The Fizzy League Thread

Wolves were brutal it has to be said. Scannel was warming the bench (and not looking too happy about it) while Lee is unlikely to make the Irish team. With Warnock as their manager and with Palace a place below Wednesday is the relegation dogfight, you know where my sympathies lie.

Great result of the Palace tonight, the cash injection from the Villa game can hopefully let them keep their head above water if only for a few weeks!

I really hope they can pull a rabbit out of the proverbial hat against Villa - Palace are in a do-or-die situation financially and in some ways a draw is the optimum result for them. I'm not a big fan of Warnock but have always had a soft spot for the Palace since the days of Eddie McGoldrick and Ray Houghton pulling the strings in their midfield. With Lee, Scanell and McCarthy in the reckoning at the moment it's a good team to follow from an Irish perspective.

I have a mate who's been an ST holder at Palace for 20+ years, Scannell had some injury niggles and has been out of form apparently, because of the size of their squad though ge's likely to get a fair amount of game time.

I thought Lee did well, puts himself about and is a handfull, nowhere near good enough for Ireland but then again I've said that about a few down the years...

Hopefully the 500k from winning the other night plus the 2.5m from Moses keeps them afloat, I think i read that it was about 5m needed fo they're a good ways to that goal. The problem is until they buy the ground they're always going to end up this way.

A few Irish on the scoresheet last night. O'Connor and Potter for Wednesday, Murphy for Ipswich and Long (2) for Reading. Apart from the bottom two, most of the other teams near the bottom keep picking up points bringing the likes of QPR and Bristol City close to the drop zone. Pick any one of 8 for the last relegation spot.
