Been a while since Ive done one of these, what with all the games being available to watch live now theres not so much need.

Anway, for old times sake if nothing else...

Nice easy journey for me on the tube - got to West Ham, first visit for me since we sent them down in 1992 and Mark Bright scored. Did not recall how grim it is around the ground, real sh!thole. Got in and had possibly the worst seats - right at the back on the far left although we all had our own little thing going on.

Some decent banter with West Ham fans about Millwall early on. Then they started to get on Bolasie's back so it all got a bit more edgy - which to be honest I prefer - all this matey rubbish doesn't work for me.

Im sure you've all seen the game so no need to comment much, other than to say how good can Bolasie become ?! Gave their left back nightmares. Carroll is a dirty b@stard and no way an international - Nolan is just annoying, but our boys gave it back plenty. Great couple of saves from Jules, definite pen well taken, Puncheon looked like a man on top of his game and everyone looked good to me. The bubble generator is very lame and the robotic hammer mascot is just plain strange - getting a well deserved 'what the fvcking hell is that ?' chant.

Some good chants at west ham fans, such as 'is this a library ?', 'is there a fire drill ?' and my personal favourite 'you're gonna boo in a minute' and the fans in fine voice, while Wet Sham were sporadic at best.

I have to admit the system they have set up to get into the tube, while frustrating, is very clever. By the time we got to the end of the queue we figured we might as well walk to Plaistow so we did.

Amazing how Pulis has the team playing - as we so rightly sung 'we're Crystal Palace we win every week'

I cant imagine City fancy next week one little bit.

Remember all those posts about 'how many points would we get to the end of the season' before the Chelsea game ? I haven't checked but Im guessing no-onne said 15 with 3 to play.

Immense. Very proud. Top away day.

While I wait for my champagne to chill I've uploaded some photos from today's match [Link]

Thanks for the pics and the report. Good to get a view from the stands. Shows Bolasie is really feared by the opposition if he's getting banter.

This was my 8th Palace away day this season and after suffering 7 losses and not a single CPFC goal scored, I finally enjoyed an away goal, an away clean sheet and 3 marvelous away points.

thought the back four and jedi in particular, were very good today. Wasnt our best game going forward, but those 5 defensively were very good.
Mariappa, who i said was poor earlier in the season, has come on a lot, playing right back. He looks half decent now. I dont mind a slice of humble pie. Good on him.

a rich man is only a poor man with an obscene amount of money

Thanks for the report. Yes if we can't make it we can watch it online but always good to hear the view from the terrace. I have stuck a few reports up this season after away games always go down well.

Bolaise seems to have improved imensly over last couple ofmonths just need him to start finding the back of the net.
