If only the ref and lino had polished their glasses (or at least worn them) before they officiated in the Burnley match there would not be such a big worry on Sunday. Or maybe the home game against Liverpool 3-2 down and Wilf gets taken down and they go up the other end and score. Or maybe Everton when Schlupp (from memory) is taken down and they score (after a throw on). I have been googling injury list and Scott Dann or James Tomkins for a week or so now.

Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

I don't think people are being arrogant about the game. I for one am bricking it. But I'm not going to fall into this doom and gloom cr@p people seem to want to go down. They bang on about passion. Hang on a minute! Yes City away was awful, Burnley not great either but before that I saw loads of passion and quality. Injuries have hit hard and we've got to hope we somehow play through it but pi*s off with the 'no passion' rubbish. Saturday maybe, other times we've been decent. Ref and Lino do their job properly be Burnley this would all be academic anyhow. We need to take that sense of injustice into Sunday's game.

That said, i still feel Sunderland are going to come up with another surprise.

Well said.

I remember many many times when Palace losses have

negatively impacted on my life.

I'm now of an age whereby I don't subscribe to Bill

Shankley's famous mantra.

If it's Palace it will be Man. Utd scoring the injury time winner to send us down.

I'm 62 (63 in November) and I will be extremely depressed if we're relegated. I'm hoping that this time we'll establish ourselves and, at last, drag our infrastructure into the 21st century. Who knows when we'll next be in the PL if we go down?
