Obviously the stadium looked lush.

I certainly enjoyed the game, what with the opposition not playing for a draw, did that come across?
We sounded great with lots of rude words, which is always nice!!.

If I were at work today, what would my palace supporting colleague be droning on about.

Sad to say I heard the Watford fans virtually all game.

I really really enjoyed that edge of the seat experience. It appears to me that the Gus hangover has been recovered from, those players, every single one, were playing for themselves and Oscar. I wouldn't criticise a single player and occasionally there were some sublime passes and through balls. Nowhere near perfect but I found the performance uplifting.

Virgo was completely unbiased, unlike Jason Roberts in the Reading game. Came across very well and even predicted that Watford may have too much for us pre kick off. Not many would have disagreed with that. Maybe he has a career in punditry ahead of him.

Lack of noise at times from home supporters I would imagine. Plus the obvious goal that wasn't. And empty seats (but not surprised given the travel conditions!)

Was the East looking empty?
The rest of the ground seemed to have a healthy turn out.
It's always nice to not have a fookin great big gap behind the SS goal.

Away fans always going to be noisier if they come in numbers.

He also spent most of the game playing with his phone.

Play doesnt seem as 'pretty' as last season, but with the players that are out, not a surprise
Crowd seemed very quiet, as could hear the players calling for the ball etc...could actually make out Andrews Irish accent.
Watford fans chanting 'hoof'...we seem not to be so keen on passing around at the back, but definitely getting ball forward a lot quicker.
Funnily enough, watching Suinderland the other day, they seem to now pass around the back, and one of the cutbacks into the box was
reminiscent of Caldy's goal, not that long back.

Atmosphere good and enough singing in the North and West at the game.

More empty seats in the middle of the east than I have seen before. Quite a few in the north too. The big block of empties at the south end always looks odd on the tellybox.

I don't get why people still don't understand this ??? Stick 2,000 of the most vocal fans in a small space and the noise they generate will be more than the home team who have singers 'spread out' all over the place.
