    They've been trying to sell the naming rights for ages, but nobody would meet their price. Because, you know, Daniel Levy.

    So I've felt this for the last couple of years but I assumed it wasn't that big a difference between previous years. Figured we'd floated around the same points total having dropped a couple more points away from home and picked them up at home but at this point our home form is literally keeping us in the league. I found that on home form alone Arsenal would have finished 3 points behind Man City and away from home been 2 points above relegation.

    Here's the form tables from every year from 2013/14 onwards. It's mental.

    Cracking win, but with both teams now ostensibly safe Sky are going to have to think of another feature to pad-out half-an-hour of build-up with. They must have run the little 'why don't Brighton like Palace?' segment every time they have played in the League.

    Ki gets the nod ahead of Shelvey who doesn't make the squad. I'm sure he's not knackered so I wonder if he's away in the summer.

    Southampton have perhaps the worst forwards of anyone in the league (how is Shane Long still starting at this level) and still Spurs have gifted them a 2-1 lead.

    Just need a fucking Burnley win tomorrow for everyone of the threatened teams to have won this weekend.



    I suppose, on the flipside, defeat for Burnley puts them right back into the mix down there.

    What's 7 changes for Watford all about? Have they drafted in Arsene Wenger as a caterer?

    Spurs dragging themselves right back into the shit with results of late. G'wan Jurgen, stick a bid for Son in whilst they're on the ropes.

    It's like one of those old Spanish relegation battles where Recreativo Chorizo and Atletico Torremolinos get cut off by miles early doors, and then another twelve teams end up locked on 37 points going into the last weekend.

    I remember the year Barcelona almost got embroiled in that, just before they hired Rijkaard.

    A mention of a Spanish relegation battle (and the attendant "little suitcases") is a nice segway into Watford's team selection, or rather, it would have been had this plan not seemingly been working reasonably well for them.

    Sorry Elton, that's me jinxed it.

    Went to go check the score after seeing this post and it was already 1-0. Impressive.

    Liverpool's home form against Burnely hasn't been that great over the last few years (couple of draws I think) and it's odd how certain teams seem to perform similarly over prolonged periods (Palace and Watford being two other examples at either ends of the spectrum for Liverpool). I reckon it'll be a gritty game.

    Actually, on the repeat performance front I seem to recall Watford getting absolutely fucked by the offside rule against City last season (albeit it at home when they got pumped 5-0).

    They are all terrible. Spent 20m on Carillo who is awful, Long who can run a bit and Austin who needs 10 chances to score.

    It's a good job Redmond and JWP have started scoring really.

    If we could get a 10+ a season striker in we would be mid table, as it is we are aiming for 17th.

    I still want us to raid for Ward-Prowse as a set piece specialist. Bet he could do the Jorginho job just as well as the original.

    Surely very much a thing of the VAR future.

    Him, Harry Maguire and let the rest take care of itself.

    The Knockaert goal. You just know he's gonna milk it with the fans at the end of the game as well. What a likeable little scamp. (Although should he have been sent off after 15 seconds?)

    I thought we played well and looked a lot more solid than pre-Huddersfield. Dunk and Duffy seem to be back to their usual selves. The game probably suited us - Palace have the ball, and aren't particularly suited to having it all the time, and we can defend the lead.

    Like you I was a bit miffed seeing the other results. But Burnley dropping down there, and it being one week closer to the end of the season with the same five point cushion isn't the worst situation.

    Big Dave sacked. Outsiders will understandably slate the Albion for it and the fans are quite divided but I think it's the right call. Shouldn't have been hired in the first place.

    Top top bloke but his naivety and lack of strategy totally underlined by bielsas Leeds dicking us. Loyalty to players he liked very frustrating - Robson kanu is League one. Persevered with brunt as ineffective centre mid for about three months and playing Gayle as winger to get him and Rodriguez in the team is like how id set up teams on cm as a child .

    He's one of those players that other than the odd free kick does nothing to really influence a game. Hopefully Hassenhuttl continues to get the best out of him.

    No idea why the ref is letting Burnley take so much time to do everything. If he continues to let them get away with it, they'll continue to do it.
