Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Match Thread

I know it’s meaningless but it’s been a really crap few results to end the season.

Oddly, last time we finsihed 4th in 95-96, we also ended without a win in our last four games

On the beach. Players don't look interested.

Midfield is non-existant

Wank. Palace are a really good team under their new geezer. Thank fuck we got the job done in the week.

Let's just get Ollie his goal and go home.

We didn't know it at the time but we basically had the job done on 21 April when we beat Bournemouth

If we hadn’t drawn with Chelsea we’d be swearing on goal difference until the Liverpool game.

I know it's irrelevant but it feels so flat this last few weeks compared to the triumphant way it ended last season. And I work with several Palace fans so tomorrow won't be much fun.

Mateta has become a different player under his new manager...

Well if ever we were going to forgive that.

For a top 4 side we've conceded way too many goals this season .

every could of years Palace sack hodgson get a new manager in who opens them up and makes them more attacking, then results dip and they sack the new guy and get hodgson in to tighten them up again

[Goldenballs]

Great defence from their guy, punching the ball out of the sky.

[BC54 VFC]

At the moment, Palace are ahead of Brighton.

[KevinGage]

I wish they had Woy now, TBH.

[Bad English]

Ref's an eagle.

We haven't been able to field our strongest defence all season and since Christmas, have been playing with a patched up  side almost every week.

Well it’s specifically the second half of the season. It needs sorting, but the in the first half it was much better. Kamara’s absence is a big factor, and I’m not convinced Pau has been fully fit since that first injury.
