I so hope they bottle this

Why on earth would you go all that way to Wembley, which really is a fabulous arena, and leave before half time? I've never understood that mentality at all.

Our record at home against the top sides hasn't been that bad - Unlucky 1-0 defeat against Man Utd, 1-1 draw against Spurs and Arsenal, only Liverpool have dominated us. It'll either be a draw or another unlucky defeat. Need to win though really.

Let's hope that means we will be taking the full allocation in both matches.

Palace will be fine, Huddersfield are our main rivals IMO. I still think we'll just about finish above them, but we need to beat Bournemouth and Swansea at the very least. A bonus win at the weekend would ease the pressure.

We'll always be bigger than them, whether they like it or not.

I'm liking this agression. It's what you need in a relegation battle. Now if someone can knock out that **** Wilshere and get a suspension it'd be fine by me.

Hello Arsenal down to ten too!

Stephens sent off. Might be good news, he's a liability.

Stephens what is he doing???

Irrespective of whether we lose or we do go on and get something, we have seen something today, and that is some fight.

**** **** **** and ****

Mark Hughes does read this forum!! Haha, Sims coming on now, excellent stuff. Let's go for this, I'd rather lose having gone for it then settle for 2-2. We can win this, gotta believe.

Oh boy you would've put money on Austin to stick that one away

We drew 2-2 at Arsenal in our relegation season 04/05 too #omen

As someone who has criticised Cedric a lot, he did very well there, he made the goal.

AUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlie Austin on for Yoshida Going for it now

Yup Austin needs to come on. Sims as well.

Andre Marriner is one of the better refs in this league too. Poor day though for him.

This referee is a joke. Tadic bodychecked.

Right, come on lads. We can do this. They are there for the taking at the back.

Long goal but disallowed. Just offside

The audacity of this board to think we could sell VVD and not replace him is what has been our undoing. Moping or not, with him in the team we wouldn't have conceded three last week or at Newcastle.

We are creating chances, so definitely an improvement on last week's shambles
