A wonderful performance last night capped by spectacular goals from Olise. I know it was written earlier, but I thought his post match smile and his run to hug Ollie said 'I want to stay and do this again next season'. What I like about our lad's goal celebrations is that they don't do all this ridiculous knee sliding thing. Although, come to think of it, I remember Eze trying it recently and he toppled over.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

The physios have banned it!

what I liked about Glasner's post match interview was that he acknowledged that it wasn't our best performance and that Mateta squandered posession a few times. It wasn't done in a way that didn't acknowledge what a great night it was, however you could see he's thirsty for complete performances and that even in a 4-0 drubbing of Utd he's going to ask the players for more - and I think they will respond to that understanding that they can hit even higher levels! Agree i thought we were very average in the 1st half, but took both goals very well, albeit via woeful Utd defending. 2nd half was very comfortable after the 3rd goal. All subs contributed too and didn't weaken the team, although by then Utd were a shambles. Lovely to see Glasner get so much out of players like Clyne and Hughes - well done to all. You need to enjoy nights like this

Apparently Ferguson was well known for this. You got the hairdryer when United won but not to his exacting standards. When they lost he put a metaphorical arm around the team.

I thought only Wan-Bissaka in their team played half-decent and I'd be happy if we get him back for 30-40 £million. Way we are going our -8 goal difference has a chance of being cleared after the final two games. Just think, if Glasner had arrived in January, we'd be in the top ten now. If we can keep our top players for one more season then the sky is the limit - never thought in my 84 years I could even think of saying that ..............

I thought Henderson was very fortunate, his antics convinced the ref. I liked Edouard hitting the post with the goalie totally uninterested. I didn't feel stressed at all watching it, I need my nervous breakdowns it's part of Palace life. That video has me creased up, these entitled b*****s I love seeing their pain, the Arsenal one must be special. Carragher should feature in one, what a tw*t.

Indeed Henderson got away with one there. He was not impeded, just didn't jump high enough - a weakness that has been noted on here several times.

Little to add except that every time I see the replay of Edouard's near-goal, oh how I wish it went in. Mateta is clearly The Man now, but I'm grateful that Edouard scrapped together (more scrapped than scraped) some goals for us in first half of the season. Would've been nice for him – and good for his confidence – to have the pleasure of a fine upper 90 finish in his cameo.

One complaint, if I may. 15 minutes to go. 4-0 up. Nothing really to play for and a team at our mercy begging for the final whistle. If ever there was a time to play our youth without risk it was then. Rak Sakyi was sitting on the bench (having recently bagged a brace for the U21). Could he not have enjoyed and benefited from a run out. Imagine the confidence had he scored?

Thought the same last when Schlupp and Ayew came on as to why Rak Saki wasn’t used instead of one of them?

You lot are deluded I don't know what game you were watching last night: 1. Man United had major injuries. Summary Well that's what I am going to say if anybody asks. Nothing to see here chaps move along.
Hmmm...virtually every media outlet saw it in the same way. Man U might have had injuries but they've still got players in the teams they've paid a king's ransom for and were utter rubbish. Anthony cost more than our entire midfield! We played really well and the 4-0 flattered Man U. Only argument you have was the foul on Henderson was arguably a bit soft.
