Post up anything from the papers' reviews of last night's game. The Guardian had some nice pieces: [Link] And I especially liked this: Palace revolution owes so much to the fans Palace's transformation under Tony Pulis has been extraordinary but the performances of the fans this season have been every bit as astounding. Selhurst Park may not be the most glamorous of settings but the Palace faithful have made it the Premier League's most intimidating this season and on Monday night they were in full voice. The final home game of the season was something of a celebration and the noise was incessant long before kick-off. Every tackle or piece or skill from the home side was greeted with an almighty roar and the intensity of their support after Palace went 3-0 down seemed to restore their players' belief and drag them back into a game that looked as if it had long since gone. The atmosphere at Selhurst must be the envy of many a Champions League club but maybe if those at the top catered more to the real fan rather than those with just a passing interest in the game such fervour could be replicated elsewhere?

Edited by Seth (06 May 2014 5.33pm) In a nutshell really Seth...we have a dodgy old girl of a ground but it just drives atmosphere, you will struggle to find a prawn sandwich unless you pay a visit to Sainsburys and a pretty solid 'all in it togetherness' about our support that permeates through..'staged' by the HF obviously but how many grounds have all 4 sides bouncing and singing ?? One word missing - 'unconditional' - its as loud at 0-3 down as it is at 3-3

There is an excellent piece in today's Times by Matthew Syed. He talks about integrity (giving it everything when you have 'nothing' to play for) and just what a fantastic advert for the premier league the match on Monday was. Unfortunately, I can't put a link up due to The Times charging to view their website, but if you can, buy a copy and take a look... Left me bursting with pride.
