Yeah refreshing to see. We're really in a great position as a club right now.

The one downside of being successful though means putting up with Sky's bullshit - the Liverpool game has been moved to the evening, meaning there'd be no chance to get the last train back that night. ****ing Sky.

Decent profit, decent manager, decent squad, decent owners.
This is Palace FFS, isn't it about time we threw it all away as is the clubs tradition?
Haven't felt this good about palace for about 25 years.

5.30pm kick off for that game now on May 16.

also the away game at Chelsea has been moved to a 1.30pm kick off on May 3rd and the home game against Man United on May 9th is now a 5.30pm kick off. both games live on Sky.

So Nigel Farage is a palace fan!!
What have we done to deserve that bellend?

could be worse, could have been Clegg!

two worrying stats ahead of tomorrow nights clash with Man City.
1) we've lost the last 7 in a row in all comps against them!
2) Pardew has lost the last 8 in a row against them!

Why does sky do this. We are on at 8pm tomorrow on a bank holiday, they did this to us last year against Liverpool. If it's a bank holiday, why not have the game at 4pm?

Can you not drive up? Appreciate it's a long drive but you'll get home, if there's a few hire a mini bus, may be cheaper than extra cost of a hotel?

Haha those stats. Well we were never going to win anyway, least can hope for is my fantasy team getting some points.

I agree surely anyone is better than clegg? (Even my auto correct wanted me to change it)

My main hope for tomorrow night is that we actually give City a game unlike the encounter at Selhurst last season when we basically handed them the three points.

Definitely no Chamakh once more but Ledley looks to be fit. Hopefully the front four of Murray, Bolasie, Zaha, and Puncheon all have blinders.

tonight's team:

Speroni, Ward, Delaney, Dann, Kelly, McArthur, Ledley, Puncheon, Zaha, Bolasie, Murray,

Subs : Hennessey, Hangeland, Souare, Boateng, Ameobi, Sanogo, Gayle

Murray! 1-0!

complete smash & grab!

half-time. 1-0.

no idea how we're ahead! we've defended well but have been pretty poor overall.

2-0!!! Puncheon!!

what the hell?!!

YES!! oh YES!! 2-1 it finishes!

fantastic defensive performance!

I've calmed down a bit now. Murray was a giant, ran himself in to the ground, but they all played their part. we rode our luck but it was earnt with that huge effort.

and now Stoke and West Ham are in our sights!

Crystal Palace 2–1 Manchester City: Eagles Easter egg all over City faces

I love Glenn Murray so much. Incredible effort all game.

They all worked so hard actually. We've really built a good team up and it includes 7 of our Play-Off team!

What a night.


We were thinking about staying the night instead, but gonna save the money now. Especially as we definitely have a third Premiership season on the way!

That is true, hoping for top 10 now!

Got in a little while ago (glass of wine waiting for me for the victory) that was incredible! To be fair man city did deserve a goal, some of their chances were fantastic, however so bloody proud of the team. No clear motm for me which speaks volumes. Wilf's chance in the first min and half was brilliant. My only criticism has to be Sonago. Murray worked so hard and yaya just looked bored and the comparison was shocking. I know Murray was tired and due to injuries, suspensions and loans our midfield is stretched.

Bloody good win and seriously proud of the lads tonight. Did us proud

Never been as proud of my club. A night to go down among the best with an atmosphere to match.

get the hell in!! top, top, result... the work load those players put in last night was awesome... everyone did a job but I will say murray was exceptional leading the line like that...

... I reckon result wise that beats the victory over chelsea last season...

and to think we still have jedi and chamakh still out... I don't reckon they're getting back in at the moment!

The atmosphere last night was nuts!

Not much more I can add to what has already been said. To a man we were terrific. The effort and desire throughout was top notch even if it was bloody nerve-wracking!

Is there a better English centre-back than Dann right now? I may be biased but I don't think so.

Got to admit we got lucky last night , but three great points , same result against the other lot from Manchester would be good .

Roy Hodgson was at the ground last night.


A good article here with Steve Parish talking about the potential takeover - LINK

If dann was at a bigger club he would be in the England squad. At one of the top four he would be a cert to start for England.
He is immense, hasn't put a foot wrong for weeks now.
Bet Pardew can't believe how lucky hes been walking in on this team. Makes you realise quite how badly warnock got things.

My sentiments exactly. Let's hope none of the big boys get any ideas about him in the summer.


If we'd kept Warnock we'd be propping up the table right now, I'm certain about that.

Got in to a bit of a spat with a West Ham fan on Twitter. Slagging us off, calling Parish a joke etc.
Says it's sad that we are happy with being a bottom half of the league team. This is where I don't understand West Ham fans. They are just about on a par with us, they haven't been 'big' for nearly 40 years yet they still seem to think they deserve to be in a way higher position than they are.
Am I wrong for being happy with comfortable survival after all we've been thru or should we be like West Ham and constantly demand more than we could ever achieve?
