Alan Smith almost ruined it for me with his bias, but overall a great performance. We actually produced the better football at times and gave Arsenal no space. Personally, I think that handball galvanised the team as they sensed there was injustice and took the game to Arsenal. Could have been three points, but pretty amazing just to get one given Arsenal's run. Both Palace penalties stonewall and even Ayew's in the first half could have been given as Mustafi clearly steps across him and clips his leg. If we can reproduce that for the rest of the season we'll be fine. I thought they started thinking about the pending singing section and that galvanised them.

Good to see Punch out and about, nice sarcastic substitution from Roy in response to the recent criticism there. (It genuinely was nice to see him though, I have a lot of respect for Puncheon, he's just a bit past it these days). Would have been nice if he had belted one in, but didn’t get forward much.....
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

The delight I get from character against the odds-performances like today must be far beyond that of some glory-seeking top-four "fan." Having Palace make my pulse go mad for 50 years may not be good for my health, but expecting the unexpected is part of the joy of caring about our team. Thank you Roy & the Team.

We are doing OK , should have got something in most of our previous games where we haven't and got a deserved point today . Still need to sharpen up in front of goal .
A decent enough game though and take the point , onwards and upwards , coyp.

We thought they had 10 minutes in the second half the rest was all us. Luka looked like he really meant it when he celebrated the goals. Played well today, Roy made the right subs at the right time, deserved 3 points, but happy enough with a draw, from 2-1 down. Happy.

Really pleased with today's result, Kouyate superb.In my view we should play Meyer from the start ,he is so much more attacking than Jimmy although Jimmy is such a good hard working player, Sorloth also looked up for it.THOUGHT WE DESERVED THE WIN ,BUT TO COME BACK AND GET A POINT WAS GREAT!!!

Showed great character today. Luka back to himself, Zaha a menace, Kouyate superb. AWB though, this kid is ridiculously good. Sensational in fact. Well done Roy with subs. Thought Meyer took his chance to nail down a starting place and sorloth looked an option finally. Just confidence with him as with all strikers. Deserved three points but happy with one against a top side. Performance was very good. We now have to do that against 'lesser' teams. Had we done so this season we'd be in top 10 by now, pushing top 7. Hindsight hurts though. We move on.

Match looked like another sickener coming up: we hit post and miss massive chance. We get a pen only to lose the lead to a silly defensive mistake plus a combination of handball and 9mm. Same old, same old. All credit to the boys for coming back and getting a well-deserved point. It's encouraging that we played so well, and the two early subs made a big difference. It's also encouraging that three of the relegation contenders have crap defences: Huddersfield have a goal difference of -17, same as Fulham, and Cardiff are -14. At -6, things look good for us!
The right place at the right time |
