Mid table finish is a bit of a misnomer, it's anywhere between 12th and 15th mostly. I rather hoped we could kick on and make small incremental steps to establish a true mid table stance, but reality kicked in and I have to accept that it beyond our means - recent history shows that any player...

It's like the story line from an episode of Outer Limits

Yes, one of the North West contingent of referee mafiosi, he has a history of very poor decision making.

Isn't it fun to be talking about relegation again! Not a season would pass without a relegation thread popping up and slowing withering away until the next time. Some folk thought we had finally turned the corner and we had established ourselves as a bona fide middle table Premiership outfit...

Hughes would have plodded around the centre circle and given away free kicks as he does, with him and Lerma paired together there would have been no attacking thrust as we have witnessed previously when they play together. Both now are of reasonable Championship standard.

Padavano was a case of the club signing a sick note player. Sounds familiar somehow...

Part of the skill set has to be persuading a player to sign for a club like Palace.

In general I agree - water will find its level and this is ours. When it looked like we had the makings of a very decent side the best players were quickly snapped up, it's the way the game operates in this league and it is a question of how one spends whatever one makes from those sales. In our...

That's the A team next season

Yes indeed. Truth is we look like a team that has sold its best players and not invested that money in replacements wisely. My feeling is we'll struggle next season if they are not on the ball from the off.

Down to 15th now, as bad as the days of Roy Hodgson and Patrick Vieira. Could get worse, some tough games still to go...

Potential league relegation and Euro cup finalists all in the same season, how exciting!

Yes is the answer.

Bournemouth are a decent side and it proves you can sell your star player and still progress.

This line up has rarely started together, and we're not 14th in the league by chance.

Secret agent Lerma, who would have thunk it!

It's not just the effort of strolling, I had a closer look at his successful passing stats and they are poor overall, far worse than any other player in the top half of the pitch. The ball will go to him and a third of the time he will lose it, which, when the team is looking for an advantage...

I disagree. I thought that OG'S starting line up yesterday sent out a positive message - we can and will get forward and score goals. Second leg is at home and we have the advantage and it is not a time to be timid.

Again Kamada's stats check out - he's always amongst the most accurate passers and also wins his tackles, and he covers as much ground as the best of them. Those who constantly criticize him have no clue.

I just realised something: at times this season we have made scoring a goal look like the most difficult thing in the world, and yet this evening we made it look easy - right place, right time, all in with the game plan, all working hard - funny how things can turn. Long may it continue!
