Nothing but a win tomorrow and one he'll of a run will drag our asses back into this now, draw or lose and that's our lot I feel. Hats off to Palace today, didn't give up for 90 minutes, and although it was an own goal by Terry, hard work and determination brings you luck, something we've not done all season.
So, no pressure or anything tomorrow Fulham, it's do or die. Personally, I don't think we've got the balls for it this time around, but that's just my opinion.

Summed up quite nicely.
Win tomorrow we are off the bottom, up to 18th and back in it. still annoyed Palace won

So am I, but it's pointless counting on other teams to get us out the poo! At this time of the season all teams like Palace start to scrap, so results like this are not a rarity and shouldn't be taken for granted. It's down to us to do the bizz now and go on a 3 game unbeaten run, but I doubt we've got the balls.
Let's get 3 points tomorrow first and open up this race
If we win tomorrow, the race (as stated earlier) is blown open. With those 3 points and based on Villa's recent form, I would put money on a possible 3 points there. Stoke and Tottenham are a totally different animal, but IF (big IF) we win tomorrow and at Villa, and win our 3 remaining home matches, that is the 6 wins out of remaining 11 we'd need to survive when Mags took charge. A point at Spurs and or Stoke wouldn't hurt either.

Sorry to sound like a big fat defeatist here, but where is this Champions League type form you speak of going to come from? We've not seen it all season, and for the life of me, I can't see it coming in these last few remaining games. I'm hoping you can see something I can't.
Palace's win effectively means we must now perm three from four - not five. The net gets tighter and tighter. The odds on not being one of the three aren't good, to say the least.
We will lose tomorrow probably quite heavily. It's been a long time since we had players prepared to die for the club and this lot certainly aren't. Probably something to do with the fact they are all millionaires (and that's the way it should be) whereas in past times it was vital for a player to get a new contract as there was in general not much waiting for him outside the game.

We need no less than a 3 game unbeaten run in my eyes to turn this around, which isn't going to happen.

Every player at every club is a millionaire these days, but they all seem to fight for their teams. Apart from Sidwell, they have shown very little fight. 092.gif
36 points gives us a slim chance of staying up.
37 points a reasonable chance
38 a good chance
39 and we're virtually certain of staying up.
Lets not worry about the next 3 games just concentrate on the first one, it's old saying "one game at a time" win it and then worry about the next one.

A fair call so.......
Felix show the team you select tomorrow THIS post - & also the fans pics AGAIN
Depending on the outcome of the game you will really know what you have - but more importantly what you need - this season or next & it could change for the better
Albeit staying in the Premiership (your greatest achievement in your own words) or dropping into the Championship with whatever that brings, certainly no guarantees of a return
So Felix tell them to play as if no pressure exists
Tell them no one expects us to beat Everton - so relax & play them, beat them, drive them into the Thames, send them packing back oop North!
Show what you are capable of - FIGHT THEM!
Deliver for the future - yours, the players, the fans, FFC & that most precious commodity the fans
There is nothing left unless we start to play & take the win
No pressure really
Everyone expects Everton to beat us - so change it!
Nothing else matters other than your own pride in performance
FIGHT!!
7 wins WILL see us safe & many WILL have a future @ FFC
COYW!!
I'm hoping that the players may show a bit of self respect as the game is being televised and also seeing as Palace were able to overturn Chelsea (albeit with Terrys generosity).
Everton may choke as well - everyone will be expecting them to beat us and close in on the top 4. Although saying this they will probably save the choke for when they play their game in hand against Palace.
I don't suppose players or management read any of this especially the night before a game!
It would depress them further!
Let's hope they turn up and fight for their lives! If we do go down, let's do so fighting!
Palace crowd were 12th man today, we must make some noise! Get behind the team
COYW for gawds sake!
Dire Straights - Brothers in Arms - Why Worry?
Especially now?
Given where we are....
Who believed in impossible
Come on the players who DO read this forum
We believe - in you!
Spread the word
COYW!

the thing I would say is it's not champions league form to beat Hull, Palace and Norwich at home. If you look at our fixtures they actually bode really well for us and
IF we win tomorrow I'd actually back us to stay up considering our remaining games and the momentum and belief it would give us.
If we lose today our confidence will be knocked for the other games i fear. Oh I wish we could win, but I've said that through so many games this season
This will most likely end up in a draw today, both teams need the points so this how it will end up. If we go out and try to out score them we are done for just look at Newcastle mid week. The big result was Norwich losing and west brom drawing, those teams are really poor at the moment. Let's get behind the lads and show we still have fight. COYW
que sera sera, whatever will be will be
i just hope felix picks the right team (the one that beat newcastle need a replacement at centre half so heitinga and bring back reither at RB) gives them a mega kick up the you know where and they do their very best for 90 minutes.
i suspect felix will make more changes, not for the best, and the team will compete for 20 minutes and do what we do best this season, give away a foolish goal, and then collapse.
in some ways if we went a goal down and came back to win that might do more for confidence, but i can't see our lame duck players doing that
I go on hope rather than expectation, the palace result was a complete disaster.
