I’ll never forget Kent Nielsen’s screamer and jumping up and down like a looney in the old Trinity Road.

The game is all about moments.

You know Palace will lose Forest now too to add insult to injury.

This boat has sailed. We're playing Bodo Blimps on a Thursday night in -15 degree temperatures.

I think I’d want a Forest win.

We basically need Brentford to beat Forest this week and Liverpool to beat Chelsea, and us to beat Fulham and we’re back in the race. Probably unlikely, but possible.

Me too, but if we did somehow bag enough points to qualify for the Champions League again it would have to seen as a season of progress again.

I've just no faith that we will after watching that.

Yes, another demonstration of how to spectacularly shoot your self in the foot when it matters.

I said on another thread last week that, for all the undoubted excitement of some really special games at VP, this season could finish with us in the Conference League (you can call me a snob, but I'm not sure what the point of that actually is for us now), and most of the usual suspects in the CL.

I was pretty sure of us winning all of our remaining games before that last kick Man City goal went in.  I am struggling to see where our next win comes from now.

That's because you're ruled by emotion by your own admission.

It comes next Saturday. We may as well ignore other results until the Man United game. Go into it on 66 points and see what happens. If it's the Europa League, oh well. I've never had more fun these past 2 years following us in Europe again.

Guilty as charged.  I hope you're right.

That was the one and only time I hve ever placed a bet at a football match. I had £1 on him to score the first goal, at 28/1.

Will whoever is around in 60 years time really remember Jhon Duran as the player who scored the goal to finish 4th?



Maybe, because for some reason people think it now, even though he didn’t.

We're not beating Bournemouth nor Man U away.
