Observations from tonight
1. Clackers - ok, good for the kids but too orchastrated and as Palace would say - tinpot - did not like, did not use.
2. Blue and White sea at the start - a more magnificent site in my life I can barely recall, I will take that to my grave
3. Tactics - not good, no change made when it was clear after an hour Palace were starting to boss the game
4. Holloway - not the numpty some thought, got his tactics tonight spot on
5. Palace fans - support was very good but then it would be when the team infront of you, did a bottle job in the second half
6. The opera singer was superb, as it transpired she was probably the highlight of the night and worthy of the entrance fee alone
7. Poyet post match - a pretty poor interview, it is not all about you Gus
8. Brighton fans, very good until Palace started to over run us in the second half
9. Zaha - wanker, his goading the fans when he scored with Clattenburg by his side was worthy of a yellow
10. Chances created, er none from 90 minutes, Barnes came closest
11. I worry now we will lose Bridcutt, Kuszczak, Bridge, Upson and a few others, I hope we did not peak at 7.40 pm tonight as everything then reeked of a premiership club
12. I stood infront of the Palace fans at the end kissing the BHAFC badge as they may have taken away my dream but they will never take away my pride
13. Palace were the better team on the night and deserved to win
14. I hope Watford win but I am not really f*cked either way tbh.
All in all a bad day at the office but we will punch on and let's see what next season brings.
