It's hard to even explain the feeling within a ground when you know your club is going down. Only watching the Stoke game on the TV and can you sense the radiating disappointment. Hope that isn't us against City in a few weeks :emoticon-0107-sweat
 
Well done Palace, I tip my hat to Roy, he proved me wrong.

It also proves that it doesn't matter when you realise a managerial appointment is wrong. If it's wrong, it's wrong, and you rectify it.

(Yes it was entirely the Palace's board's fault for trying to go straight from hoof-ball to total-football, but fair play to them, it took them just four games to realise their error and rectify it. Rather than stick with it, hope it would turn itself around, and not accepting that things needed a change until a 3-0 crushing by Newcastle in March.)

I remember when we put Wimbledon down at the Dell....cheered at the result and then had to walk quietly passed the Wimbledon fans on the way home. Remember people calling out to them that they'd be back. You might be glad that one particular team went down, but then you look at the fans and just see people like you.

Still, got to keep our spirits up<diva>

Yes, they were decisive and brave for sure and it paid dividends.
 
So the first side to get relegated, the side with the worst GD, we managed to take one whole point from.
 
The worst thing about watching Bournemouth home-games on the TV is this awful camera angle. It's like sitting on the sideline.

I think watching Swansea leading at Bournemouth would be worse to watch.
