Delaney scores! out of the blue!

didn't last long. 1-1. More awful defending.

Our defending is simply laughable at times.

2-1 down. and all thanks a ridiculous foul by Ward. our defenders cost us week after week after week.

Norwich are now winning. We are slip-sliding towards relegation and neither Pardew or the players have an answer to this.

Crazy free-kick from Payet, but a stupid ****ing foul to give it.

Let's keep it like this as long as possible in the second half and hope to somehow knick a set-piece goal again.

Ward should have his pay docked for that free-kick. what a moron.

if Sunderland score we'll be looking relegation right in the face.

Mark Clattenburg's usual shit self has maybe given us a chance...

Hammers down to 10 men. I wonder if we'll be as bad as we were against Liverpool when they went down to 10?

Gayle! Come on! FFS come on!

Nice one Gayley! come on Palace!

FT: 2-2

at least it's a point. but that's 14 without a win.

Would've taken a point before this one. Next week is huge.

Well, would have taken a point beforehand so can't moan too much. But we really should have put them under a lot more pressure once we got it back level. Sako was awful in that second half - lazy & disinterested.

Norwich beat Newcastle, Sunderland draw. Two home games now against Norwich and Everton. If we can somehow muster 4 points from those two we will be ok.

it is better than nothing and as far as I'm concerned(I support both teams) a fair result

7 clear of Sunderland, 9 clear of Newcastle and with a superior GD over both sides.

Norwich next week is massive. we have lost our last 6 at home on the bounce. we are one game away of equalling our top flight record of 15 without a win. What a time to put both of those dismal statistics to bed and save our Premier League status.

Sako strikes the ball great, but other than that he doesn't seem good enough for the Premier League.

I thought having Puncheon back made a difference today.

Sunderland play Leicester next week, Newcastle go to Southampton. So, if... and I know it's a big if, but if we can beat Norwich we could all be breathing a lot easier.


Yeah, he made a decent return. Jedi did really well today, too. Ward was poor again, though. Some of his decision making at times is shocking.

Hopefully Wickham is back next week. Pardew better not start a game without a striker up front ever EVER again! it NEVER works!

Pardew has just said that Wickham, Ade and Cabaye should all be back next week.

Agree about the striker. Bolasie on the wing is such a major threat. Bolasie through the middle is not.

thought we got away with it yesterday... at 2-1 down and 11-a-side it just looked a matter of time when they would get the 3rd... but we handled their sending off well to get back in to it and perhaps should have done more to go on and win it...

pardew starting with no striker again was criminal...

massive game against norwich now... about bloody time that we not only won a game but won at home...

The possibility of Brighton coming up is getting stronger by the week. Makes it even more important that we secure our status - imagine playing them as a Premier League fixture next season!

How many tickets have you guys sold for Wembley?

We've sold about 20k so far after the first couple of categories (ie the STHs and core away fans)

Gone onto anyone with a Fan ID now so probably sell a few more but TBH wouldn't be surprised if some are put off by the cost/potentially another trip to Wembley and our general form in recent months.

Not sure on the figure, Mark, but there was an update on the official site yesterday. We're currently on Phase 4 until midnight tonight, plus they've now introduced a Phase 6. They are saying that all new paid members will be able to get a ticket so I think we will sell out eventually.

It's been a crappy way of doing it, IMO, I miss the days when you could just go down to Selhurst, queue up overnight, and pick a ticket or tickets anywhere you wanted. I did that for the Cup Final & replay in 1990 and all the Play-Off Finals up to the 2013 one.

phase 6 goes on sale from tomorrow morning... but for some reason the club haven't revealed how many are left for that...

...agree about it not being the best way to sell them... even though i qualified for phase 1 i had to wait until phase 3 to get my ticket as i wanted to sit with friends and even then it took ages to get an area where we wanted to go...
