Crystal Palace V Manchester City pre match thread

That top 4 head to head looks promising . Chelsea have took 13 points over 5 games

Please please please Mr Pellegrini make sure our lads are up for this today. Lack of effort or can't be arsed attitudes mustn't be allowed nor tolerated. Whatever it takes, bring us 3 points from Palace!

I think we will have a good idea by 6pm tonight where the title is going. It's the hope that kills you so I'd like today over with.

Neville was right on Sky.... The Pellers post match was "Flat"..... we need some fire to counter the dippers love in

Well if our manager doesn't believe we can still win it then he shouldn't be in the fucking job. Fed up with his constant "we played well" and "they are a very good team in this moment" after dropping points. With the exception of 2 or 3 others the rest are not very good teams. Demand the 3 points and the full on performance needed to get this done...

everybody in the media have dismissed ourselves and chelsea , similiar to 2012 , we were given no chance and we needed teams to do us favours , well the martyrs are playing a team that still has a chance of winning the premiership with a couple of games to go , do we really believe mourinho will throw 9 months hard work away ? Tough game for the martyrs today and although they will have the 96 in the sky and all their candles lit , Mourinho will hopefully give the irish messiah a lesson in tactics. We will then have to do our job against a resurgent but workmanlike palace side.

Cant see Chelsea winning, but can definitely see a draw, even with a weakened XI. It's far from over at that point.

And even if Liverpool beats Chelsea AND Palace, you never know what can happen against Newcastle. Very unlikely yes, but Newcastle's away record is a mile better than QPR's was in 2012. The final game is always the most difficult -- in any sport.

Man for man our team is better than Palace, so there should be no reason why we should lose today. However it is a question of whether the players are up for it. Palace will battle for every ball we have got to be stronger than they are and earn the right to play football the way we want to play it, and have got to start from the 1st whistle to the last, and not start the game slowly, like we have been doing recently.

Sadly Pellegrini doesn't strike me as the type who could fire our lads up at times like these.
Hope I'm proven wrong.

it's called dignity

it also means he wont be drawn into public squabbles or pointless 'mind games'

if you don't think Pellegrini is up to the job of motivating players based on what you see represented in stage managed, agenda laden showcase 'press conferences' then you may as well support liverpool (they wont get sniped at just the same as us and you can fawn over st. brendan along with the rest of the media)

incidentally, do you educate your children by the red tops?

just wondering.....
