Yep, good that, get Jonjo in the middle putting it about. We win, Palace lose, Wolves and Ipswich draw game on, revved................it is the hope that kills you.

glanced at the table and fixtures yesterday and thought exactly the same - then told myself to get a grip, while checking out trains to Barnsley!!
jonjo's been told there's a slight chance he get's on the bench but if he is on the bench he'll get on.
pardew told him he's under a lot of pressure at the moment so it might not be this week!!
he's gonna be involved in the first team for the pre season friendlies and training
I wouldn't put both of them on the bench - too much of a risk if we get a couple of injuries, but going along with the first team squad should be good experience and it's great to see the next generation of home grown players coming through.
Its a little reminder, and an incentive, for them to consider their careers seriously during the next few months, and to come back for pre-season and the right attitude to push.

And perhaps a warning to one or two members of the first team squad that they aren't indispensable.
A shame that Racon is on-loan, these last few games would be ideal to give him an extended run in the first team and see what he's made of.

Good to see the youth involved, as theres every chance they could do what the more experienced players haven't, and we all love "one of our own"!
Good luck to them.
I tihnk you've called it right Ricky.

where would the likes of Lee, Bowyer, Parker, Konch, Rufus etc. been without that opportunity?

A carrot is basically being dangled.

I think you are spot on
So did Jon Obi Mikel to sign for United if I remember right, a few million quid can make those things disappear!
