If you think we have a better chance of qualifying through Europa than top 4 you should be gambling hard. We're 5/2 to finish top four and 5/1 to win the Europa.
You'd hope so. The Selhurst faithful are a pretty forgiving bunch, but we're talking almost a calendar year of dire results in the league now, and almost all of the boards are full of CPers calling for his head. Plus, of course, the performances are actually getting worse. If the next couple of games go badly, especially against the sort of sides against whom we really should do something, then surely he's a gonner. We're all very aware that Allardice is currently available, and some ability to defend would be a welcome improvement. Given that I think he's probably have better players at his disposal than was the case at Sunderland, it's not unreasonable to expect him to get us out of this before it's too late.
Has the diving really got any worse the last two years? Anyway these are not the reasons I am watching less, just had stuff on at weekends and am probably just a little more selective than I used to be.
Team selection shows it's not being treated like a worthless cup but playing strong teams on Thursday is hurting the league. JM is having an each way bet on both but I don't think we have the squad for that. So he's risking both with the probability of neither right now.
Yeah I think this has been his biggest mistake. Either that or leaving out Mkhitaryan, but at least with that decision there could have been something we don't know about.
Went last night, ended up sitting next to the Sydney FC supporters, had a good night.
Yeah it's been discussed on our forums, someone checked and couldn't find a record of him.
He's slipped so seamlessly into Rosicky's role.
