Winston Biscuit seems odd that L1 finishes this weekend when the PL has 5 games left

URZZZZ Slightly strange fact, today was Palace’s first win by a single goal. 9 wins previous, all by a margin of 2 or more
Can see them having a really good season next year if they add a ST

Maybe, but what is a really good season?
The same question arises for Brighton and Southampton IMHO in that will fans be content with mid or lower mid-table year on year.?
You can see what sometimes happens when clubs get ideas above their station, e.g. classically Charlton.
What surprises me is that these types of teams don't have a real go for the 2 cup competitions as they are very, very unlikely to make the top4 and only possibly the Europa League spots through league positions.

I think if Palace can get into the top 10, added to the semi final, that would be considered a good season.

The issue though is not what you, me and URRZZ think-it is the owners and their ambitions.
Of all the mid-tablers I think Brighton are the best run club with an owner who is realistic despite being known as a big punter away from football and their fans appreciate how far they have come from those years travelling to Gillingham and then to the out of town running track.
The good thing about all 3 of those this season is that they are all good to watch whereas Wolves for example may end up higher in the table but aren't IMHO.

Yeah that was top class. I know there are questions about his command of the box but he's a great shotstopper.

NathStPaul Really hope Gareth Southgate is paying close attention to Anthony Gordon. There is a lot of potential there, would argue he's already a better bench option than Marcus Rushford for England.

Loafer Could Everton do it? I don't know.
