1. I thought we were poor first half. Slow, poor passing etc. I don't know if they deserved to be 1-0 up, but we didn't deserve to be.
2. 2nd half was great. Jimmy mac - fantastic. Luka - superb again. PVA - just loves scoring!! But missed chances - CB, Wilfred etc. It should have been 4 -1.
3. Stoke gave up and I thought for a team fighting for survival didn't do enough.
4.I thought their no2 - dirty Austrian, played well. Shawcross had spirit. Shaquiri? Rubbish. Crouch? trying concentrate on the football rather than winding up Wilf.
5. Their fans deserve to see their team go down. There were more of us than them clapping their team off after their lap of honour. The PA announcer even thanked us for doing so. CPFC fans ? We show the rest what support is.

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

I counted 6 fouls crouch committed and no yellow card . If it was one of ours he would have been sent off. Great result though . Proud as punch a great all round performance. Still love benteke. Roll on next sat and we can send west Brom the same way

oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton.

A great day out. A bit gutted we won’t be able to go next season. Very happy with the result, obviously. And glad I took the train up. The old bill were super friendly- had a good few beers at the Terrace bar they directed us too. Form there they had a shuttle bus to the game which took 15 mins!

Gotta say their support in the ground was piss poor - why they were booing Ward I don’t know. We took the piss out of them a bit for that which they kinda acknowledged.

Good to be safe!

Great day out. We were slightly off it in the first half but still outplayed them and they scored from one of two shots. Second half we were definitely the better side and deservedly won. Thought Wilf was pretty quiet by his standards but Andros put in a massive shift and looked completely knackered when he came off. Tekkers did well when he came on but did miss a good chance. Palace fans were chanting his name though, which was great. Tomkins and Sakho were so solid in defence.

One of my contacts in Stoke is resident in Fenton and he was present at the game today.We haven't spoken today but might do in the next few days.

In terms of the safety of Away supporters I recall rival supporters often clashing in the cemetary near the old 'Victoria Ground'.

Wonderful victory today !

How Pieters and Shaqiri we’re still on the pitch I don’t know. The foul on RLC could easily have resulted in a second yellow for Pieters and a red for Shaquri.

Mind you Cresswell stayed on the pitch for WHU, and Arnautovic looked like he kicked out without drawing a card!
