Even the signings they are making are unconvincing. Carl Jenkinson isn't exactly Jorge Costa, and Jeffrey Schlupp couldn't get into a struggling Leicester team. Evra might snub them, but even if he joins, a 35-year-old full back?
If we're really lucky, Chelsea will fail to replace Diego Costa, and recall Remy (if indeed that's possible). But even though he's decent, he couldn't save QPR a few years back.
Palace 11/4 to go down Still can't see it happening just think they are capable of putting a little run together and that the rest are so junk down there

Its like when we won the League One title though... All throughout that season I was thinking (and I'm sure many others were too): Oh this run will come to an end next, we'll go on a bad run soon and it was only after the Bournemouth victory that I finally felt we had it in the bag (funnily we then didnt win for three games with two defeats).
It was the same with Leicester last season; we all thought they'd fall away but they just kept going and look what happened.
I think the same will happen with Palace; everyone will say: Oh they'll go on a run soon, they have too... But they genuinely dont, putting a few wins together after such a long period losing isnt going to be easy for them in the slightest.

We need the other 3 clubs below them to get their act together. None of them look like having a storming run, so it'll stay tight at the bottom until the end, I imagine
i think swansea can nick a win and sunderland can never be written off.
Sunderland are going to be the new Carlisle (i.e. always in the relegation zone, always look like they're doomed but somehow end up surviving to battle another year) - Hull could be the ones to watch a 3-0 win over Bournemouth was no easy feat
As I've said before a cup run does little for a team in relegation trouble than having - more games with perhaps a couple of replays too, less recovery time, more potential injuries etc etc
Long may Palace's run continue - as long as they don't win the thing of course.

wouldn't mind them doing a wigan apart from losing in the fa cup final whilst already being relegated, hull and sunderland are heavily reliant on individual players defoe and snodgrass, if either of those were to get injured would be a huge loss to them.

Could not take the stress again of Palace or Millwall getting close to winning the cup. Bad enough that they've had umpteen days out at Wembley whilst we haven't even been to the new one once yet.
We're the only South East London club with a major trophy to our name, long may that continue.
Fat Sam hates the cups anyway. They'll lose to man city in the next round and hopefully lose every league game for the rest of the season. Hopefully Roland will take one look at the Holmesdale Ultras, realise that they've the least intimidating fans in the country, sell us, buy Palace and turn them into a Championship club with Premier League aspirations that finishes around mid-table in League One.

A big job.

Genuinely think this could be their year
Then looks like 2 from 3.

Hull City H hopefully a game where they need a result to stay in the league, we all know how that goes

Fat Sam has run his routine so many times with other clubs but at some stage it stops working.
