[Football] Palace or Arsenal?

[Bozza]

Title rivals to triumph for the Palace lolz, or feeling dirty for wanting Palace to win and do us a favour.

What's it to be?

Surely City are our only real title rivals?

The fact you even ask this question makes me doubt your brighton supporting credentials.......

Match postponed due to a feather landing on that derelict cess-put of a ground causing it to collapse.

Palace thrown out of the league and all results against them so far expunged.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Palace win for me.
As much as I dislike them, they will f*** up enough along the way for them to be languishing in the bowels, but need every help to keep the Sky 7 away from our title hopes. Hic!

Draw or Palace I guess. Don’t want our competition getting 3 points, better they go to a mid-table team

 

[HeaviestTed]

Arsenal - best chance of citeh not winning again.

If we maintain our current position for much longer I’ll come back and delete this.

 

[Gwylan]

Palace of course. We won't be competing with them for Europe, Arsenal are our rivals now

(and doesn't that feel weird to say?)

 

[Mustafa II]

Genuinely think we have an outside chance of top 4 this season. Certainly in the mix for top 6 or 7 again, assuming all remains healthy at the club.

Palace however, are unlikely to finish top 10 imo, let alone top 7.

Palace win for me please.

 

[Hamilton]

Arsenal - for my fantasy league results.

Who are Palace anyhow?

 

[Wellesley]

In an attempt to bring this thread back on track, I hope Palace get absolutely battered, the heavier the defeat the better.

Is the right answer.

Arsenal, easy.

A draw, let alone a win, for Palace would mean they've started the season pretty well.

Arsenal, annoyingly, are very good and will probably be clear of the rest along with City at the end of the season.

Whilst we've got an outside chance of finishing in the top four, I can't see it being at the expense of Arsenal. They finished 22 points ahead of us last season...

 

[Simster]

Draw. Firstly, my caveat to all this is that I do think we'll be closer to Arsenal than Palace this season - but you never know.

The case for backing Arsenal is weakened by the fact that there are enough shit teams to ensure Palace won't be going down and Arsenal could be within our sites. So backing Arsenal feels like cutting your nose off to spite your face.

The case for backing Palace is weakened by the fact that as much as we've made a good start, they could feasibly be on our coat tails if Europe takes its toll and we have some bad luck. Plus obviously I don't really actually want Palace to win.

Therefore it's probably best for us that both teams drop points.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Arsenal 1-0, so as not to impinge too much on our superior goal difference.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Gotta admire the optimism here! Arsenal will run City all the way, if not win the league themselves this year.

Palace will likely have a solid season and if things go their way, may finally break into the top half.

Palace loss for me.

 

[Napper]

Palace to get stuffed and red cards

Never want them to have any joy

 

[Deadly Danson]

Let's be honest, if Arsenal lose then that's them virtually out of the running to beat us to the title. If Palace lose then they are as good as relegated. I'd say an Arsenal win to keep the Premier League title chase interesting for the neutrals.

 

[BBassic]

Palace to lose but not by so much that Arsenal take top spot.

(Eye twitches in a maniacal way at some comments wanting palace to win)
