[Albion] Is there something quite sweet about beating them whilst playing not so well?

[Bold Seagull]

Most definitely

Almost as sweet was seeing the Palace fans at the end of the game as good as telling them to f*** off as they wandered over

I completely expected the West Ham fans to do it as their performance was particularly lacklustre. Last night though I thought Palace betrayed their current form and league position with a performance that shock us a bit, and could consider themselves unfortunate not to have got something.

Their players gave their all I thought, quite surprised with the reaction they got at the end. That's loyal ultra support for you though I guess...

I did wonder at the time what more they expected..well apart from a goal that is

Swinging? It's well and truly swung.

We are SO far ahead of them now it's ridiculous.

A mere 15 points clear (with a 28 better GD) plus two games in hand of course.
4 points off them this season (only not 6 due to VAR error)
Superbly well run club with an owner who's actually a real fan and supports the club - not owned by a combination of a spiv and want-away Americans.
A Manager who is the envy of pretty much every other club in the PL
A team playing the best football I've seen in 50 years of watching.
A team that cares - with a remarkable 'togetherness'
Squad made up of internationals including a World Cup winner and some of the best South American youngsters.
A scouting and recruitment policy that's top class.
A club that is not 13 years old.
A state of the art stadium, with no cladding, not one with the health hazard of an away stand with the worst view in the FL.
World class training ground.
A stadium with four new stands, not the pipedream of 'possibly, maybe' one new one happening some time in the 22nd Century (once they find that 'ring-fenced' money)
No goal music/drum/always Ultras with embarrassing crayon displays.
FA Cup quarter final to look forward to at the weekend.

Going back to the OP - yes, we didn't play anywhere near our best, and yet with the exception of the first 10 minutes plus injury time, they did nothing - yet we still won with ease.

They are hurting at the moment, and I love it.

Yeah, but apart from that- - -
