8 wins is about what you'd expect from a midtable side at this stage, no? They won 12 games last year but look likely to end up on basically the same amount of points. Add an FA Cup semi-final on top of more flexible football and it has to be one of their best seasons since getting promoted again. I think the expectation is that they're going to build on this.

Other points being they have drawn 14 which is the joint highest with BHA, and only lost 11 which is the 5th= lowest with us, TH and BHA.
They have a game in hand and can still finish in the top half. Their league position is much like BHA where Potter has been for a number of season and was on our Wish List as manager, whereas this is PV4s 1st season at Palace and without a pre-season. If they can convert their draws into wins next season they can challenge for UEFA places as can BHA.

Tottenham been 2nd best so far. Still lead. Kane from a corner.

Big Willie

How you gonna let Kane run through the middle like that with no pressure. Madness.

Coombs

Rodgers set his team up to lose. Dickwad.

GooneriC

Looks like Leicester aren't doing us any favours today. We have to win all our games and take at least a point at WHL

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Fuck Rodgers. So predictable he'd bend over for them.

Shady

Can't rely on leicester for anything. Rodgers has that bottler DNA

GooneriC

Son 2-0, that's done then

Everton have been superb. Where has this commitment and organisation been all season?

Amazing result. Bravehearts out there. What’s happened to Tuchel from last season?

This result offsets Spurs result in terms of ‘pressure’. This should encourage us.

Fuck we’re going to have a massive say in who goes down now.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Also Iwobi was brilliant at RWB.

Reversion to the mean. He overachieved by winning the CL. Their team has too many questionable players to compete with the top two.

Coombs

To be fair, that game was a wreck. Nothing sustainable in there at all.

I keep seeing you say this but how does that add up? Catching Chelsea isn't the pressure we're facing. It's holding off Spurs. Until they drop points or we beat them, the pressure remains fully on.

Chelsea are there to be caught. Surely must have uplifted the players no? Another place has effectively opened up for CL

Big Willie

Surely if we are under less pressure because we could catch Chelsea there was never any pressyre from Spurs in the first place cuz they'd have never caught us?

It’s still all fine margins but as I said the results earlier cancelled themselves out from a pressure standpoint.

Big Willie

Still doesn't add up to me but whatever man.

goon

Yeah, we'd have to win every game to really stand a chance of catching Chelsea and if we do that we'd finish at least 5+ points (likely 8+ given they go to Anfield) clear of Spurs. So yeah, doesn't change things one bit.

As far as pressure goes I don't think even being 5 points clear will alleviate it, this is one of those seasons where we just need to get it done to earn that pedigree.

Look at Chelsea with Havertz, Mount, Pulisic, etc. Fantastic first touches and close control.

Not wholly granting them that myself @BBKG! Have had a very luxurious and easy immersion into the premier league and don't think been completely put to the test. Pulisic yes, Mount on the half turn is very very good, and Havertz, the less I say the better on here.

OMITT darling doing the Charleston at Goodison Park. 70 million up front, 100 million on the bench, and laying a giant egg.
