Hoped for a draw. Expected to have a much wider sphyncter at the end of the game than when I arrived. Metaphorically speaking.

Be honest - what did you expect from there?

It was fairly obvious what would happen next.

30' Balogun replaces Gross ��
31' Balogun scores ⚽

35' Andone replaces Murray ��
45'+4 Andone scores ⚽

And we would be the first team ever to have 2 subs score in the first half in the Premier League.

I'll be honest - not that worried.

Palace looked like scared rabbits in the headlights from the off. Something very wrong there at the moment, the fans are quite obviously too busy arguing with themselves.

Not too much time to think about it, before the 2nd goal which made a huge difference.

Firstly discussion on what had he done, assumed (correctly) head butt, then who was going to come off as we were clearly going to bring Balogun on, and it had to be Gross, then elation from the 2nd goal.

But probably expected us to perform as we did in the second half, with nerves being eaten away as Palace had all the ball, and scored one leaving us trying to hang on.

Really pleased to be proved wrong

If that's correct its a brilliant stat

Thought we might have some advantage seeing how Leicester played so effectively against us with 10 men.

When the 2nd one went in from the corner, I thought we'd win regardless.

The 3rd was not so much as going for Palace's jugular, but more ripping it out and tying a knot in it before stamping on it.

After going 1-0 up, I thought this is good.
Next Duffus, gets himself sent off, by doing the worse slow motion headbutt I've seen, right next to the ref :facepalm:
I thought a draw would be good.
Little did I know of the impending outcome.
Watching on Bein Sports with an Arabic motormouth of a commentator, was quite special, with gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaallll being shouted three times.
Seeing our chaps play their socks off was brilliant, along with the antics of Mr Tumble was quite special.
The night was rounded off, by one of my work colleagues returning tonight, with a silly grin on his face (he's a Palace supporter).
Roll on Burnley....... :thumbsup:

Honestly thought we could hang on, but expected it to be much more difficult, never in a month of sundays would i have expected what happened.
