West Ham are only a point above us (with worse GD) but have Spurs & Liverpool at home then Burnley away. Nobody seems to be talking about them going down.

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

I think that's a little harsh on SA.
Many teams struggle to break down solid defences. regardless of the players they have at their disposal. sheesh, it's been leveled at the England team for longer than I can remember. Mourinho's use the parking the bus argument many times - and look at the players he's had!

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Don't know if it's fair to blame Sam for that, those are the well-known strengths of our squad and have been for years. Pardew failed because he was in denial of that fact: playing like this is encoded in the Palace DNA. Indeed we need ways to break down teams that sit on the edge of their penalty area and are good at running fast, like Leicester, but we actually did OK against them apart from Huth's goal. More investment in the attacking midfield will help that, as would not having Puncheon sit so deep, although Cabaye has been doing more in this department lately.

Seeing as they have Everton next I'd not be feeling overly confident if I were a Swansea fan. Everton will want to win to get over a comprehensive loss against Chelsea. They will also still believe they can finish above Arsenal.

Swansea have still only won 2 in 10 and they need to win 2 in 3 and avoid defeat in the other. We probably will only need another point.

Sunderland are bad but I can see them getting a point or a win against either Swans or Hull.

If we can beat Hull no other result matters as they would be guaranteed to finish below us.

Thinking about the situation. Even a point could be enough. It could level us with Burnley or West Ham provided they lose remaining games. We all been worried about Swansea, winning 3 but we actually have a say in hulls fixture list. Hull need 2 wins to overhaul us. Can't see hull beating Spurs on the last day. Along as we don't lose to hull. We should be ok.

When he Sees the match ball, he says he having that
He scores one with left foot, he scores one with his right
And When his playing Brighton, He scores all f***ING Night!

What gives you the impression we will beat hull we lost to burnley so hull out of the next 3 games will be the hardest game we will play personally I think we will lose to hull that's the palace way but think we will get a result at either city or United hopefully utd get to Europa final or we are in big trouble cause if united play a full team we ain't going to win
