Good on Burnley for turning a profit. Leicester will be in trouble when the fair play rules kick in.
No, they really won't. Most of our finances went on improving the club including millions on a new pitch and an entirely new grade 1 youth academy. We have one or two players like Beckford and Danns that Sven put on stupid money but other than that we're ok.

"Charlie Austin: Burnley striker to miss rest of season"

Palace have been really shit recently. I don't think Holloway knows what he's doing. Started off well but I think that was down to what Freedman left. Freedman now has Bolton playing like Palace were.

So 3 games to go (4 for Palace), Cardiff are already up. Predictions?

Cardiff
Hull
Bolton (play off winner)

Peterborough
Barnsley
Bristol City

I'm going to stand loyal and say we will win the play-offs. In truth I don't even think we will actually make the play-offs but still... What a fall from the top we've had. Still after such a shit run you never know 7 wins in a row would now see us in the premier league. Same can be said for any team from 3rd to 8th. Can't see Hull losing second spot now either. Fair play to Steve Bruce.

Our game at Palace is massive. I can't see us winning because we never do at Selhurst. However if we managed it a home win against Watford would probably seal a play off spot and then we'd probably have the task of beating Forest at the City ground to deny them one.

Interesting run in but the relegation form of two wins in thirteen matches destroyed the season for Leicester.

Ugh. Leicester were the better team over the 90 with some good passing and your forward lot did well. Both sides looked poor at the back especially us.

All in all I think a draw was a deserved result but if anyone was going to walk away with 3 points it would have been Leicester.

Just looked at the BBC stats, what a load of shit. There is absolutely no way you had 18 shots let alone shots on target.

We need 5 points from our last 3 games. Even if we somehow do it we haven't got a hope in hell of getting promoted.

I'm going to stick to my original prediction. Hull will secure promotion next week. Bolton have been doing very well. Imagine Brighton will get to the final, they seem to be scoring for fun.

Relegation battle will be interesting. Anyone in the bottom half is in risk.

Only knew how the scoring went didn't know about the actual match. Dot think either of us have got much chance to be fair. Shame after how the season was for the first 30 games or so...

Holloway is a pratt. He was clueless at Leicester and got lucky with Blackpool as far as I'm concerned. He hasn't got a clue. Only manager to take Leicester to the 3rd tier of English football says it all. Granted he inherited a squad but had plenty time to turn it around. He had no idea. Still doesn't!

Well I got Cardiff, Hull, Peterborough and Bristol City right.

Can't see us beating Brighton, so Brighton vs Leicester final. Leicester better win.

I'm hoping palace win play-offs if not then Leicester will do
Mainly so Palace can play a full season and Zaha can enjoy the bench.
Happy to see Wolves go down Though. Interesting news at Burnley it's we've let Jensen go
And grant is apperently going back to Derby also Ings, McCann
Paterson and Bartley all going and if Austin and Trippier Get sold we age fucked...

You are indeed. I can understand Jensen being let go though, he is getting on a bit and you can get better. It's just sentiment that you want him to stay which is understandable as he has been there for 10 (?) years.
