If Chelsea were to lose today, and United win, the title could well be wide open again....

...Chelsea play United and arsenal in their next few games so if those two were get results then Chelsea would lose it....

Could be a great days football

I'd be majorly shocked if QPR snot Chelsea.

But you never know I guess.

May well be the key words in that sentence. Bloody Palace players getting above their station etc. etc. etc.

Nothing to do with Palace players. He just so happens to play for Palace...and he looks like a snide who winds the opposition up and takes delight in doing the same to fans too...from what I've seen.

Palace are doing well. Good luck to you. Pardew is a good organiser and has them playing with more control to go along with the aggression they always seem to have.

But Pardew being Pardew it wont be long before that goes tits up. He'll always be a loose cannon and he'll fall out with supporters/players/owners - probably sometime in the near future.

Since I started going in 68 this is the best it's been aside from the period between 89 - 91 when we finished third in the old Division 1 and reached an FA Cup final.
I put it down to a number of things;
Sensible owners who are Palace fans.
A squad of players who have a real togetherness (still have six of the playoff final team playing regularly).
One or two players that can play a bit at this level. (Speroni, Ward ,Dann, Jedinak, Macarthur, Bolasie).
No prima donnas
A manager who believes in the squad and lets them play to their strengths.

In reality, it could all go pear shaped if we sell a couple of the best players and we're miles off actually competing seriously for anything, but, by our standards, it's ***** fantastic.

Yep you actually look like a cohesive team with a good blend of experience and players who can play a bit. Pardew is a bellend but he's done a cracking job so far.
 
There is no doubt about it, 8 wins since Pardew took over, is some improvement. He has worked wonders, but he has had Newcastle playing well and winning and somehow he managed to stuff it up. He strikes me as a one trick pony, comes in to a club, installs a system, gets the players all playing, the other teams then take notice of what he is doing and work out how to beat him, he then throws his dummy out off the pram and fights with somebody. Still he has given Palace fans something to cheer these last couple of months and that is a good thing.

Fair enough.
I disagree about Murray ( but then again I would). He is an old fashioned no. 9 who puts it about as much as he gets it. I didn't like the cupping the ear bit after he scored yesterday but he's not the first or last to do that and it was way out of character.
With regard to a Pardew falling out, well, maybe. I'll say this for him though, he was very dignified with regard to all the garbage he was getting from the Geordies, didn't bite back and kept his cool. And at Palace he doesn't have the burden of overblown entitlement that he had there. (He doesn't have any expectation really, just the hope that we stay up and have a laugh doing it.)
