The worry is that we will likely only have 16 points after the Arsenal game - given how we are playing now.
That means 16 points after 19 games and still with all of the top teams to play again.
We are just not up to it right now - despite being able to score goals.
I really do think we stand a chance of being relegated with AP in charge.
Knowing Palace though we will go and beat Man Utd on Wednesday!

Pardews fault, all the players should know the game plan for whatever team we play and stick to it.

No such thing as an easy game in the Premiership, especially away. A draw is not a bad result.

The cheating for the first goal was completely unjust and would completely knock the stuffing out of you if you had been on top before the incident. Benteke had a clear pen turned away second half, it could have been a comfortable win if the ref got the decisions right.

Again, it was individual mistakes that cost us our goals. There is so only so much Pardew can do from the sideline, he's not the one missing tackles. For those criticising the decision to bring on Cabaye, the stream I watched it on, the commentator said that McArthur had picked up a knock, so perhaps he was forced into this.

Two games unbeaten, stopped the rot. Momentum building going into a game against an off for Man Utd with a day's less rest. Points are there to be won.

I had no faith in the team holding on, no. Not because of Pardew though, directly.
Think because of AP's front foot philosophy costing us so many points during 2016 the confidence out on the pitch is shot. They've forgotten how to win. They fight back so many times that they clearly are playing for him, but mentally this team, not just defence are shot.
I've always said it, AP rarely goes out to not lose and therefore these non winning streaks just go on and on and that slowly erodes the mental strength of the group.
For the next four games he has to go Pulis style in my opinion, but I know he won't and we'll probably have glorious failures in the matches vs the big guns and contrive a way to throw it away against Watford.
In some ways AP is like many on here, he goes out expecting to beat teams because, "It's just ( insert name here)" and we should beat them. It's that footballing arrogance/attitude that is costing us IMO and many fans act the same way.

That's Life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

The straw clutch gang going for the penalties we weren't awarded to mask the fact that

a) we can't defend.
b) we can't hold onto a lead for longer than 3 minutes.

Looking forward to any reasons over the next few games to excuse us winning one in 10 or about 7 in 12 months. You couldn't make this sh1t up. If he wasn't from the 1990 side and pally with Parish and a Brighty we'd be building some consistency with someone more capable.

COYP

but it was man utd and Chelsea, you can't expect us to beat them. All you pardew out supporters are dillusional if you think we should be beating teams like that. We'll definately beat Watford.

Feel free to copy and paste next week.
