MmmMonsterMunch Pressure what pressure?! Awesome pen.

Poifect. I've only been watching half an hour, but Cassetti's been nibbling at Zaha the entire time. Watford have been dire. Palace just don't look good enough.

PieEater Cassetti has been hacking Saha every time so that was the least they deserved.

Personally I thinking the finger waving deserved a second yellow.


If Palace had Louis Saha upfront the they probably would have scored 3 or 4 goals today.

Palace have been the better team today. Doesn't say much mind you.

Watford deserve to go up after the season they had. Would have gone up automatically had it not been for Almunia getting injured on the final day.

We all knew we needed numbers when we went up, I think palarse will need double figures in terms of new players.

Much like us their local consortia of owners just don't have the cash to buy two thirds or more of a Premiership team, given their history I doubt they will pile on the debt, so straight back down with a huge cash injection.

I agree, their chairman seems quite level headed (dodgy barnet though) and i wouldn't expect him to risk the club.

Their chairman, Steve Parish, is a friend of mine (oh look a me :wink: ), he will very cautious with the finances. Although a very wealthy boke by normal standards, he simply does not have the tens of millions (or billions in some cases) to chuck at it. So yes I suspect it will be invest a little, hope you survive, and use the windfall payments to develop the club if and when to get relagated

Good, on reflection, I guess the more deserving team won through.

Would've preferred to see Palace v Reading next season instead of the Watford borefest, but was never really comfortable with the current Watford team set-up.....sorry Horns

Disagree Palarse every time over Watford.
Good boozers, easy to get to by the rattler, usually a good atmosphere by our lot, not to mention the good results we have had at Selhurst.

Now positives about Watford = erm!

None of the above!
