Interesting one. I think they might try but then revert to type once City take command.

No.
If they do I will donate £50 to REMF. If they pick up another point I will gladly donate £10 to the REMF.

I think that they will get beat by Man Utd at Old Trafford which could be immaterial as I think that they have to attack Palace at home which will give Zaha and Townsend the space to counter at speed which Cardiff defence doesnt have, so expect Palace to at least get a draw at Cardiff.

This is the Manchester United Football Club, that astonishingly lost to West Ham on the last day of the season in 2007 , meaning West ham...(playing an illegal player in Tevez ! ) escaped relegation in place of Sheffield United. Manchester United were managed by Sir alex Ferguson and were the Premier League Champions.
Even more remarkable, was that West Ham were subsequently found guilty of playing an illegible player in Tevez but were allowed to keep their three points and merely compensate Sheffield United for £5.5 million.
I remember arguing with Jevs on here about it, but he was resolute at the time, that ******* West Ham did nothing wrong.
Football is littered with unfairness and incredible end of season games.

Even during our worst run of form, we always step up against the big teams. Usually that stepping up means putting in a great defensive shift, bodies on the line, not giving opposition too much time and space. But against the big teams that is not usually enough. They will always find a way through.
For us to win against Man City we need to cash in all of our 'it evens itself out over a season' luck. Those penalties we've not been given. The offside goals that were allowed to stand. The opponents not getting red carded for things our players were. The goalkeepers playing a blinder. The bounces and deflections that never fell for us. That all has to swing in our favour for us to have any chance.

A draw against Arsenal or Man City is not enough unless we can get 2 draws, so do we go for it and 3 points at Arsenal? Or do we shut up shop like at Spurs and try for 2 draws?

Mental isn’t it? Apart from the fact that professional pride and risk to livelihood will make sure that no PL player is ever going to throw a game, there’s £2m up for grabs for every league position, and Palace can realistically overtake West Ham to finish 10th.

We shut up shop, preserve the GD and hope to get a late winner from a set-piece. Going for it against either Arsenal or City will result in heavy defeats.

I don't think that the GD is of any concern but I do see the point and logic of shutting up shop and then hoping to grab a winner in the last 10 minutes.

Roy and Chris get on very well personally, so I think he'll try and do his friend a favour and beat Cardiff.
Utd will be chasing a spot for CL or Europa, so they'll be all over Cardiff too.
Cardiff are stood at the gallows. Must be a crap time to be a fan for them.

I'm not sure we can trust De Gea to keep Niasse off the scoresheet.
Cardiff won’t win at OT. Players will have one last attempt to impress OSG, before the clear out.
Definitely better to be a Brighton fan today, rather than a miserable
Cardiff fan preparing for eye-watering matches against Luton and Barnsley. Warnock must be gutted after his euphoria from the win at the Amex.

No. Chelsea just need to beat Watford at home next week and that pretty much guarantees that Utd can't qualify for the CL.
