Could you make the Arsenal v Man City match thread as well Rarnes. You are on a roll today.

Professional Griefer · 29-03-2014 4:09pm

Nice watching it without commentary.

Chucky the tree · 29-03-2014 4:11pm

rarnes1 isn't even a Palace fan. Disgraceful that he's allowed start this thread, ban!

stiffler123 · 29-03-2014 4:13pm

A typical 0-0 Stoke style Pulis masterclass would do nicely here.

By a million miles. All down to their Ultra group, the only proper group in the Prem

Hope they stay up, shame to lose support like that for the likes of what the big teams offer up at home.

Nuri Sahin · 29-03-2014 4:15pm

Rarnes obsessed over Crystal Palace now I see, hmmph.

They are class alright. For a small stadium they make some noise

Small stadiums are the best for atmosphere, Portsmouth, Palace etc

Yup its a savage little stadium, would miss that and Craven Cottage if they go down. Ultras are savage down in that corner :pac:

29-03-2014 4:20pm

That was a poor poor tackle

Craven Cottage is by a country mile the worst stadium to watch a Premiership game in. Completely soulless. I've visited 14 of the 20 and it is by far the worst.

On the Red Button Garth Crooks reckons Palace are out to hack Torres out of the game.

ah right ill take your word for it so, thought it would be a cool little ground to go to :pac:

29-03-2014 4:26pm

Unlucky Palace.

Decent enough game so far. Crowd playing their part for sure, great fans

Alfred Borden · 29-03-2014 4:27pm

With Chelsea today and city and liverpool still to go there, palace could have a say in the title race yet.

stiffler123 · 29-03-2014 4:34pm

Palace should have had a penalty there. They're playing really well so far.

The fans just sit there all day with these stupid clappers that are left under the seats, and they use them instead of actually clapping the players or making any noise at all.

Johner · 29-03-2014 4:41pm

Palace by far the better side so far.

Panthro · 29-03-2014 4:41pm

Torres is lucky to be alive.
He's been hacked more times than a CIA website

29-03-2014 4:44pm

Fair play to Palace, done well so far.

Can they keep up for 90 mins though

MisterAnarchy · 29-03-2014 4:46pm

This is football for the purists !

Atrocious match so far,a hundred miles an hour stuff.
Chelsea seem to be going backwards under Mourinho ,getting more and more negative away from home,every time I have seen them this season they have been awful.
Palace will be made pay for their wastefulness.

Totally agree with this marvelous insight. It's really is time for José to be on his bike.

I'm surprised he made it past Jan to be honest.
Chelsea have been on an upward slope all season, it's a joke at this stage.
Jose OUT!

Palace were the better team that half but Chelsea have the players to win this game and win it easy.

I meant to say backwards in style .

I thought the whole idea of Abramovich chopping and changing managers was in the pursuit of his team playing open passing football like Barcelona ,samba football.
It was never really a possibility that Chelsea could play like Barcelona but Mourinhos style is anything but easy on the eye ,its worse than his previous spell in charge .
Has Abramovich given up on his dream of good football ?

Johner · 29-03-2014 5:02pm

Oscar for Luiz. Ankle injury.

Panthro · 29-03-2014 5:02pm

Oscar on for Luiz

GavRedKing · 29-03-2014 5:08pm

Another place we'll drop points

hullaballoo · 29-03-2014 5:08pm

For fcuk sake

Johner · 29-03-2014 5:08pm

That's our title challenge over.

Panthro · 29-03-2014 5:08pm

and now we take off Lampard

GavRedKing · 29-03-2014 5:08pm

There ya go.

Goodbye league

monkey9 · 29-03-2014 5:09pm

Yesssssssss!!!! Go on the Palace.

OOOOO

The_Kew_Tour · 29-03-2014 5:09pm

Viva John Terry

Pyjamarama · 29-03-2014 5:09pm

Chelsea will still win this. Palace needed to score that in the 80+ minute... Palace will sit back deeper and Chelsea will eventually carve them open.
