    We're just perfectly set up to play away or against the bigger teams. Liverpool will get a decent game when we play them.

    With our defence I think that he has worked that it is far better to push forward and keep the oppo pinned back, the best form of defence is attack and all that.

    Indeed - he just looks better and better every time he plays; like Davis, always makes himself available for the pass, head up, looking to do something. Really like him.

    To be honest I’m disappointed...




    ...that nobody has posted a SS of the table yet.

    So, if Spurs lose 17-0 at home to Norwich tomorrow, we’ll go up to 8th!

    My thoughts to, the opposition can't score when the game's being played in their half.

    Reckon the Palace ground should be re-named to Cellhurst Park ..... cos we locked them up and turned them over every few minutes.

    What a great performance and on a personal level I was delighted to see Vestergaard performing in a way Ralph asked of him.

    We seem to have a thing about the number 9 ..... I like tonight's number 9.

    Holmesdale is not that fun tonight. A lot of them have been saying they expected that result, and credit to us. But they don't half hate James.....can't think why, he's adorable! <bubbly>

    This is a fabulous result and , by all accounts, a brilliant performance too.

    There was a consensus a few weeks ago that 40 points will not be sufficient to stay up this season. Traditionally, we would expect three further wins to get us to safety. I am inclined to think we will need something like 42 points for mathematical certainty but, with these kinds of performances and the congestion in the table from 5th down, I am wondering whether we should be looking for a Europa League position? I think we should be looking towards getting beyond the 50-point mark by as high a margin as possible and ideally finish above Arsenal.

    A good win for Bournemouth although I think they will still get relegated come May.

    I would be more worried if I was a Brighton fan.
