Now that makes up for last week! Every player worked damn hard today.

Just wish we'd put away a couple of those second half chances, would've made things much less nerve-wracking at the end!

I nearly cried last week at the stoppage goal and now am nearly crying with relief today!

This. We'd have fought for 2 points out of these two games and we got 3. 24 years since we beat Chelsea in the league (I must have been there but for the life of me my memory is blank).

Stuart O'Keefe, you nearly caused a heart attack (but you are forgiven).

great all round performance yesterday... we are so much better when we're not just sitting back and holding out for a draw... when we actually have a go at the opposition we look a decent side... hopefully we continue that for the final 7 games...

Sunderland have finally realised the mire they are in. The way they are playing now was how I expected them to play from the off.

Doesn't happen too often but this has been the perfect weekend for us. Now we need to make it count against Cardiff on Saturday.

http://www.rednbluearmy.co.uk/crysta...iff-vs-palace?

Zaha, now playing for the England Under 21’s after a couple of appearances for the senior squad, then let out an astounding admission when asked ‘what would you do if you scored?’

“I don’t think I could. If the ball comes to me and I have the chance to score I will deliberately put it wide. Or maybe over.”

The £15m man, who once wondered on Twitter why Cardiff are in the English league when they are based in Wales, was not finished there.

“Perhaps I can misplace the odd pass and give Palace a chance to score. I feel that I owe that to them for making me the player that I am today. Or maybe I can just sit the game out. My hamstring is feeling a bit tight.

The winger had one final shot before being hauled away by his late arriving agent.

“If I am totally honest, I still don't like Cardiff for knocking us (Palace) out of the League Cup Semi a couple of years ago so if I can help them go down then I would be happy with that.”

I assume you intended to leave off the final part of the quote? I was always told that the special circumstances of today ended at midday!

I'm really nervous about tomorrow. The Chelsea game gave me genuine hope of staying up for the first time, and if we win this one it'll all start to feel very real.

Bolasie is so bloody frustrating to watch at times!

West Brom 1-0 up at Norwich.

1-0 to us at half-time. a deserved lead. surely they will come and have a right go at us in the 2nd half?

One would think so. But if they do hopefully we can sucker punch them on the break.

Considering you were looking like the whipping boys of the league (no offence meant or intended) before he took over, and now you are anything but that, I think that shows just what a remarkable job he has done in his short space of time there with you.

No offence taken. Folks tend to forget we lost 9 of the first 10 league games. We were conceding left, right & centre and looked completely out of our depth. To even have a chance of survival at this stage is something none of us expected back then.
