44 Points , Mathematically safe , not even Chuck Norris can beat us up.

The funny thing Is, had we got knocked out of fa cup early doors and swapped the cup wins for league wins, finished in the same spot as Forest and qualified for Conference - the final would be the biggest match in palace's history.. So we really have been so fortunate in the last 13 months..

Conference final is huge - we don't know when we will get to another final and the prize is (and not to quote Textor) another season of European football at a higher standard.

I really hope parish learns, yet again, from last summer... we need a stronger squad to cope and a plan b.

One thing is for sure, the European adventure & the fact that we will have played almost 60 games this season by the time we get to Leipzig will have provided actual lived experience for the board & its management team, 100% it will encourage them to better equip the club next season (obviously assuming that we win the final & are back in Europe next season)

Additionally - Whilst we have been in this 60 game scrap, 100% we will have been paying a lot of attention to how Forest + Villa have been trying to cope with similar scenarios, the demanding effects on their respective squad(s) & league performances -

That kind of "lived" experience has to be valuable to the board & everyone below them.

Nope.
It was the right call. Now West Ham look likely to go down which suits me just fine. Horrible club with horrible fans.

Yes, it was very clearly a foul.

but why was not the two Arsenal-wrestlers spotted by VAR? Still, we are safe, that is all that matters...

As the foul on the keeper has the major impact on the scoring of the goal the referee expert on MOTD said that the physical challenge on the goalkeeper was the main event

Therefore the decision about that challenge takes precedence over any other incident or transgression going on around it

The other stuff in the box was relatively inconsequential in the scoring of the goal

The guy did explain it quite convincingly. It was the right decision. But that just means Arsenal have got away with a lot of wrong decisions throughout the season from their set piece expertise that meant other goals for them stood that should have been disallowed. Consistency ...

I had a bet on us going down just incase…….i want my 70p back 😇🤣

If Wet Spam had got a draw yesterday the league would likely come down to goal difference. That’s pretty unlikely now so we might have avoided two absolute batterings
