Nope 2 more victories will secure a place for next season
Nope. Lose against Cardiff and there'll be wet beds.

I like this comment from the BBS.
Can some one remind me of our 2nd and 3rd goal in the reverse fixture in December? Granted they were not 'worldies', but were bloody great goals*.
Oh, and I can't say they bossed us, we let them have the ball when there was no danger.
*With 9 men for the 2nd, then 10 men for the 3rd.
And all in the first half [emoji3]

I watched the game having recorded it, and after seeing Roy Hodgson's comments around "We controlled the game". I found myself wondering how he worked that out, and thinking that having most possession does not mean you are in control.

Baffling really.
I thought the opposite to Roy as well. How many blocks by Dunk and co. How many saves did Ryan actually make? We nullified them in the final third and to me, that's where it matters.

We defended. We're good at it. Get over it, Roy.
We got two quality goals which showed up the shortcomings in your defence. Get over it, Roy.

I really can’t remember Palace having a clear cut chance

They had a couple of chances but Dunk got in the way. I doubt Ryan had to wash his kit after the game, he was virtually a spectator.
The game was played to our tune, we quietened their “famous” atmosphere and danced on their pitch at the final whistle.

Over the two games, Palace couldn't score a goal from open play.
But we knew that would happen. Palace don't try to score from open play, their entire gameplan is based on trying to win penalties.
Contrast Knockaert running at Van Arnholt to create a chance to jink inside and unleash a shot, vs Townsend running at Propper in order to push the ball away and then fall over with the aim of getting some contact on the way down. That's the Palace way.

We’re still buzzing aren’t we!
It's difficult to score when you fall over every time you get in your opponent's box.

Absobloodylutely
And why not? Its not every season you get a win against your rivals, so to do the double.....
Well put it this way, i doubt there are any Palace that have ever seen their team do the double over us, afterall WW2 and putting a man on the moon are more recent than the last Palace double over us.
It is, literally, a dive.

Re penalties, my view is:
1. Other than the 'penalty' Palace were awarded there was also the cringeworthy dive by Tomkins in the dying seconds of the 1at half, where he lobbed himself at Knockaert. Horrible.
2. Bissouma could easily have gone down late in the 2nd half when in the box when shoved, but stayed on his feet.
3. It's soooo obvious that the Palace strategy is to get into the box and run around until they can 'draw' the foul. The fact that Zaha has been more productive lately is that he's stopped looking for the penalty and is trying to shoot at goal.
