angelman Posted 11 May, 2016 Share Posted 11 May, 2016 I'm OK with that. It's in our hands to finish above them. So be it. Obv not as good as a Chelsea win, but at the start of the game, would have settled for a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 11 May, 2016 Share Posted 11 May, 2016 Good result. If we both draw and potentially if they draw and we lose narrowly then we still finish above them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordic Saint Posted 11 May, 2016 Share Posted 11 May, 2016 Finishing 6th would be nice, but even if we finish 6th or 7th, we'll need Man Utd to win the FA Cup. Finish 6th and Man Utd win, then we qualify directly for the group stages. Not if we finish above Man Utd. 5th is looking distinctly possible as both Man Utd and Palace will rest players before the cup final and West Ham should struggle to do better than draw away to West Brom. In fact, we could finish just 2 points off a Champions League place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_D Posted 11 May, 2016 Share Posted 11 May, 2016 So, win on Sunday, and we finish above Liverpool for the very first time. The last team we need to tick off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 11 May, 2016 Share Posted 11 May, 2016 One point better off than Liverpool with one game to go ain't half bad. I don't think we will finish sixth but expect us to secure seventh now. All we can do is win and I think we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Lej Posted 11 May, 2016 Share Posted 11 May, 2016 To be fair, if we can't beat a Palace side who will no doubt be much changed and with one eye on the FA cup final, then we'd have no one to blame but ourselves, so you've gotta be happy with things as they stand, heading to Sunday.

Saints foreva Posted 11 May, 2016 Share Posted 11 May, 2016 Let's just make sure we do the busy so that if the opportunity arises we're there to take full advantage.

They are at west brom. What's wrong with people that's a great night for us. It's in our own hands whether we finish 7th or not and then if we win we need West Ham to not win at Stoke or Utd to beat palace in cup final to get in in 7th. Much better chance after that result.

A loss tonight would have meant a draw against palace would have been sufficient to finish ahead of Liverpool (barring them beating WBA by three goals). Yeah it clearly makes a difference if we don't beat Palace. But our players, at home with a fully fit squad, must be confident. I fully expect WH to beat Stoke but if in January anyone had said we would need United to beat Palace for European footy we would have bitten their hand off, so if that happens it has to be great.
