Re: Staying top if the Premier League 2

Palace could be a threat if they make a couple of decent additions and keep Woy as manager. They have a game-changer in Zaha and decent players in support. They should not be battling against the drop each season.

Re: Eight points against the promoted teams, yet undefeated.

Only one of the 3 promoted teams managed to even score a goal against us in those 6 games - 1 team even failed from the penalty spot.

(edited following the reminder it was 1-1 at Newcastle.)

The M42, M6, M1, M5 and M40 are all nearby so it's got the existing infrastructure to hold it. But they won't... they'll end up building the next one...
