Probably 3rd because they're hard to beat.

 

Stats suggest Palace also failed to beat them.

We lost 3-0 to Everton and have been shit since the world cup with no goals from open play and have been walked over by teams quite a lot further down the table, stats suggest Newcastle didn't beat us.

Just back from Selhurst

God knows how Newcastle are 3rd, they were shite, stats suggest a decent amount of shots but every single one was pretty tame and straight at Guaita.

Palace continue with no goals from open play, we have a lot of issues and lack strength in central midfield a solid RB and a consistent striker.

Was a blessed relief after a long frustrating game where we didn't seem to be able to put anything together, no idea how we cab fix out main issue (can't score from open play), but I'll take the point gladly.

Pick that one out the net...

Another worthwhile train-strike drive from Kent to South London tonigh, merely a week or so after the Boxing Day Fulham debacle.

How we gave a barely mediocre Spurs team 4 second half goals (whilst missing the opportunity to be 2 or 3 nil up at half time) I'll never know.

Piss poor.

Well worth driving from Kent to South London with the kids, Palace were shite enough before the first sending off.

The second one was a bit harsh.

Fulham second goal being OK'd despite a handball (and a monitor check) was the cherry on the cake.

They've put the San Muguel up 20p a pint as well.

Musah done Bale good there 

I thought on the replay thay Bale's foot catches the back of his leg before winning the ball, only saw it once.

Always like music with a message behind it

A dreadful first half for Palace and Nottingham Forest (Zaha with a disgracefully bad penalty), the entire thing was punctuated with the announcement of a minute of injury time even though Tyrick Mitchell was down for a significant amount of time injured (the commentators confirmed it was 4 and a half minutes), how it was even feasible for the ref to think that a minute was accurate is baffling.

Michael Olise in full on 'media training' mode post his winning goal today

Given the number of late goals given away by Palace in the last couple of seasons, taking 3 points away at West Ham in the 93rd minute was a fantatsic reversal.

West Ham were dire, and had Palace been able to string together much in the final third there would have been a larger margin of victory.

Palace still short couple of players, but the threat of relegation seems further away than usual. 

I love a bit of Ramones-core, it makes great wandering music, the 2 below woudl be in my top 5

@Chindie

Palace took on Viera after he had an ok spell in the states, and a shit time in France, it's been fucking brilliant.

Outside of the big 6 (and Newcastle's oil billions) I don't think it's as much about a "big" manager as finding the right manager that alligns to your club culture and ambition, and Viera and Palace are bought in to each other.

I'm realistic that if he keeps doing well we lose him, but I can't think of a 'name' manager that would have worked as well.

Not saying you could take Dyche, just that it's worth being open to someone a bit less experienced.

A tale of two halves, Palace put Wolves to the sword second half amd were dominant until the last 15 when they applied their usual tactic of dropping too deep, thankfully we didn't concede our traditional late goal.

Dreadful ref but not an excuse for Palace doing fuck all with their promising possession early on, Wolves score with their first proper attack, hard to argue that Wolves have been the better team but can't argue with how weak Palace have been in attack (again)

It's the game the neutrals have been waiting for all year, Palace V Wolves on a Tuesday night!

A lovely 8.15 kick off to make it extra difficult to take the kids (I'm taking them anyway as we miss the only other home game pre-World Cup as we are away)

I'm thinking a 0-0, no shots on target for either team and the pre-game wings and chips gives me the shits.

I'd fogotton what a cracker of a song this is, buried on a mixed bag of an album (Vibrator), it did just creep into the top 20 but deserved a bit more recognition.

Palace weren't great against Leeds either, I'm not brimming with confidence for the rest of the season, we really needed another centre mid at lease in the transfer window, haven't replaced Gallagher.

Maddison's dive was embarrassing, and he's paying the price for it by missing the Leeds game.

I'm not sure (with acknowledgement that the veggies have an excuse) how anyone can look at a plate with a sausage wrapped in bacon on it and have eyes for anything else.

I'd have a whole plate of them and nothing else, with a pot of cranberry sauce and a pot of gravy for dipping.

Palace's winner from today, a great team goal but especially great for Eze as he's been clawing his way back from an achilles injury and despite coming back last year it's only really this year he's been back to his old self. 

I love to watch players who clerly love the game, and you can see how much the goal means to him. 

He was dropped from 4 accademies before being picked up by QPR, and he often talks about the pain he felt and how grateful he is to have a career.

Palace v Leeds is a thriller.

Palace fucking dreadful for the first 10, Leeds nick a goal and then start time wasting, a baffling choice with 80 minutes left on the clock.

Palace get one back from an Edouard header, not really deserved but kama for the time wasting.

Rest of it has been shit, nether team looks like doing anything to excite the crowd.
