Crystal Ball: POLL - Will we finish above Brighton?

[andyocpfc]

With three games to go for us, and two for them who is going to finish higher?

Will BHA finally manage to finish higher than us in many a moon, or will our superiority see us rightly back to where we should be come the evening of 22nd?

Our fixtures;

Villa (a)
Everton (a)
Man Utd (h).

Theirs;

Leeds (a)
West Ham (h).

As things stand..


P W D L GF GL GD PTS

9th - Brighton and Hove Albion 36 11 14 11 38 42 -4 47

10th - Crystal Palace 35 10 14 11 46 42 +4 44

No we won't, this is their moment

[Stinger1]

I think we will on goal difference.

[Dodds]

If they finish a place or two higher, I really won't be that bothered, we got to a FA Cup semi final and a day out a Wembley and they didn't, think most people would prefer that.

How crestfallen will they be if we pip them

[andyocpfc]

I think whilst it still in our hands still (sort of because of the GD), they have the 3 points advantage so make them slight favourites. I think they'll probably get 4 points from the last two games.

which is why I am being unusually halt empty on this one!

[palacemetros]

Wouldn't it be a shame if, not only we pip them, but Leicester split them and us and deny them a top ten finish.

Please, let it happen.....

[Supersonic]

honestly I don't really care. Considering Potter has had 3 seasons of developing that side, and Vieira just 1, plus we reached a cup semi final ... pretty clear to me which club is in the better place going into next season regardless of who finishes on top this time around.

[Hedgehog]

Hate to admit it but they appear to be playing very well at the moment (coincides with Maupay not starting?).

It took a while to get their act together, which in some ways bodes well for Palace's development over the next season or two.

At the end of the day, I don't think there is much between the two teams, so a little give and take is OK IMO.

[LuieJack]

Looking at the fixtures it is hard to see us climbing above them.

[Ant.Palace]

I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed them beating the wankers, though I feel dirty saying that.

But Leeds are fighting for their lives, and West Ham are pretty good these days so we've still got a good chance

[SelsEagle]

Not really arsed unless we finish say 15th and them 8th

I'd take a cup run over a couple league positions.

[andyocpfc]

It certainly matters to me living in and around the Sussex area and having quite a few Brighton mates - maybe that says more about me than anything else and my choice of mates

[EagleSE24]

Bha always seem to get a result against the hammers

[palace_burger]

3 wins and 8th is ours!

[andyocpfc]

That late Leeds goal could prove pivotal. Win both our games and we finish above them (assuming BHA don't hit West Ham for a hatful). Even a win and a draw might be enough, or even a single win if BHA lose to WHU.

It really would give me massive pleasure to finish above them.

This. It's going to be painful for them.

Of course if we don't then we can look back on this knowing how lucky they've been this season and how many shit refs we've had to play against. Whilst I'm delighted that Everton lost last game it does mean that they'll go full into us. There are 2 players they won't have though.

This is true, but I do care.
