I come away from this match very, very worried. And this worry is Wilfried Zaha - he has showed his class this season and if Arsenal do decide they need to add his undoubted 'game changing' qualities we risk losing him in January. For whatever reason we are a one man team and he is that man, so in the tough upcoming matches in December If he does go I am not very sure that Mr Hodgson, for all his 'top quality squad' (his words) will be able to compensate.
Man and boy Palace since my first game in 1948 sitting on my dad's shoulders |

Fantastic result. Zaha and Eze brilliant but so happy for Benteke. Please God let him kick on now and give us a functioning striker! Can I just say as well that every time we play positively and attack we are good to watch and win. I wish Roy could resist the urge to just go defensive again in the next game.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

Only a cynic would suggest Wilf is playing for a move

Would you have a day off. Pathetic Lol, did you watch the game?! Maybe remind yourself of the comments on here before the sending off...perhaps replay the game and take those rose tinted glasses off for once and pay attention to what’s actually happening on the pitch. Listen to the commentary and remarks of the pundits as well...they can’t ALL be wrong surely?! We had previously given a very poor Burnley side their first win of the season and Newcastle had beaten us 2-0 at home. 19th placed WBA had the momentum and were looking the more likely team to go on and win before the Pereira sending off.

However, let's simply enjoy the moment because what we did in the 2nd half was give a masterclass in how to thrash 10 men. How often have 11 struggled to break down 10 (Think Bournemouth re us last season at Selhurst!). I was especially pleased by Tekker's 2nd goal - real class. Let's hope it gives him some confidence for future games.

Baggies slightly the better side before the red card. PVA and Clyne they are often out of position, if you can get behind them as others will, it is a different thing altogether. Great to see Palace playing when they are allowed to.

Well, where does one start, a typical uninspiring 1st half with a fortuitous og, standard defending for their equaliser & then the 'iffy' red card. THEN, the 2nd half, wtaf happened there, did they read the threads on HOL & decided to say fcuk em, we'll show them, a total turn around, 2 for Wilf, BUT, BUT, BUT . . 2 for Tekkers! Yes, 2 as in TWO in 1 match. You may mean Season

Would they be the same commentators who highlighted how poor West Brom have been in second half of games? I think they were on top when red occurred but who knows what would have happened. Enjoy the moment, Cadiz had 18% possession and beat Barcelona. Football is unpredictable
