playing the lower sides away means we are playing most of the top ten at home again more difficult so overall again despite what some say then yes it is a worry how ever we do have Brady, Aluko set to return plus we must be a stronger team with the new forwards so all is not lost the quicker we get a win the better because having lost four on the trot can make losing become an habit. Is it only one win in ten? again not good we seem to have been stuck on 23pts for such a long time. A couple of wins would lift every one but that's easier said then done we have a decent side but now is a time when some how points on the board have got to start happening. Tottenham Saturday very difficult game but on our day we could beat them, our next two away games Sunderland and Cardiff if we were playing them at the Kc i would fancy us but away? again on our day we could do them but with our away and currant form does anyone fancy us. It really is going to be a fight all the way we have experienced this before lets hope the outcome is different to the last time. Keep believing as i have said it will be difficult but we can do it
We're not looking good at all at the moment, Liverpool, Norwich and Palace were all really poor performances, we desperately need Brady and Aluko back, we don't look dangerous at all.
