Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

But bottom 4 is utterly shocking

The thing about the relegation flipouts is that even if we really do tank you'd still need some of those teams below us to improve a good deal.

I"m really developing an aversion to 1 - 0 final scores decided by pens.

At this rate you only need 1, not ‘some’ to improve. And even then only improve a bit really.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I have no idea what you expect. Half a new team, a new manager, a completely new style of football, enterprising, entertaining, well placed in the table. Every Palace fan I know is happy. You, meanwhile......

I expected all of those things you said to not stop happening for no discernable reason

No improve a lot. Burnley, Newcastle and Norwich are all very very bad.

I don’t need to remind you what our record is - and again it’s only one team that needs to improve.

Burnley in particular have got many seasons experience of getting out of these situations.

Well if we have a bad run over the next 3 or 4 weeks, we then play those teams in a 3 week period either side of the new year. I'd rather we picked up some points soon though so those aren't 6 pointers

I still think there is virtually no chance we go down. The only way it happens is if we persist for several more defeats with this abysmal inept manager. Any manager who gets this team near relegation is truly dreadful and shouldn't be coaching at this level.

Your appraisal of our record ignores games that are factually part of our record.

Compared to last season, and even some games this season, they haven’t. We played well on the break tonight, combative and competitive in midfield and defended set pieces much better. The goal was a pen, the result of a defender with his arm in an unnatural position to protect himself from the on rushing attacker who headed it onto his arm. That was a decent performance, no different to the Arsenal or Man City away games.

No idea what that is supposed to mean and I really don’t care

Burnley unbeaten in 3 and Norwich in 4, and they are both utterly terrible you say ?

Ok….

Benteke missing that free header.

@Alan Whittle you must be sick mate.

Well that then gets us to the whole idea of results aren't predictive and other things matter in performances when trying to decide how future matches might go. I don't expect you to understand this.

That makes 2 of us then

Still a condescending arrogant bell I see

Then they’ll be level on points with us

Yeah and keep palace only one ahead and cuts Newcastle more adrift, great result
