EMBARRASSINGLY EASY!

How are Palace a premier league team? I can't think of a worse visiting league team in our premier league era. They reminded me of the last six months of Hughton's team - they're only staying up if there are 3 worse teams. And there aren't. They're relying on points deductions for Forest and Everton...

The shit ****s!:lolol::lolol::lolol:
But, but, but.....they've got some injuries.

An early goal is so critical to how we play! I’ve always said a goal in the first 15 mins of a game and we are always mustard.

We needed that result.

Lots of positives. Hinsh is still 18, Buonanotte has found his shooting boots, Pedro is the real deal, Fati back.

Suddenly, we have options.

:facepalm: some of our passages of play was top top draw. If you didn’t appreciate that football isn’t for you.

Our passages of play are ALWAYS top drawer (maybe ignoring Luton).

It's breaking down the opposition in the final third where we struggle. It took two incredible assists, and two headers, to get the goals today - but if it wasn't for the scoreline, you wouldn't be saying that this was a top performance.

We've played better in some games where we haven't got the result. I can understand why it's difficult to look past the scoreline when assessing a performance though.

This was a 6/10 performance, but a 9/10 result. 4 moments of brilliance from individuals got the result today, rather than an outstanding team effort.

That result, and performance, illustrates, for the first time, the gulf in set-up that exists between our clubs.

They had a head start and, taking injuries into account, had to field that starting eleven. We, playing catch-up, and riddled with injuries, field that starting eleven.

They are working with a pensioner long since left behind by football and we are working with one of the most well regarded coaches in Europe.

In every measure of success, on and off the pitch, we have surpassed Crystal Palace.

It doesn't erase the pain of losing that play off semi final but it certainly puts a different sheen on it.

Up the f***ing Albion.

Brilliant result. Only let down was a sloppy second half, but we were ruthless in front of goal today and the result was never in any doubt once we got the third goal. SEAAAAAGUUUUULLLLLLLLLS

In sending us Mitoma home early, could be Ali J's most positive contribution for us ever.
