..my benchmark was always 20 points by Christmas but nowadays 25-30 gives us something to go at in the 2nd part of the season. The reds followed by Man Utd away are our next 2 games so a win today will be very welcome.

Yeah I agree. plus it means we go into the derby above them, which is always fun.

Do you still get a kinda reflex reaction of relief when we hit 40 points? I do, but it's fading every year.

Just thought...Palace let Newcastle score 3 against them, so should be bricking it coming to Goodison today.

Think I'm gonna do puncheon anytime goalscorer.

But after last season the lads owe them big time and I think thy will be well up for it.

No complacency this time. 3-1

Did you just say 1 for them so you win your bet there?

I hope it's done and dusted by half time. Then I can get back to stressing about how much work I have to do for tomorrow morning

I don't think we will hammer them, they will defend deep, play on the break and come for a point.

1 or 2-0 hard fought win, with 70% possession and 300 shots on goal!

Howard; Coleman Stones Jagielka Baines; McCarthy Barry; Naismith; Lukaku Eto'o Mirallas.... Please.

....40 points in January would leave me very smug.

 

[Petit]

Got a feeling we´ll win this quite comfortably. We might leak a goal since our defence is a bit wobbly but at the end of the day I don´t expect palace to be able to live with Mirallas, Lukaku, Naismith and Eto´o.

 

[Librarian]

I wouldn't go changing formation just now, it's starting to work.

Yeah me too! Then we're on course for 80 in May.

I love that we can talk about this sorta thing now and not sound like we've completely lost it.

Gotta get to 8 points first though - I'm about to get going and hit the M62... COYB!

Me too, tension starting to build, cant stay in the house any longer. Lets have this!

My scoreline is 3-1 to us...with Puncheon nailed on to have his back to goal in our 6 yard box, turning, and getting one in off the post with Tim stranded. But, apart from that, I do not think we are going to be ambushed....

...hope Man U is though

 

[flibbyflob]

Think we will win but Palace will score (may even take lead) 3-1 or 4-1 is what I reckon.

 

[meagher94]

It may not happen but I'm just excited by how much potential we have to absolutely crush them today.

If we have a good day and they don't just park the bus then we could score 4+.
