Unfortunately, Palace still have Christian Benteke, and Benteke enjoys playing against Everton. Five goals; one assist in eight games to date.

Yes and one goal all season. The guy is a joke, but still good enough to score a few against Keane, Williams and co.

Good thing we won at the weekend or we'd be right back in the mix, I can see it being more like 42 points to survive this season.

We are still in the mix, we just look a bit healthier than the rest. We just need to win as many games as we can

Yers
We are safe

Palace showing everyone how it's done here against United

Their fans are backing the team, their players know they are fighting for survival. Proper siege mentality

Exactly what we should have done months ago, but we didn't because we were too arrogant to accept we were in the battle

Well, we're bottom half now with a big crunch game against Brighton that we simply have to win otherwise chit will hit the fan

We are in danger you know lads.

Serious danger

The crowd this Saturday needs to be Wimbledon on the last day of the 94 season level intense

But it won't be that. People will sit on their hands and grumble, because they don't believe how precarious things are

The first step is admitting you have a problem. Not enough of us have done this, and I fear they won't until it's too late

We are in danger till we get to 40. Which is why throwing away our away games is disgusting and dangerous.

Boss_Rarkley · March 5, 2018

A Palace win means we are 6 points off the bottom 3.

Next weeks fixtures:

Everton vs Brighton

Newcastle vs Southampton

Stoke vs Man City

Chelsea vs Palace

Huddersfield vs Swansea

Massive massive game for us - if we win that and results in the other games go our way and we are 7-8 points from the bottom 3 and you would think likely safe.

Anything less and its squeaky bum time.

We need that win on Saturday. Not only is it a possibility we could lose the next 4 in a row after that, it's actually quite likely.

Yup

Keep telling the Stoke fans at work that we'll be doing our bit for their survival hopes when we play them

I’ve been wary of us going down for the whole season. But now I am convinced we are going down. Everton will never recover from the post Moyes balls-ups.
