Saints deserved to be relegated after that performance.
Premier League Gameweek 34 weekend and midweek fixtures (14th April - 19th April 2018)

That will be enjoyable but sadly enough there games are pretty easy. WBA and Stoke who are dead relegated, Bournemouth and Brighton at home and both have nothing more to worry about. I don't think Liverpool will even need a full team to win at least 3 of these 5 matches.
It's a shame Southampton will probably go down but you can't excuse that. You are fighting relegation and are 2.0 up with half an hour left, you need to be holding on for a point. They are a good club but with just no real quality forward. I always feel the one's that stay up are either strong defensively or have goals. Southampton are bang in the middle with niether. Good footballers but no real bite either end.
That's probably the case. But you never know though.
Some proper jonahs in this thread 
Spurs will be delight by that result, those 5 goals put Harry Kane at the top of the scoring charts!
Dermot Gallagher having a shocker.
Why the feck are people upset that Chelsea won? I'd rather they win all their games and deny the bin dippers top 4. Get your priorities straight.
Just got grilled!!
Another reason people get so annoyed with refereeing. Just admit he made a couple of big errors today. It happens.
Trying to defend him is nonsense.
I've said it before, if referees came out and apologised for a mistake, they'd get a lot more respect.

All a bit awkward that.
What has he said?
Just wouldn't admit the ref made a mistake. Kept say he must not have seen it. Then the replay shows a clear view about 10 yards away from it.
Palace and Brighton is a derby game. Right okay.
I know it's not that far but it seems weird given how many clubs are closer to them in London.

Basically kissed Deans arse. Said he couldn’t see Alonso challenge even though he was staring right in front of it.
Then the build up to Chelsea’s first goal where there was a foul he twice told them to go back to the original position of the ball and then just seemed to say ah feck it when they took the free kick in the wrong position again.
Dermot just kept defending Dean non stop. Even Dennis Wise wasn’t impressed with his analysis.
A win this weekend and we could have been confirmed for Champions League.
It should only be a matter of time, but would still have been nice to think Champions League secured with 5 games to go, especially after several years of it not being so straight forward.
Very small to no chance that Chelsea can catch Liverpool. Would rather see Chelsea with a billionaire owner struggling even more.
They're around 1.5 hours apart it's true.
Yet PL clubs don't want VAR yet. It wouldn't have helped today, but next season it would prevent this sort of stuff. If Alonso had gone, then it may have changed the result.
The only ref who seems willing to ever say when a ref has made a mistake is Graham Poll.
I know Poll himself is a complete prat, but at least he doesn't sit on the fence. Every other ref seems incredibly reluctant to criticise another official.

My Palace mate explained it to me, but I can't remember the history of it. He despises them
Hopefully the uproar will get Alonso a three match ban.
I don't how it's being used now. I can understand waiting til they actually sort it out. It really shouldn't be that hard.
Brighton & Palace hate each other "The A23 Derby" goes back to 70s when Alan Mullery took the piss out of Palace fans at the end of a very feisty game...... something along those lines anyway
Chelsea have about a 5% chance of getting top 4.
Plus Liverpool are winning the CL so won't need top 4 anyway.
I have a soft spot for Swansea and their coach. Hope they win today and stay up.
3 PM kickoffs
Palace ahead already. Zaha.
Palace draw first blood
That defending from Brighton
Chris Wood has given Burnley the lead against Leicester.
Burnley with another 2-0. Long.
Burnley take the lead
It's that man Chris Wood again
And now it's two nil
Edit: fecking Long. I put Tarkowski in my team instead.

Chelsea go to Burnley on Thursday evening. Don't think they will be as obliging as Southampton.
Sean Dyche should be winning Manager of the Year.
He has done a fabulous job. Everton were stupid ignoring him.
Kevin Long makes it 2-0 for Burnley
Everton may go for him during the summer, can't see Allardyce staying there
Put Long in didn't I!
Brilliant shout.... err...even if he can't shout.
Give him a giant gold plated Halls throat sweet
Burnley fans digging out their passports
Shane Long? He made the switch from Southampton?
2-0 Palace! Tompkins.
