Three wins is very doable, lads. Good fixtures and teams around us faltering. Europe is still possible, and I believe the boys will be fired up. A tired Palace focused on Europe up next!

05 May 2026 08:43:36
Yet another very very late goal against us again.

05 May 2026 09:25:49
Can only see a maximum of three points out of these last games. Palace are still very good at home, and Spurs will be safe by then and want to finish the season with a win.

06 May 2026 16:54:17
Palace's form at the moment is shot. I got us getting something out of that game. I reckon we'll get either 4 more points, and we have a very good chance for 6.

Thought Tim and Merlin were absolutely fantastic tonight, especially Tim.

We all love him but Ndiaye let us down tonight imo. Finishing was poor and there were plenty of opportunities to play it to a man in space but he went for glory instead.

Played well tonight but absolutely criminal that we allowed them to score straight from kick off. We never learn.

First half was a very poor one. We weren’t competitive and the second half, when we were, showed that. It’s a bit cheeky going in just a goal behind so I’ll take that. Second half was so much better.
It’s all too often we are not up for a game until the second half or when we go behind. The coaching team are struggling to affect change in this area, which will continue to be a concern and will continue to stunt our progress to a level where we can hope to win silverware.



Felt like a loss last night, against a top team means we can be really good. Just need it from the start before I’m convinced we can win anything under this coaching team.

{Ed025's Note - you are right Ace the two halves were night and day mate..

05 May 2026 10:30:18
Blue Nose, agree with all you say. Seeing Merlin in the first half, beating City players for pace on the right, something that's been lacking. Hope to see more of him in that position.
Tim, very good.
Correct on Ndiaye, wasted chance when he could have passed to a team mate.


Barry, I don't know what to say.
Everton's defence far better with Branthwaite playing. Not taking anything away from Keane, who is also playing well.

05 May 2026 11:15:15
Merlin looked very promising. Hope to see more of him before the season ends. Tim was great at closing down and tackling. Just needs to learn to pass to someone on his team. Some encouraging signs from our younger players though.

04 May 2026 23:31:58
Proud of them.

05 May 2026 00:24:10
Me too DMS!

05 May 2026 03:01:23
Great to see Tim & Merlin starting, both had fantastic games.
As usual though, a lack of concentration & seemingly poor decisions from officials cost us again.
It's been a transitional season & one I'm happy to have after the past few. A good summer window & hopefully we'll be competing for 5th next season.

Yet when Docu got the ball, I was shouting at the TV to block him because you could just see what was coming. But, all in all, as frustrating as it is, 3 games 3 late goals, Moyes will address that again as I'm sure he already has, but I'm happy we got a point and scored 3 goals against City, which I never imagined in my wildest dreams.

So on to the next one! coyb.

05 May 2026 08:49:46
Alright lads. Good effort by the boys, but have to say their second goal was very poor. Both central defenders switched off, and neither got anywhere near their striker from what was a very simple pass.
Think someone has already mentioned that we've now lost 4 points in our last three games due to conceding late goals, and I know many saying a draw against them is a great result but not when you're 3-1 up.

Even against teams like City at 3-1 up we have to manage the game better. Live and learn, I guess.

04 May 2026 23:04:07
I'm not lover of Arsenal, but I sure as hell hope they win it, rather than those cheating person's.
He must run special coaching days, for, how to con references, and his pupils are really good at it.

04 May 2026 22:58:14
Have to say well done DM and the lads they gave their all. Well chuffed with our progression since DM came in.

05 May 2026 00:26:46
That was a really good performance, GB.

I just wish we could cut out the last
minute sickeners a bit!

But there is real progress this season.

05 May 2026 09:28:37
First half too negative. Second half very good up to the 90th minute, then lost focus again.

04 May 2026 22:11:40
Up to the 65th minute I would of bit ur arm off for a point. Now I'm gutted that's all we got. Another last minute goal. ?

{Ed025's Note - from heaven to hell in 10 minutes Ron..

04 May 2026 21:09:00
We need to learn to roll around better for next season, wins you an awful lot of free kicks.

04 May 2026 22:24:30
We were robbed. How many points have we lost by conceding extra time goals?

{Ed025's Note - shot ourselves in the foot i would say Mike..

04 May 2026 23:22:15
Four in the last three games, Mike.

04 May 2026 19:43:37
Well I never! Changes with two young players starting, maybe it's a new beginning!

04 May 2026 19:24:06
Big changes tonight, Tim for Gana and Rohl for McNeil with Beto back up front, happy with that.

04 May 2026 22:10:15
Merlin had a great game.
