I've read today that we can have Zaha for 5 million.
Snap him up I would say, let him get his confidence back and watch him fly.

Swansea have turned down a bid in excess of £3million from us for Neil Taylor.

today's team: debut for Sanogo.

Speroni, Ward, Dann, Delaney, Kelly, Puncheon, McArthur, Ledley, Zaha, Sanogo, Gayle

Subs : Hennessey, Mariappa, Hangeland, Guedioura, Thomas, Murray, Campbell.

Very attacking line-up today!

1-down. what a awful goal to concede.

2-down already. our defence is an absolute mess.

The defending for both goals was shambolic. They really haven't had to do anything so far as we have gift-wrapped everything for them.

2-1. great finish from Gayle.

have we finally woken up?

That was much better from us but every time they come forward we look nervous at the back.

Plus, some of our passing has been bloody sloppy again.

half-time: 2-1 down.

worked our way back in to the game quite well. been the better team for a good 15 minutes or so. all's not lost just yet.

Phil Dowd should not be a referee.

Our pathetic start to this game has become even more frustrating as we have been in control since then. Got one back, could easily be level. Their defence is not good, they can be got at. Hopefully we put them under real pressure in the second half and stop the sloppiness that has cost us.


Took the words out of my mouth. Appalling official.

2-2. lovely strike by Punch! game on!

Great effort from Puncheon!

Like I said, their defence can be got at.

The sloppiness begins again. Good clearance from McArthur off the line but no thanks to Ward.

we've been poor in the last 15 minutes.

Murray off the post! so close!

So unlucky. Great reaction volley from Murray. Deserved better.

3-2!! Gaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyllllllllllllleeeeeeeeee!!

Get in Gayle! This lad can finish! Top strike!

yes! full-time: Burnley 2-3 Palace

great comeback! huge win!

Boom boom boom! No one else in our squad would've finished that like Gayle.

What a win.

Massive result for us. Let's just forget that opening 15 minutes and concentrate on everything after that.

Two top finishes from Gayle. He just needs a good long run in the team and he will score goals.

Top finish from Puncheon, too. Their defence is suspect so I'm glad we kept at them.

QPR, Villa, Sunderland and Leicester all lose as well. makes the win even more important!

5 unbeaten in all comps now too.

The league table certainly makes for better reading this evening!
