This.Its a shame that this result means no more to you than a routine win against anyone else in the league.
Palace fans are tearing themselves apart over this tonight. They're hurt, they're furious, they're embarrassed, they're miserable. We did that to them, and absolutely rubbed their noses in it to the extent that they literally couldn't take it, and walked away. Walked out. The ones that remained then gave dogs abused to the team when they went over to applaud them. Wonderful scenes.
WE did that to them. It feels really, really good and I'm going to be walking around feeling a warm Ready-Brek glow for at least a week. I don't get this deep satisfaction from any old win. This was special.
At end of the day it is just 3 points, but it just wouldn't feel the same if we'd won 4-1 against Fulham, Sheff Utd or Burnley.
Everything is heightened. For every ounce of Albion euphoria you know theres an equal ounce of Palace despair.
The 2nd/3rd within 2 minutes, the absolute scenes and joy, then a minute later everyone full pelt in the NS singing "You're f***ing shit".
Not only have our players ripped them a new one, the gleeful delight of Albion fans rubbing their hurting egos in shattered illusions, NEVER gets old.
This is sporting theatre.
Today we kicked their sorry arses on the pitch & terraces. Back up the M23, humiliated with their tails between legs.
