[Football] Southampton v Palace - what do we want?

[Triggaaar]

1) So the fact that Southampton have sold their best player makes them more likely to finish above us?

He said they had more money to spend, which is a fair point.
Odds on relegation:
Palace 4:1
SCC 10:1

So what's your point?

My point is a simple one, and I've made it several times. You only have to read the thread.

But in case you still can't grasp it; after half a season Southampton and Palace are more or less level just behind us, yet both are likely to finish above us. With that in mind, the only on-field thing that has changed since then is that Southampton have swapped their best player for lots of money. Sure, they'll strengthen their newly weakened squad, but will they improve it to the level it was before VVD left (when they accumulated just 1 point more than Palace)? I don't see it, personally.

A draw all day long

Soton form is weak, but they have £75m to spend from VVD sale.

 

[Napier]

Draw and loads of yellow and red cards all round.

The 3 that will go down are the 3 that pick up critical injuries imo. Other than that I beleive we are better than both those teams so it doesn't matter, we are above them now and will be in May. Gone for draw, stains top scorer is out for 3 games and Pakace are as shit as theyve been all season but are playing like desperados.

It's a no-brainer. Palace loss and heavily with a bit of luck. Zaha sent off with 2 yellows for diving.

This. The rest of you have lost the plot

 

[LowKarate]

Would it be too much to ask that the full squads of both clubs contract a long lasting and debilitating form of amoebic dysentery for the rest of the season?

Other than irrational dislike of Palace, I cannot understand the 30% of voters who go for anything other than a draw. This sort of poll might make sense with a few games to go but until then, a draw means a point goes begging so it must be the preferred option when Watford down plays Watford down.

Southampton 1 - 0 P*****

 

[theboybilly]

Palace to lose all day long

 

[Buzzer]

I can't see Palace being involved in the relegation scrap, but I could see that Southampton might (note: not will).

As such, logic suggests I should want a Palace win, but as I could never, ever, ever, ever wish for that I'm going for the draw.

Yup. Exactly how I feel. I couldn't ever wish for a Palace win even if they played Man U.

Cottee reporting for Sky saying that Zaha going to ground too easily but Attwell wise to it.

Well book the horrible little cheat then.

Other games going as I would like now - would sort of like a Palace equaliser (much as it pains me to say so)

 

[Mackenzie]

Southampton are shite.

One all now. Palarse looking the livelier though. Hope they don't nick it.

 

[djentist]

D-Day (well, D-20 minutes or so) for Pellegrino? Their lot aren't his biggest enthusiasts as is but rumblings of discontent spewing on social media, they're touting this as a must win

 

[Mackenzie]

I hope Southampton play like this on the 31st. They are dire.

Long is ok though.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Good news. The bookies are wrong, Southampton are far more likely to be relegated than Palace.
