Would snap your hand off for a draw now. We've not been at it at all.
Fingers crossed Bojan was taken off for tactical reasons and hasn't got any kind of knock. Didn't look like he was struggling or having treatment when he came off thankfully.

Didn't look like he was struggling or having treatment when he came off thankfully. Looked like he was holding his leg when the camera just panned to the Stoke bench. Hopefully taken off as a precaution/to prevent anything serious.

Bolasie may as well just run around windmilling his arms all game, the ref's letting him get away with murder.

We've wasted every set piece and chance to get the ball in. Really poor game which neither side deserves three points from.

That free kick from Pieters was embarrassing, as was Wilson's corner.
Thought Arnie did well when he came on

Not the spunktastic performance I was hoping for but I suppose a draw isn't too bad.

Was sure we'd ship a late goal so happy enough with a point, especially for such a poor performance.
Thankfully no bookings for Wilson, Diouf and most importantly Shawcross. They would have been suspended for Chelsea which wouldn't have been ideal!
Terrible game, useful point. Let's hope Bojan was a precaution and there's no serious problem.

Similar game to last year and we lost that one. A point a decent result and an extended break before Chelsea. Games at Palace are usually shite and no change this time around.

There didn't seem to be much fuss given to Bojan. If he sat on the bench without receiving any treatment then it cant possibly be anything serious.
It will probably turn out that he has broken both legs now I've said that.

Like you said , didn't seem much wrong with him but maybe right to take him off as a precaution perhaps. Was heading for a draw from the 25 min mark for me and both teams seemed fairly content.

Good point today. Head on the block time then. And I'll try to do it honestly based on our form so far and not my usual slightly pessimistic Stoke supporting self Away v Liverpool 1pt Away v Man Utd 0pts Home v Arsenal 1pt Away v Palace 3pts Home v Chelsea 1pt Away v Everton 1pt Home v WBA 3pts Home v Man Utd 1pt Away v Arsenal 0pts If we do get 11 pts from those 9 games that will be good going. It could just as easily be as low as 2 pts. Not quite the results I was expecting but only one point down from where I thought we would be, not too bad, could do with a surprise win vs Chelsea or Everton to take the pressure off the WBA game.
