Definitely against Arsenal, literally 3 days before the final

He basically said as much when asked about the integrity of the PL when choosing his team against Arsenal. on the final day. He said the league is won over 38 games not a single one and managers rotated their teams throughout the season. He didn't feel any commitment to either City or Arsenal and that his commitment was to do what was best for Palace. I totally agree.

Bloody right, after Pep’s slightly less than humble antics after the final whistle in the cup final last year we owe him nothing and I hope we are in a position to put out a weak side against Arsenal and bugger up his title chances
 
The Conference final is as much if not more for Glasner’s CV than anything else. I take the view we play our strongest team until we are mathematically safe and then he can select who he likes.

Players should be buzzing and can’t wait to play rather than crawling around the floor begging for time off after Thursday.

We cannot rely on West Ham and Spurs screwing up.
 
Glasner knows there is a very, very small risk of relegation.

I expect him to play his strongest team tommorow; get the result and then rest players for the last 3 games.

Tomorrow is our best chance of points on paper at least. If we rest lots of players lose and West Ham win then we are probably entirely dependent on other results. Yes the scenario to get us relegated is very unlikely but it would be nice if we took control of the situation. Sadly I don’t think Glasner could give a rat’s ass where we finish in the league. I suspect if he would happily take relegation and winning another trophy. Next season for Palace is our problem, not his.

Relegation wouldn’t look great on his cv.

There are bonuses for silverware and league places, I would think. I would also think in Glasner's contract is some financial penalty for relegation. Although relegation would hit Crystal Palace financially, a lot harder than any penalty in Glasner's contract.
I do have faith in Glasner to do the right thing. And players don't trot out onto the pitch to lose

Lets not be getting ahead of ourselves. Remember to be grateful just not being bankrupt & broke again.
4th from bottom, for the next 20 years, while we build an acceptable stadium-capacity.......thats more than ambitious enough for any Croydon boys.

I'd say a point/points against Brentford would be more likely... Mainly because that game doesn't follow a European game. We'll see I guess, but I'd obviously be happy to get something from today's game.

I also expect Arsenal to beat West Ham today as they seem to be hitting their stride again just at the right time... So that'd also ensure our safety in the prem.

Especially when we were standing in the clock end at Arsenal on the last day and the rumour spread that Southampton were beating Oldham, obviously before the internet and mobiles so we thought even getting stuffed by wrighty and Arsenal we’d be okay 🫣

I think brentford may be our best chance. Extra day's rest against a side that have won one out of last eight games.
 
I am going to laugh so hard if we beat Everton today. All the bed wetters will have to worry about alien invasions or Philip Schofield to fill the void (and he would given half the chance).
