OK its dajavu time feel ive been through this before oh yeah last season , PV lost his way in comes Roy , we was a different team that played the prevous 12 games under PV , Roy struggled more this season with losing more or less his first 11 to injury , then it made him ill we could see that in the stands on TV ,

Now along comes Ollie and we play with wing backs i called that long ago , but didnt have the fire power at right back , I never lost faith in Mateta , said we needed to play him so he can get a understanding with the supply line it was play 3 games dropped 6 , then we wonder why he and us wasnt scoring , this is not hind site ,

Now the gutting part Eze let me down had him and Matty to score anytime and palace to win he's bloody useless hehe , Matty betting account now at 330 this season happy days , its a big ask to win last 4 games , but if we do with results going our way we could end up top 10 what a finish that would be , oh yea i have 10quid at 12s to get in top 10 as well ,

beating Liverpool was fun as i live near there now , so had 1 or 2 scousers around me when we scored and also beat them , and i had my palace shirt on as well, The spam result my phone was red hot contacting all the spam supporters i know , lots of fun , dont really know any geordies so had a little chuckle to myself ,

If we can keep all our players for one more season what a season that could be , and maybe give them European football to stay longer , maybe a bigger ground as well , ok i know i was pushing it with the last bit hehe, onwards and upwards COYP

I think this was a great performance last night as we neutralised an in form Newcastle.

I noticed both Wharton and Hughes had a couple of shots on goal, I wonder if OG has told them to be more attack minded?

However As a palace fan for over 50 years I always look for the dark cloud in the silver lining.

Hanging onto our best players this summer will be the key achievement in the transfer window.

One more point

That was the best football I have seen from any Palace team ever.
I couldn't believe what I was watching at times.

It has to be said that Glasner is obviously getting the best from this squad.
Hughes was particularly good last night. Richards, Munoz and Ayew excellent. Everyone did their bit.

A brilliant way to celebrate safety for another season.

I know money talks and everyone has a price, but I genuinely think, with the way things are right now, no-one is going to want to leave.

I have to agree.

We've gone from a team utterly dependant on a few players with many more written off to one which performs as an effective unit.

We look fitter, sharper and not only purposeful but entertaining and effective in doing so. That is not (primarily) down to the players and perhaps was not so previously. We now have a manager who trumps any fears around that for me. I'm far less concerned with which player(s) stay/go than I am with OG being at the helm.

We could look at Chelsea/United or even pre-Emery Villa for examples of where 'just buying players' can go so wrong and even prove detrimental for the coaching staff. Having a better quality of player helps of course, I'm not arguing that, but Glasner is the most important facet for me.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Glaser has certainly got the team playing, but he wouldn't beat Newcastle if he was managing Rotherham.

You need quality players who can do what you ask of them and do it well.
