Awards night:

Scott Dann wins the Player of the Year.

Goal of the Season goes to Mile Jedinak for his free-kick against Liverpool.

And next season's kits have been revealed (hope the link works!) LINK.

Dann has been quality all season. Good choice (although I'd have gone for Puncehon).


No chance. They'll want to sub him before then to give him an ovation. Definite penalty coming on 70ish minutes.


I'm quite enjoying it. It's not usual we have nothing to lose.

well deserved for Dann, as was Jedi's goal of the season.

not sure about the new home kit, I prefer narrower stripes but I like the away kit a lot.

New 4-year deal for Puncheon.

And a 1-year extension for Delaney.

Link.

^ good news on both counts.

the more I think about today the more I just know they are going to get either a dodgy penalty or a controversial goal or decision in their favour. I hope the ref doesn't weaken to the occasion.

today's line-up.

Hennessey, Ward, Dann (C), Kelly, Souare, McArthur, Ledley, Puncheon, Lee, Bolasie, Chamakh.

Subs: Speroni, Delaney, Jedinak, Mutch, Zaha, Campbell, Murray.

Well, the first word that springs to mind with that team is experimental.

A lot of people have been clamouring for Hennessey to start so let's see how he does.

C'mon Palace, let's mess up their big day.

why are we giving him the guard of honour?! what the hell?! he's eff all to do with us!

Hang on, I thought this was a league game not a testimonial!

i'm on my knees praying to a God I don't believe in for a win today!

Not impressed with all this hoof ball so far. Have we forgotten how to pass?

our crossing letting us down.

And that is why we don't normally play Kelly at CB. That was extremely poor and just as we were getting on top.

awful pass from Kelly.

Jesus, Ledley, what a glorious chance to equalise! keep it down!

Bolasie, like Ledley thinks we're playing rugby. Nice conversion.

just like the Chelsea and Man U games - we don't deserve to be losing.

Puncheon free kick again! Beauty!

oh yeah! nice one Punch! we deserve that.

half-time: 1-1.

a decent half that.

We've had some good chances and wasted them - if we could finish, we'd be such a good team. Thank the Lord for Puncheon.

Yeah, good half. Once again shows how much we need a proper goalscorer up front, though.

what a shock, we don't get the penalty decision.

Zaha! Super-sub!!

Haha, go on Wilf!
