I know it's traditional but my interest in seeing Palace (and Millwall) struggling this season is so far down the list of things to enjoy about football at the moment. Our total bin fire of a season leaves no room for me to enjoy seeing those two in their own relegation fight and you just know neither of them will drop in any case.
Well havent seen any of yesterday's football but a long conversation with my mate who was there yesterday tells me Spurs have been well and truly found out now.
The high line make it almost a certainty that Spurs need to score twice to have a chance of winning but we've got absolutely no answer to a team playing a low block.
I guess we're most definitely ahead of where we thought we'd be under 7-8 months of Ange Ball but he needs to find a plan B for when A doesn't work.
Badly missed Porro and Udogie yesterday apparently, shows how much we rely on them for creation.
Horrible, senseless tackle from Holgate. Sheff utd are going to struggle with 10 men for the next 75 minutes
That was a Sunday morning challenge of the worst proportions. Difference is that you don't tend to have 10 cameras and VAR there to analyse it. Braindead stuff.
Yes we all want to be in the Premier League, but it can't be much fun watching your team being tonked every week.
In our first season we got a very respectable 36 points from 38 games, so nearly a point a game, whereas Sheff United and Burnley are currently on almost half that amount (a pathetic 13 points from 25 games)

There's a lot of yo yo type clubs fans who genuinely prefer the Championship to the PL.
Obviously the money is good etc but who had a better year of watching their team last season - Leicester, Southampton, Sheff Utd, Burnley?
The Elite Premier league is where it wants to be: Burnley hit 101 points to win Championship last season yet have been totally out of their depth in 23/24. Sheffield United also totally outclassed. Luton are at least making a good fist of trying to stay in the Premier but if it wasn't for Everton's 10 point deduction then Luton are 4 points adrift in 18th relegation spot.
Money goes to money and Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton had next to no chance of staying up last September 1st.
The gap is getting larger and only Palace may give Luton or Everton a chance of staying up if their 3 quality players Eze, Olise and Guéhi miss most of the business end of season.
Not normally one who cares if any of the 'Big 6' players do well, bar wanting English players to be good to help the national team, but I'm pleased for him - seems a decent lad who was a United fan and seems genuinely chuffed to get the move.

Surely he wouldn't get sent off on purpose so that his parent club could survive relegation ?
Conspiracists gather round and discuss...

And this season?
The other team was Swindon, and they did it in 42 games not 38.
Worst in a 38 game PL season is 89.
Sheffield United also totally outclassed.
