Can't think of many - any famous 3-0 away wins at a rival's ground? The only win I remember is Gayle's winner away at Villa a few years back, we lost 3-0 at Brighton in '79 and had small bits of broken glass pelted at us, 3-3 home v Luton '78 (from 3-1 down), can't think of any in the the nineties, anyone got any ideas on our best ever boxing day?

Got to be winning 3-0 at home to Millwall in 1962.
The right place at the right time |

In a funny way I'd go for Millwall at home in 2003. We had all the usual pleasures of hosting their comically, dangerously neanderthal supporters, and lost the game 0-1, but we played brilliantly and could easily have scored six. It was Dowies first game (I think?) and despite the result leaving us in the relegation zone I left Selhurst that day looking up the table not down. We played a proper front foot old school 442, with a left winger on the left and a right winger on the right, one target man striker and another mobile goalscorer alongside him. Get it wide, get it forward, attack attack attack. I just knew that if we played even half as well as that for the rest of the season we'd do well and be brilliant to watch too. Merry Christmas all!
