For a long time every pundit and supporter of the big clubs have been laughing of us, no one is laughing now. What a performance! I'm still shocked, 12 hours after Chelsea's 12th player used his whistle for the last time this lovely Saturday. MOTM? Every eagle involved although O'Keefe's backpass nearly gave me a heart attack. Mariappa, esp. in 1 half, was outstanding but the whole team deserve credit. And TP is the man to wind them down and make us ready next Saturday for last season's Championship champion. Awesome, just awesome amd Jules' save from Hazard, vow!!!

In a lot of games a single player's performance can make a huge difference, yesterday it was the whole club.

If you wanted you could single out the inidividual performances of Ward, Julian, Yannick, Jerome (who only stopped running when he was substituted), Dann, Damo, Marriappa (ludicrously booked for time wasting), Ledley, Jedi, Stewie to name but a few, but without the others clearly there would have been gaps. Yesterday it was about overlapping, covering, running hard and tirelessly for each other.

To see (a miffed) Lampard, Luiz and Schürrle (who was their most dangerous player) pulled off was nothing but a tribute to a complete team performance, and that is despite some of the most ludicrous refereeing decisions I have seen all season.

The noise made was deafening. It shut up the lot from West London. Even the Main Stand where I sit was in on it too.

The whole thing clearly riled "The Special One", who resorted to having a go at a ball boy near Block D/E I think it was. (If TSO thinks he was time wasting then he really does need a visit to Derby and the like where its positively rewarded by the club!) Also, he really should not try and pick on someone 45 years younger than him.

For our brothers & sisters overseas, I really hope you managed to watch it on a stream or via the magnificent staffie's link.

So for me there was no MOTM, it was a TOTM performance and that team is CPFC.

Taking the bungy jump since 1964. Never to see John Jackson in a shirt again

Sorry to see Lee Hills go, did we ever see Alex Marrow? We did January 2013

The entire team absolutely worked their betty's off and were a credit to every Palace fan. I've been Palace for 40 years but have never seen a workrate and desire like that..even when I was going away and we had half the England team aroundabout 1990. I've watched people slate Pulis and certain players and on the whole have just let 'em get on with it. I've seen Venables (cnut..twice), Coppell, Allison and other managerial legends... I will now say (and did a few months back) Pulis IS THE BOLLO*** by a country mile. Love the bloke, what he does and what he's got out of a team with no goals...and look...without scoring, how superb we are.

Stunning team performance ...really could not single out anyone who wasn't playing at a higher level yesterday. Terrific job well done and what an atmosphere ...you could see that it rattled Chelski. Let's give it the same for the last three games!!!!

Denial is not just a river in Egypt!

Probably go for Jedi.
Made far fewer errors, but seemed so much more relaxed than in previous weeks. The difference seemed to be that he nearly always had more than one pass option and some were even in front of him. It's amazing what a positive mindset does for you. This also seemed to help the fullbacks and both were far more prominent going forward today.
Ward was amazing and also a mention for the unsung DD. Totally under appreciated on here it seems, but he has been immense all season.

That's Life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

Love it!
