Crystal Palace manager, Tony Pulis, fresh from moaning about how much money Manchester City have got has been speaking ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Norwich City.
He reckons that his side are the underdogs, so he clearly hasn’t taken any notice of our club’s recent form!
‘They are all worth three points,’ he said when asked if the Norwich game was more important than Manchester City, in their fight against relegation.
‘The Man City game has gone now so the next big game is Norwich. Every game is a cup final for us in the Premier League. We played well at Chelsea and didn’t get anything, we played really well at Man City and picked no points up.
‘All that we did is brilliant for confidence and everything else and gives the players a lift to go out and compete with top-class players.
‘The bottom line is when it comes to Wednesday we are playing another team who have more experience than us in the Premier League and have had more years to bed down. We will be the underdogs again, we are the underdogs most weeks and we just have to accept that.’
Following narrow defeats at Chelsea and Man City many Palace fans will be targeting the City game as one were maximum points must be taken.
But Pulis is wary of that fact and is still expecting a tough test against Chris Hughton’s side.
‘That (expectation) is something you have to deal with,’ he said.
‘The players have to deal with that, there is no hiding the fact that we are playing at home and we need to win home games. We are hoping that we get some points.
‘Norwich are one of the teams in the bottom half of the table who will be looking to get points as quickly as they can, much like us.’
A win for City would put six points between us and them, on the other hand a win for Palace would see them overhaul us but be level on points.
Looks like the definition of a ‘six pointer’ to me.
