Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa pre match soul searching

[ChicagoLion]

Just got the feeling that this might be a key round of fixtures over the next couple of days.  If we can win tomorrow night then the pressure is back on Arsenal on Thursday.

Do we want Arsenal further away or Liverpool nearer?

[Somniloquism]

Well he is stating after a win for us isn't he so we would be closing on Arse and keeping the same distance from Liverpool.

[Dave]

They have a few players out don’t they?

Most of them.

Sarr is still at AFCON, Munoz, Kamada, Doucoure are all definitely injured and Richards, Clyne and Lerma are all doubtful.

A slip on the ice on the way to the ground for Guehi, Mateta and Wharton and I might start feeling confident.

Obviously want a Liverpool win. What's the point in it all if you can't dream? I can't believe you'd want anything else. I get people worry about CL but we're in a really good position for top 5, let's keep Arsenal in reach for as long as possible and enjoy the ride.

I’d prefer a draw in the Arse Plop game

They play each other Thursday, please try and keep up.

That's got to be the right thinking at this stage - strain every sinew and pull every lever to stay within 6 points of Arsenal, or improve on that position.

I’d prefer a draw in the Arse Liverpool game

Agreed, only after a Villa win, of course.

0-0, three players each, plus their managers, sent off.

Sorry fellas, just got a ticket for this one, which will only mean one thing I'm afraid.

The only way I can keep up with you is to walk backwards.

As of today we are 6 points behind Arse and 8 ahead of Liverpool. If we win then we are 3 points behind Arse and 11 ahead of the Redscouse. But after they play we would either be closer to Arse and the same distance from Liverpool, the same distance from Arse but further away from Liverpool or gained two points towards Arse, two further away from plop depending on their results. There is no point we would be further away from Arse or Liverpool closer after a win for us at the end of the game week.

Liverpool to win, dream big or go home.

I don’t think so.
Don’t try it whilst chewing gum.

[Somniloquism]

I see you ignored how you think Arse will finish this week further from us if we win.

[Mellin]

Yep. Top five is enough. That is done barring a catastrophe. Let's go for it.
