Well done Alan Pardew. I have been one of your main attackers. Now I gladly eat humble pie. I apologise. This is now a serious premier league outfit. To be dominated by Everton at home - a good Everton this season - and to not bend over for a meek bum-thrashing, but instead to come back, dominate the second half at THEIR stadium, beat them (which we did but didn't get the rewards for), means simply that CPFC has turned a critical corner and are now 'Premier League' contenders. well done SP, AP, The board, and all the staff and all the lads. You did it!

I went into one of the suites after the game and saw Everton "legend" Graham Sharpe doing the post match talk. He told the room that Everton were lucky to get a point and he didn't know what was wrong with the second palace goal.
Benteke was also the talk of the room. His header was generally considered to be pretty s*** hot, which it was. Have we ever had a player in recent years who could have turned that cross into a goal from there?
