[lw789]

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew knows that his side have to address their home form if they are to arrest their alarming side down the Premier League table. The 2-1 win at Stoke on December 19 took them up to sixth but they are winless in 12 league matches since, leaving them in 15th place, eight points clear of Norwich City in 18th.But despite their recent travails, Pardew believes his side can give surprise league leaders Leicester a fright this weekend. Leicesters Jamie Vardy scores the only goal in the reverse fixture in October The results at home havent been what Ive wanted since I got here, says Pardew. Our philosophy is to go toe-to-toe.I want us to be more consistent and be an established Premier League team. For half of last term and half of this one we were, but we must improve.Ive got some great players here, I love managing them and I love it here. Im looking forward to these next nine games.Our history is littered with upsets against the odds, thats what this club is about. The stars have aligned and the planets have aligned for Leicester this season. Theyve had hardly any injuries, made hardly any mistakes in their campaign.Now the run is clear for them, they are the clear favourites, even Sir Alex Ferguson said theyre going to win it. For us, its envy a little bit for what theyve done and also admiration. Yohan Cabaye scores the first goal in the 2-0 FA Cup win at Reading Pardew is taking heart from the 2-0 win at Reading in the sixth round of the FA Cup and is urging his team to translate their Cup form to the league. They have won just four league matches at Selhurst Park this season. He said: Were in decent form but not as much in the league and we have a chance to turn that around in this next spell and theres a real determination this week on my part, the coaches part and among the players to do that.I noticed in the end period of the Reading game that we saw the game out comfortably. Weve not done that in the league and thats telling me there is a slight psychological issue with the team.Its understandable when everyone is reminding us of our position in the league and we have to get over that. We have to see a game out.

This years combines will held in Edmonton on March 17, Montreal on March 19, and Toronto on March 20. The national CFL combine is set for March 21-23 in Toronto. "The league introduced the regional combines last season in order to provide more players opportunities to work out in front of scouts and coaches," said Kevin McDonald, the CFLs vice-president of football operations. "And the results and feedback were very positive." The CFL also announced it has adjusted the invitation process. The top 40 players eligible for the CFL draft on May 13, as ranked by the teams and league office, are invited to attend the national combine. The league, with input from all teams, will then invite additional players from the regional combines based on performance. Theres no minimum or maximum number of players required tto be invited to the national combine, but the expectation is that six to 12 players will be extended an invitation.dddddddddddd "This year we have initially invited fewer players to the national combine to provide us with more flexibility to invite players who perform well at the regional combines," McDonald said. "Last years regional combines added three excellent players to the national combine roster, and they all went on to be selected in the first four rounds of the CFL Draft." Those players were Concordia defensive back Kristopher Robertson, who was selected in the second round (11th overall) by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers; Jermaine Gabriel, a defensive back from the CJFLs Calgary Colts, who went in the second round (17th overall) to the Toronto Argonauts; and Michael Klassen, a defensive lineman from the University of Calgary, who was taken in the fourth round (32nd overall) by the Montreal Alouettes.
