Hope not but "muscle strain" is a pretty vague diagnosis. I think it's an 'omen'/ sign that Wilf may end up staying at Palace. He's getting more injuries and although still a brilliant player, no where near the speed and agility he had when he was younger. Plus if he's out for a while, he won't get the move he wants if he's hunting for a trophy. I hope he stays.

Just loved the way we all stayed at full time singing the house down. That today is what Palace is all about and it been AWOL for a fair while. What a brilliant day. I had a do to attend afterwards hence the very late post. First time in a long time however I had no inclination towards urgency whatsoever to vacate my seat at full time. What a great moment for the fans and hopefully the players too. Still on a high COYP
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

To be fair, Schlupp was responsible for the Leicester goal. Watch the replay, he's standing in no man land and Pirera runs behind him and he doesn't move, until Pirera already has the ball (and then jogs toward him). Mitchell had to pick up the man running down the side, and Guehi and Anderson have to cover the six.

We may never win anything in this league apart from survival but days like are what being a Palace fan is and always has been. We remain and unfashionable club from South London with and old fashioned ground and fan base based on individual family's history of supporting the club.

Just seen that with Southampton playing West Ham tomorrow, Leicester will drop to second bottom regardless of the result. A win for either side puts them above Leicester. A draw puts West Ham above (/level) with same GD. Not sure what the goals scored are. But either way, that was a bad result for them today. We all could have done without Bournemouth turning Fulham over! But I guess our future is in our own hands with a few more 'points on the board'.
Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes) |

With every match now being a cup final for the bottom 9 clubs, I’m pretty sure that won’t be the only unusual result during the run in. You just hope that they don’t all do it at once.

A bit sanctimonious, we’ve played 1 game. Justified if we play like that all the time, but you haven’t earned the right for that post.. yet! No, Mr Hodgson has played one game with this squad, we all watched what he achieved with his previous.

So many shots on and off target. That is where we have failed under PV. It proves that playing football works !

A very encouraging and enterprising display and three highly significant points…..but I’m greedy. Leeds are a pacy, aggressive team who play with intensity and are likely to provide a tougher test than Leicester. I wholeheartedly concur with these sentiments.

I wholeheartedly concur with these sentiments. Leeds haven’t been that great at home, just two wins against Bournemouth & Southampton. I fully expect us to play a very solid defence & midfield and get a draw

Leicester were at their best in recent seasons when they had the likes of Vardy and Tielemans firing on all cylinders.In defence they had Fofana,Evans and Soyuncu.Pereira was an attacking threat and Schmeichel was in goal. Vardy has only scored 4 goals this season in 32 appearances.His goal return in the previous 3 seasons has been 17,17 and 23. Edited by Willo (02 Apr 2023 10.35am) In recent seasons I've hated it when we've played Leicester because of how well they've pressed our midfield and backline into mistakes, while they tormented our fullbacks. None of that was on display yesterday. I have no idea what has gone on with their spending but the fact they are on an FFP watchlist despite selling Fofana for 85m suggests their success in recent years was built on sand. I can only imagine Rodgers saw the MotD highlights reel rather than the game when he said they were unlucky!!

A much needed and well deserved victory. Particularly in the first half we played with verve and panache and I was hugely encouraged with our overall display. The narrative before the game was about so called dour 'Royball' but we played with real attacking intent with Eze back in the fold and the team recording 31 shots. When Mateta scored my tonsils almost left their moorings as I indulged in raucous merriment and last night my celebrations included several units of intoxicating liquor. Jolly well done to Mr Hodgson, his coaching staff and the players.Let us hope that the Zaha injury is not serious. Well done Willo with your inimitable way of putting things! I think Zaha's injury did lead to the Leicester goal, as ,released from defending against Zaha, their RB could bomb forward and was much more of an attacking threat.
