Alright. We started this when you said we had taken a step backwards this season. Although our team isn't as good this season, clearly, and frustratingly, i believe that our fundamentals are stronger, and hence that we have not taken a step backwards. All teams at any point in time have a...

Because when you're deemed to have failed at a big club your star fades precipitously. Whilst when your on the way up, teams don't want to miss out in case you're the messiah, so tend to promote too early. It's one of the better arguments for getting Potter back, we wouldn't be looking over...

Well obviously i disagree. I think if you went back 2 years and sold Mac Allister that summer and then had March, Mitoma and all the rest injured for that season we not only wouldn't have finished 6th but also wouldn't have been sitting 10th with six games to go. If you want to argue the...

Jeez how did that Watkins shot not go in? That was astonishing

You're just focusing on short term ceiling, but perhaps we should consider the floor? Every individual season is at the whim and mercy of injuries, form and luck, but there is a long term trend which is more important. Differences in finishing positions are just noise around a mean. I think...

Three seasons ago 13th was the best ever finish in our history. Don't let two exceptional seasons make us think that finishing 13th is bad.... If that can be our floor we should be delighted

If that's the way you choose to look at it we're taking a step backwards regardless, whether we're 8th, 9th, 10th or whatever. Personally i don't think this season is a step backwards at all. When you climb a mountain some bits are easy, some bits are hard, but as long as you keep pushing on...

It's unfair on RDZ, and indeed also on Potter. They're just following the same path - arrive abd change to a more exciting style, get g some great early results but start conceding a lot on the break, and after a while find the rest of the league have worked you out. It takes time to adapt to...

There isn't a lot of difference between 9th and 12th, so hard to care too much. Nevertheless, West Ham losing keeps alive a dream of europe if we miraculously manage to win our last five on the spin.

Can't argue that Palace have been great this first half. When you get Olise and Eze on the pitch together they are compelling to watch. This is how you play when you get an early lead at Anfield. I can see them doing it, Liverpool look off, and agree with Cheeky , if there is any team I can...
