Our future in the Premier League hangs by a thread,unless Everton and Forest are deducted significant points for their breaches of the rules.
Without key players,see an inevitable home defeat as our race towards relegation continues under our highly respected Manager,who is well past his sell by date.

3-1 home defeat.

I predict:

1. We will set up to park the bus, keep things tight and try to nick one on the break.

2. We will be sh!t defending corners, leaving the tallest Chelsea player unmarked for a free header inside the first 15 minutes.

3. Jeff Schlupp will play as Wilf Zaha's direct replacement on the left wing on some basis that only a wily old fox / football management legend Roy Hodgson can see, but the rest of us cannot.

4. Roy will stand in his technical area, hands in pockets, looking like a pensioner waiting for a bus.

I am rather hoping Parish will fire him soon thereafter for a bit of new manager bounce ahead of the following set of fixtures.

2-0 Palace , Roy gives the Kids the freedom to smash it

And we still need a striker

And who is this Roy of which you speak?

Man and boy Palace since my first game in 1948 sitting on my dad's shoulders

Chelsea are a young side so could be something in this.

Red and Blue Army!
