What a great game , thought we were dead & buried . Good to see Gayle get a couple of goals , has not be used enough this season , a natural goal scorer & spent most of the season on the bench . Felt strange these last couple of weeks not fretting about relegation or getting into play off positions . Can't finish lower than 11th , amazing !!!

Those final ten minutes last night with Murray and Gayle up front was great to watch. They had a brilliant understanding, apparently something they had been showing in reserve games. I'm hoping we get to see them start together at Fulham on Sunday, or at the very least more of the partnership next season.
well that was insane last night! ... in the holmesdale it was mental... when we got the first we celebrated like we had taken the lead... when we got the second we celebrated like we had won the cup... when we scored the third we celebrated like we'd won the league! if we had scored a winner i would have spontaneously combusted!
i agree with posts above, it would be brilliant to see murray & gayle start against fulham... they deserve it...

Palace refused to be overawed. Their fans were brilliant, the noise starting in one area, down by the corner in the Holmesdale Road stand, and swiftly spreading around the ground.
I expected Joel Ward to win the YPOTY, and it was nice to see Jedi pick up the Vice-Presidents POTY. Got to say I was a tad surprised that Speroni won the POTY award again. I thought either Ward or Delaney would get it. Not that I'm moaning as Jules has been exceptional for us once more.
Dwight Gayle - goal of the season, Villa away - no argument there. What a beauty that was!
As for the new kits, I'm delighted that we're going back to stripes for the home one!
Mate of mine said to me last night "if palace have another year or two of mid table safety will the fans get all charlton and moan it's not enough and force out the best manager we've had in a generation"
I bloody well hope not!!

God, I hope not. I'll take 11th place for the next decade right now...
We all ready for the party tomorrow? Hopefully we can finish with a flurry and get revenge that tonking we took earlier in the season from them - the only time we've conceded 4.
Good luck to you guys, and I totally mean it, you have had a great season since Pullis took over and that draw against Liverpool was astonishing, such a comeback.
glad they're going down, at least they won't score any more wonder goals against us! can't believe their equaliser right at the end! Gayle with both our goals. his second was a gem. big things ahead for him next season I think.
