Match Thread Crystal Palace v Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

S'ton and Forest are both gone IMO.

S'ton cant make up a points gap to current 28 point teams and Foest have very difficult fixtures left.

Yeah Southampton, they put on a brave show on Friday but they need more then that to stay up

so i did that league predictor thing and was being very harsh with us thinking we would only get draws to newcastle and wolves and beat bournemouth and i have us finishing the season on 33 points

if leeds and leicester draw, i have us finishing above leeds by 1 point

if leeds beat leicester i have us finishing below leeds and leicester by 1 point

if leeds beat leicester and we draw away to leicester i have us finishing above leicester by 2 points and above leeds on goal difference

Did you think I'm suggesting a conspiracy? I'm not, I'm criticising pundits who are prepared to disregard most of football
history before 1992.

What exactly was mentioned on FA Cup semi yesterday?

They're quick enough to blat on about Dawsons semi final hat trick in 1958

Leicester go to Ledds this midweek.

Hoping for a draw…but if one of them mustwin I suppose Leicester would be better from our point of view.

Yea, a draw there and 3 points vs the horse punchers would be priceless this week.

Felt the corner where keane was penalized for a foul should have been a penalty to us.

Definitely. Palace bloke fouls Keane and then writhes in agony as if he was kicked. No point complaining. It's only Everton.
Makes me sick seeing all these fake injuries when they're not even connected to a head issue. FA should take action and the refs told to play on.

 

[Swartzy]

This will be our 4th near miss since 1954. Assuming it is a miss.

surely 1994 if it happens

We have to get something from the Newcastle game. Villa turned them over 3 nil in their last away game. It can be done

 

[Roachey11]

That was utterly rotten. This squad is devoid of any quality whatsoever

A lot of ifs ! If only ????

Just watched the game. It was a poor match between 2 mediocre teams not helped by a whistle happy referee. None of the yellow cards was warranted as it wasn't a dirty game at all. There were quite a few bizarre decisions but the one that struck me was when Ayew went down in our area pretending to have been smashed in the face by Tarkowski. The referee ignored him until the ball went out for a Palace throw near the halfway line. After sorting out the Ayew "injury" instead of carrying on with the throw in, the referee gave a dropped ball to Palace.

I gave MoM to Tarkowski, although Kean, Garner, Gana, Iwobi and Pickford were up there.

Just hoping Newcastle have used up their goal allocation for the week this afternoon before we face them on Thursday.

Positive from this game is we should never see Holgate again. Now we just need Mykolenko to never be seen again.

Point on the road. Move along

I mean the replay clearly shows keane getting a foot on it and the opponent kicking the back of keanes foot. Smh

Saw one replay and it looked a foul so obviously the VAR official just presses his no review button and hopes nobody remembers it.

Think Forest have Brighton at the City Ground next....they’ll be delighted the semi went to extra time and pens. A win for Forest there could really throw the cat amongst the pigeons as could Southampton winning their derby against Bournemouth. Newcastle pumping Spurs has done us no favours - their confidence will be sky high.


Hold on to your hats.

There's a lot of coulds and shouklds in all these scenarios.

My guess is that Brighton will pass Forest off the park, determined to crack on for a European place in light of their FA Cup disappointment.

Forest will be only their 2nd game in 11 days btw. They wont be depleted. A day recovery and then a day back training.
