The frustration of last weekend is beginning to dissipate and I am now really looking forward to this weekend with a degree of optimism. Come 4:55pm on Saturday no doubt I will be spitting feathers again cursing another match gifted to the opposition, but, I will travel in hope!

You'll have to pretend to be a Saints fan then :-)

I am very superstitious and have tried everything to get Palace off this run of bad results. Nothing seemed to work. This week as a last I decided not check any football scores after 3.00 I watched the rugby on Sky then nipped to the shop. From 4.30 I just sat in my armchair my wife informed me that Palace were trending on twitter I said don't say anything my heart was pumping faster than last week after we had gone 4-3 up then 4.55 turned on final score yesssssss Eagggggglllleeessss I yelled out problem is do I know have to do the same next week. Any thoughts or do I dust down my ZDS cup winners mug last used the relegation decider against Sheffield Wednesday
