I know it's ingrained in most of us to root against Chelsea in these types of games, but we could do with Palace dropping points. The sooner we can build a decent gap between ourselves and mid-table fodder such as Palace, West Ham, Liverpool etc, the better.
It's true, but the pleasure to be gained from watching them end up in the bottom 6 at the end of the season is so tempting.

Yeah, a draw would probably be best. Slows Palace down and prevents Chelsea from creeping away from the dog fight.

Always maintained that Chelsea remain a threat, everyone on here had already dismissed them.
They've been bang average today and were gifted a goal tbf. If CP had a decent striker they'd have taken the lead in this and been on for the win imo.

Nothing today has shown me that Chelsea are going to go on any sort of run.

They may look different after the window, but the spirit isn't there right now with them. They look flat.

Agree. As much as I hate Chelsea they ain't getting top four this year anyway. We also play Palace soon, so a few confidence sapping defeats wouldn't go amiss.

Yeah, but let them drop points against teams other than Chelsea. The longer that shitstain club stay down where they are, the better.

Pretty sure Pardew's gone 442 with Zaha off of Campbell or both of them interchanging in taking point.
