Their next five fixtures are a nightmare. Lovely stuff. When this thread was started they were about 50/1 for relegation. Now it could be on!
Surely palace can't...

I have a great film of a Palace supporting fried and I discussing the Eagle's European hopes at Christmas party. The drunken fool features ranting about how Palace will be playing in Europe and challenging for the top of the Premiership. He knows I have the clip. I'm waiting for the best time to play it back to him. Were he not a good friend then I'd post it here.

Except Palace
They are both one point closer to you than they were before this weekend's games.

Cheers I'll seek that out for a second TV
Picked up a Hitachi SmartTV 48" from Argos a couple of weeks ago to replace a similar LG thing that had died. Picture is great but sound was garbage - got a sound bar for about £30 which is excellent (tv is in a fairly small room - man cave [emoji3]- and used mainly for gaming and watching sport). Cost about £320. Amazing value.

It's actually getting scary and worst of all I think you will go up automatically. I actually like Chris Hughton and TBF he has done an amazing job.
If we swap places I will lose my shit.

147 pages and I've not read any of 'em so forgiveness needed if I repeat anything.
I dislike them up the road, but they're safe from relegation (this season). I don't want them to go down(this season), as it'll be good for us (and sky) if we manage promotion to the mickey mouse league this time around

What, no updated Palace form guide?

They're safe(ish). However, the relegation odds were cut in half after Saturday's results and 3 out of their next 4 are tough aways. The other game is against Norwich, which, if Newcastle or Sunderland pick up a win in the meantime, will be huge.

His managerial career is a series of peaks and troughs. There is no real consistency in his record. His teams go on winning streaks and then the wheels come off and losses start mounting up. Then, if given long enough, eventually, the winning starts again. Sometimes the streaks last weeks, sometimes months.
It is clearly something in his own makeup, this inability to maintain consistency. Maybe he starts with a game plan, that catches fire and works and is then rumbled. Or maybe he tinkers, trying to improve even more but only succeeds in derailing the original plan. Or maybe he is just a muddled thinker, who eventually confuses his own players.
There is no middle ground with Pardew. His teams are either flying or floundering. There is never steady improvement.
Palace are 12s to go down and I think that is about right. Realistically they need a win and a couple of draws from 8 games and even that single win might not be necessary.
I think the best we can hope for are their two good players jumping ship in the summer and Pardew relegating them next season, perhaps with a record low points total.

Yep, not unusual for form to carry on over to the next season. An unhappy summer would be just what the doctor ordered.
Available on B365 now - Palace 12/1 (4th favourites to drop) and we're 11/8 (also 4th favourites to be promoted), about 30/1 double

Living in Surrey several Palace fans I know are starting to panic, they are now talking about how big the Norwich game is.
I think they are safe, however I can see Pardew sacked in the summer, current league form of P 13, W 0, D 4, L 9, F 9, A 24, pts 4 makes great reading for us however it can't for the board. Every dropped place is costing them financially.
I'm not a gambling man but I can see Palace winning the FA Cup, staying up and Pardew departing.

I was panicking a while ago. Not panicked about relegation, but just perplexed as to how we dropped like a stone. Pardew needs to go, there are still a lot who want him to stay and try to shout down anyone who says anything to the contrary.
I'm all for giving a manager a chance but something is definitely not right, either all of our players turned shite or he is not getting the best out of them.

Whats the verdict there on Adebayor I wonder. I see he was binned off at half time on Saturday. 1 goal in 7 so far, always looked like a car-crash of a signing

Cheekily reading some of bbs's match thread the other day, it seems the denizens of Croydon are not impressed. Comments such as 'lazy' and 'useless' spring to mind.

Palace are only narrowly losing games, a heavy defeat and all those still supporting Pardew will turn.
