It looks like a logical inconsistency to me. And I can't name 10 clubs in Europe bigger or better than we are.

Bigger - Manchester United, Liverpool, AC Milan
Better - Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich, Dortmund/Napoli.

There we go. The first three have better history and are a "bigger" club in that respect. The other seven are just...better.

Is that why Napoli got knocked of our CL group. Dortmund is nowhere near the team they were earlier in the year when we played in CL in terms of injuries and we split with them. If you really want to measure we have to look at criteria. If it is "better" I disagree certainly with regards to Dortmund and Napoli as of right now or throughout the season. Dortmund is behind Schalke and Leverkusen and neither one of those teams are all that mighty this year. Here are the teams if I am ranking the "better" aspect

1. Bayern
2. real
3. Barca
4. Chelsea
5. PSG
6. Juventus
7. Man City
8. Atleti
9. Arsenal

So Arsenal are in the top 10, even if you would rate Dortmund who is on the skids right now as being better, which I don't. Liverpool would have a fair shout right now at coming in ahead of us. That would still put us in the top 10 in terms of quality.

Dortmund are a fairly comfortable second now and are almost certainly in to the CL quarters. Depends what you regard as elite, for me the word elite is the very very best like Bayern, Real, Barca even Man U, teams who have a history of domestic and European domination. Arsenal are the level below, certainly no disgrace.

Ben Arfa is a luxury, who we can only afford to play at home. Too lazy. We're on holiday now after this game.

Palace 1-0 up

I can accept Johnson for howson, you won't a more physical presence

But Jonas instead of Redmond is just abysmal. Pathetic sub, Redmond is your game changer

by Fernando Sat Mar 29, 2014 5:17 pm

But Jonas > Messi & Aguero combined.

Stoke 1-0 Hull - Odemwingie

by Fernando Sat Mar 29, 2014 5:21 pm

Papiss Cisse gets away with a dodgy tackle. Andre Marriner didn't see it and booked Moussa Sissoko

(Not the 2nd part but Cisse should of been off)

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Mar 29, 2014 5:27 pm

Don't think Jonas had completed a pass yet

Johnson sends intent on getting sent off

Wonder if Shearer well ask what the fans expect up here this week

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat Mar 29, 2014 5:39 pm

Palace are ripping Chelsea apart

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Mar 29, 2014 5:41 pm

Norwich city, registered charity. Need a win? Struggling for form? Then play a game against us and your problems will disappear

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat Mar 29, 2014 5:43 pm

How was last week Olly?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Mar 29, 2014 5:43 pm

Just score you useless tossers and win me some money

Altidore > Torres > Dolph > RVW

If it makes you feel better Olly. Former Nodge striker Simeon Jackson has just scored.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat Mar 29, 2014 5:50 pm

Jedinak, Speroni and Puncheon have all been fantastic. The whole Palace side have been brilliant, but those 3 a little step above.

Could not give less of a sh!t tbh

That's six away defeats on the bounce. Pretty much ask against teams around us, just unacceptable. Have to beat WBA next week

Big game for Citeh now. 3 games in hand 3pts behind.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat Mar 29, 2014 5:58 pm

Stoke could finish above Newcastle. 10th would be their best PL performance wouldnt it? Not bad considering how bad a manager Mark Hughes is Wink

by Guest Sat Mar 29, 2014 6:00 pm

We are done for this season, thankfully Yohan & Remy's performances early on in the season saved us. If it wasn't for the points gap, we would be in freefall.

by Fernando Sat Mar 29, 2014 6:00 pm

Hughes isn't a bad manager you just have to look at the job he did at Blackburn. Some managers work at certain places. Just have to look at Brendan Rodgers got sacked several times then ended up at Swansea and moved onto Liverpool.
