Whatever he did before the game against Sheffield Wednesday, do that. We were a bit better than Wednesday that season, and we're a bit better than Cardiff this season, so I can't see why we can't take the game to them with the same attitude, while also trying to keep our defensive structure. But...

Fair enough.

That's not the ****ing question!

We did go 2 up front when Jose came on. And no we weren't balls to the wall before that, but we also didn't start the game as defensively as we usually do. You didn't quote that, so I wasn't sure what you were referring to. I'm certainly not suggesting there's only one way to attack, I said when...

We were attacking when they scored on the break after half an hour. We continued to attack. Who's suggesting there's only one way to attack? You said they didn't come with an attitude of "Don't lose at any cost", and I'm simply pointing out that neither did we.

And our cup run.

That's where I'm at. Tomorrow is the Championship playoff final. We need to start with a good atmosphere, and not get on the players backs if it doesn't start well.

You talk sense, but it's easy to see Cardiff beating Fulham, and you could imagine some Palace players saying to each other 'you know, I'm not that fussed if we lose this one' - and if we go into the last game of the season level on points, I would not be at all confident that Cardiff couldn't...

That's not the question!

Neither did we. We were attacking, and we got hit on the counter. We were defensively poor. We didn't play the defensive style that Chris so often has us playing. We played defensively at the start of the season, and racked up the points. Then after Christmas, we experimented with 433, and...

You mean, some people don't understand basic English, and interpret the question incorrectly? Ah, so you answered the question that was asked, as opposed to answering one that wasn't. Cunning.

Er, if we don't buckle, and we get a point, they'll only need 2 more wins than us, not 3.

Oo that's a tough one. I've ummed and ahhed, and decided on no, I wouldn't. If we can only manage one point, that could be our last this season, seeing Cardiff pass us with wins against Fulham and Palace. Despite the fact that we've had some shocking games recently, I still think we're better...
