Ridiculous and risible re-gurgitated hogwash.

Hopefully you might be minded to concentrate on the subject matter rather than use the thread as a vehicle for an Anti-Willo tirade.

Let's comment on the game.Thanks.

We never played that well in the first half but neither did Stoke and they were very fortunate to be 1-0 up at half-time.

Let's applause the two excellent finishes for the goals - McArthur across the goalkeeper with his 'Weaker' left-foot and Van Aanholt's cool finish through the keepers legs.

I said to my wife that Stoke could not keep up the workrate they showed in the first half as they closed us down and so it proved in the second half when we were well on top.Overall, Stoke were hugely disappointing - I expected more of them.

Clearly my pleas to stick to the subject matter have gone unanswered.What a crying shame.

Mission accomplished and in doing so sending Stoke down. Thought we were the better side in both half’s and unlucky to go in half time 1-0 down. There was only going to be one winner and it wasn’t going to be that ageing Stoke team who relied solely on kicking the opposition up in the air.

Pieters got his in the end from Jimmy Mac with a beauty,high and late on the knee, don’t think he liked that too much. Well you thought he would be able to take it especially as that is the main part of his game. The Palace fans were a cut above the rest again in applauding the home team which didn’t go unnoticed by the Stokies.

We can go to the beach now, time for another cold Peroni...

I think west brom will finally have been flushed down the bog by then and it will be almost a dead rubber. But it could still be quite fin, like the 2-2 draw with Fulham on the last day a few years ago.

Come to fhink of it of course weed are now on 40.

Not that it matters now but I got the feeling that Martin Atkinson had been reading the Stoke forum before the game and decided to go easy on them so he couldn't be blamed for their relegation. There were some horrible Stoke tackles that on another day could possibly have warranted red cards. I don't think that was his best performance in any way.
