Good report Paul, sounds like you were treated to a day of luxury as well as a good performance from the Blues. Seems like under Dyche we had similar games to this, chances on both sides etc, but we always seemed to end up on the losing side. Shows the difference confidence and a but of luck can make

Thanks Jack, yes, fun day, especially with the result of course. UTT.

Hi Paul. That was a really good read. I do like this type of fan view and match perspective.

Great report, great result Paul. The visitors’ section at Selhurst offers just about the worst view and the worst facilities of any ground in the top flight. The huge compensation is we enjoy a decent record there.

After riding our luck in the first half on Saturday it felt all the sweeter to see us capitalise on a mistake for the first goal, dig in after conceding an equaliser before winning with a late goal at a time when many of our team must have been exhausted.

With a seriously depleted squad and coming so soon after the derby this was a really tricky fixture. That we came home with three points was remarkable in the circumstances. Never mind the performance, feel the result!

Another great read, cheers Paul.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys, it means a lot. If you haven't already, give our podcast a listen for a bit more analysis and a look ahead to Saturday's Manchester United match.

Great article Paul - how nice is it to be talking about winning? My main takeaway though; you really need to pull out all the stops this Christmas!
