Palace v Leeds

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 6:44 pm

A big game tonight, a Palace win coupled with us beating Watford at the weekend would have us above Leeds before they play City in the late kick off on Saturday. Leeds goal difference is a lot worst from ours, so a scrappy 1-0 win for Palace, a couple of reds for Leeds and a few hamstring injuries would be nice though.

I think a draw would be a good result.

I really think that Leeds are deep in the doo doo. Palace SHOULD win tonight, but you never know, but their next 3 then is City, Chelsea, Arsenal. I would LOVE IT, LOVE IT, if they went down. Don’t really mind Everton, but Leeds down? YEAH!!!

Another game of interest.

Anyone rooting for Preston tonight?

Fully expecting a Leeds win. Anything else is a bonus.

Placed a bet on DL at 2/1 - really hoping I lose my bet!

Also on Everton at 9/2 at the weekend - really hoping I lose both bets!!!

Of course.
PNE can hammer a dirty great big nail into the coffin of Rovers playoff hopes. If Venkys lose, that's pretty much it for them.

Be brilliant if Everton and Leeds both in London on last day fighting (knowing Leeds fans, probably actually fighting) for survival, the Toffees at Arsenil and Dirty Leeds at Brentford.
So with us sitting pretty in safety it would make for a great Sunday Afternoon on the 22nd of May

The way Rovers or shapin they look set for their usual mid table mediocrity

Wheels have really been coming off lately.
Such a shame gor them.

Preston/Palace double tonight.

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:11 pm

Spent few hours awake last night.
Thought a draw tonight would be good.
At first I thought Villa losing to Norwich was a good thing, but in a few hours of thought I changed my mind to I think a Villa win is best. They are then on 40 points and on the beach.
So we then play them twice and they might not try so hard.

The only bets worth making are those you want to lose!!

Massive games. Every game at this point is big, but I get the feeling how us, Leeds and Everton do against the mid-table sides will decide it

Squeaky bum time for the Leeds contingent on here. My only concern is Palace will have 1 foot on the beach.

Looks like Preston have rubbed the suntan oil in, booked the jetski and got the Pina coladas in.

Bloody Preston.
If they spent less time bleating on about being a 'City ' & more time playing footy....

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:51 pm

After our wins and given DL's next few matches, a defeat to night would be brilliant. But Palace are so unpredictable.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:54 pm

Almost a must win for DL.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:57 pm

Palace are a bit like Southampton in that they are capable of beating anyone, but also capable of losing to anyone.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 8:01 pm

Preston pull one back.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 8:08 pm

Good chance early for Palace. Leeds running aimlessly but doing it very quickly

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 8:10 pm

3 for Rovers

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 8:12 pm

Whilst no fan of DL they have been very unlucky to lose the spine of their side, Cooper, Phillips & Bamford, for virtually the whole season.
I don’t class late goals as lucky but congratulate the scorers for going for it but they have had their fair share of luck. Got a late equaliser against CP, at home when CP had missed enough sitters to have won with a cricket score. They beat Norwich with an injury time goal, when effing Gibson headed a ball up in the air that was comfortably going through to Krul. The biggest slice of luck they had was Jiminez shocking red card after Meslier kicked him. 2-0 down they went on to beat Wolves, 2-3.
Come on Palace

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 8:17 pm

Palace miss a great chance.

At least Palace aren't on the beach.

Ref appears to have left his cards at home.

Leeds taking turns to foul Zaha. Might not be wise to poke the bear !

1-4 Rovers.

There is a complete lack of quality in the Palace v Leeds game it has to be said

Leeds never change. Fouling and whining as usual

91 yellow cards for Dirty Leeds this season

Beagle · Post by **Beagle** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:18 pm

Lack of quality made up for by aggro. Dirty Leeds up to their usual tricks in front of a crap ref. Zaha more interested in pulling off a convincing dive than a decent shot.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 9:21 pm

Agree with Townsend.
Zaha should have gone on his own then.
