A big game tonight, a Palace win coupled with us beating Watford at the weekend would have us above Leeds before they play City in the late kick off on Saturday. Leeds goal difference is a lot worst from ours, so a scrappy 1-0 win for Palace, a couple of reds for Leeds and a few hamstring injuries would be nice though.

I think a draw would be a good result.

I really think that Leeds are deep in the doo doo. Palace SHOULD win tonight, but you never know, but their next 3 then is City, Chelsea, Arsenal. I would LOVE IT, LOVE IT, if they went down. Don’t really mind Everton, but Leeds down? YEAH!!!

Another game of interest.

Anyone rooting for Preston tonight?

Fully expecting a Leeds win. Anything else is a bonus.

Placed a bet on DL at 2/1 - really hoping I lose my bet!

Also on Everton at 9/2 at the weekend - really hoping I lose both bets!!!

Of course.
PNE can hammer a dirty great big nail into the coffin of Rovers playoff hopes. If Venkys lose, that's pretty much it for them.

Be brilliant if Everton and Leeds both in London on last day fighting (knowing Leeds fans, probably actually fighting) for survival, the Toffees at Arsenil and Dirty Leeds at Brentford.
So with us sitting pretty in safety it would make for a great Sunday Afternoon on the 22nd of May

The way Rovers or shapin they look set for their usual mid table mediocrity

Wheels have really been coming off lately.
Such a shame gor them.

Preston/Palace double tonight.

Spent few hours awake last night.
Thought a draw tonight would be good.
At first I thought Villa losing to Norwich was a good thing, but in a few hours of thought I changed my mind to I think a Villa win is best. They are then on 40 points and on the beach.
So we then play them twice and they might not try so hard.

The only bets worth making are those you want to lose!!

Massive games. Every game at this point is big, but I get the feeling how us, Leeds and Everton do against the mid-table sides will decide it

Decent summary from BBC

LEEDS UNITED (16th, 33 points from 32 games)
Tonight - away v Crystal Palace; 30 April - home v Manchester City; 8 May - away v Arsenal; 11 May - home v Chelsea; 15 May - home v Brighton; 22 May - away v Brentford.

BURNLEY (17th, 31 points from 33 games)
30 April - away v Watford; 7 May - home v Aston Villa; 15 May - away v Tottenham; 19 May - away v Aston Villa; 22 May - home v Newcastle.

EVERTON (18th, 29 points from 32 games)
1 May - home v Chelsea; 8 May - away v Leicester; 11 May - away v Watford; 15 May - home v Brentford; 19 May - home v Crystal Palace; 22 May - away v Arsenal.

Rovers leading

Rovers 2 up

Squeaky bum time for the Leeds contingent on here. My only concern is Palace will have 1 foot on the beach.

0-2

Come on you “superiors”!!!!!!!!!!

And Palarse!

Looks like Preston have rubbed the suntan oil in, booked the jetski and got the Pina coladas in.

Bloody Preston.
If they spent less time bleating on about being a 'City ' & more time playing footy....

After our wins and given DL's next few matches, a defeat to night would be brilliant. But Palace are so unpredictable.

Almost a must win for DL.

Palace are a bit like Southampton in that they are capable of beating anyone, but also capable of losing to anyone.

Preston pull one back.

Good chance early for Palace. Leeds running aimlessly but doing it very quickly

3 for Rovers

Whilst no fan of DL they have been very unlucky to lose the spine of their side, Cooper, Phillips & Bamford, for virtually the whole season.
I don’t class late goals as lucky but congratulate the scorers for going for it but they have had their fair share of luck. Got a late equaliser against CP, at home when CP had missed enough sitters to have won with a cricket score. They beat Norwich with an injury time goal, when effing Gibson headed a ball up in the air that was comfortably going through to Krul. The biggest slice of luck they had was Jiminez shocking red card after Meslier kicked him. 2-0 down they went on to beat Wolves, 2-3.
Come on Palace

Palace miss a great chance.

At least Palace aren't on the beach.

Ref appears to have left his cards at home.

Zaha lucky not to get carded. Can’t see Ayling getting off this pitch Scott free either

Well they wouldn’t be. They’re not safe themselves yet.

Leeds taking turns to foul Zaha. Might not be wise to poke the bear !

Game over at Dumpdale.
1-4 Rovers.

There is a complete lack of quality in the Palace v Leeds game it has to be said

Leeds never change. Fouling and whining as usual

Decent game with a bit of needle. Draw is not a horrendous result for us.

It's a bit feisty

Darren England really is a crap ref

DL living up to the reputation they have so far

Not impressed with Zaha, vastly overrated

91 yellow cards for Dirty Leeds this season

Lack of quality made up for by aggro. Dirty Leeds up to their usual tricks in front of a crap ref. Zaha more interested in pulling off a convincing dive than a decent shot.

Agree with Townsend.
Zaha should have gone on his own then.

Zaha’s showboating driving me mad.

Zaha is ****
