How much "bottle" did you see Palace and Sunderland display last night? Looked two awful teams to me. Can't say I would fear playing either of them.

Yep but QPR looked and are an awful side and they beat us. I don't think there is any team in the league at the moment we can look at and say yep that's 3 points in the bag.

Fulham were awful, did the double over us last season and still went down..


And I remember most people saying palace at home last season was s home banker.

It was until Pulis rocked up there...

Thing is Palace are on the decline right now, as are the Foxes, and QPR have been worse than us overall even if they have improved in the last few games.  Of course as always January will be key.

unless we start scoring more than we concede very quickly, January is going to be academic.

To answer the title of this thread, yes, I think this will be the season we win the FA Cup again.

Only if we can play Norwich in every round.

Given our record against lower league opposition in recent years, we would probably have our best chance ever of winning the FA Cup if we were drawn away in successive rounds to Man City, Chelsea, Man United and Liverpool.

Norwich are championship now


We can't be playing a championship side.

In terms of the topic of this thread to state the bleeding obvious it's impossible to tell whether we'll go down or not this season. Much to the disgust of my family and friends I put some money on us to go down before the season started because I thought we'd ended last season terribly and hadn't improved our squad sufficiently over the summer. The first few weeks of the season led to visions of gleefully tearing up the slip when we were mathematically safe in March but unfortunately we're back to the usual position under Lambert which is not in the bottom 3 but looking over our shoulders nervously. Everything that everyone says about the appalling quality of our fellow relegation candidates is true. Sadly everything everyone says about our own appalling quality is also true. We could well stay up this year while being shit, after all it is what we've done the last three seasons so I don't buy all those who say we're guaranteed to go down and other such bollocks. One point I will make though is if we do stay up again, just, with 38-44 points it will have been yet another crap year.

Unless we win the FA Cup.

Have the two points we have gained in our current unbeaten run removed relegation fears?

If so, why? Nothing has changed has it?

What if you weren't worried about being relegated in the first place, but just concerned that 16th/15th for the forseeable is unacceptable?

Think Burnley will be a big game. A real 6 pointer.

And Palace and Leicester and Baggies. Our next 3 games after Burnley.
