Just when ya think you've seen it all............

Bet those lads on the left who called it a day and bailed when the penalty was given would be kicking themselves if they missed that.
Amazing for Watford, 90 minutes from making up for their final day horror show..

2-0 we're going to Wembley!!!

Looks like those pathetic clappers were useful for something at Plastic Park.

With lyrics of songs on the back! Incapable of creating atmosphere on their own.

Bad luck, Seaweeds. Feel comfort in still being able to support your other club, "Insert Big Premiership Club Here". Clowns...

 

[Jatz]

Congratulations Gus, you've successfully avoided competing in the plastic league by losing to your arch rivals at home. Must feel good

 

[lihei]

Be great to see Palace go back up...and go back down again.

Curse of the 4th place strikes again. (1 team in 20 years went up after finishing 4th)

Congrats Gus, I think we can all agree that our most heartfelt congratulations must go out to you on this magnificent achievement.

That was us a week ago before we confirmed promotion, so I know the exact range of emotions you felt. Bad luck mate.

It's amazing that virtually the same scenario can take place again a week later.

Bad luck to Leicester , even though you knocked us out , that is a tough way to lose, feel for big Wes.

When's the playoff final? Like both teams but think I will support Palace due to Jedinak

I think ours was a bigger choke than yours. Admittedly either team could have won between us (and thoroughly enjoyed the feel of that game) but to have a penalty, miss and then concede to bow out that quickly was just unbelievable.

If only we had 3 other Wes' we wouldnt defend like amateurs. I have some serious man love for big Wes

Massive dive to "win" that penalty, got exactly what he deserved.

Bad luck? No way...

Bad luck to concede. Yes they shouldn't have scored but remember that would have meant scores level and extra time.

I would put it down more to shit defending than bad luck...

Correct. Why have 8 players at the box when the penalty was taken? Very shit. Knockaert hadn't taken a penalty all year either but was the only one that had the balls to take it.

I hope Watford smash palace

 

[PalaceGun]

I suppose it took balls to con the ref as well. Either that or he wanted all the glory.

Shame on Leicester for not having an experienced penalty taker take the biggest penalty of their season. Maybe someone without a guilty conscience.

Anyway it was nice for justice to be served and for it to be served so quickly.

I hope Tumbling Tony is still crying, tears of great shame in more ways than one.

Cheers mate, bad luck on the loss - Leicester are one of my favourite other teams and I would love to see them come up (Muzzy Izzet!). How do you rate Pearson as manager? Read he might be in trouble of getting the sack. He was an Ass Man (assistant manager) at Newcastle a few years back.

Wouldn't mind if we had a look at that Knockaert of yours. Good young French player - wouldn't be out of place at the toon

Yes because I'm sure no one has ever dived at your club Get off your high horse buddy.

Do i condone what he did? No, I hate that diving is in the game. Would I have complained had we gotten through to Wembley? Of course not.

Heartbreaking way to go out. Thats just football though.

I don't personally rate Pearson. Seems an average manager to me but I doubt he will get the flick (much to the disappointment of most of our fans). Will probably be given one more season to get rid of the deadwood on high wages (Beckford, Danns, Gallagher etc) from the Sven reign and given a couple of players to complement the squad.

Knockaert was the one that missed the penalty the other night. He isnt the most popular atm but honestly I love him. I'll be gutted if we sell him. Has scored some phenomenal goals this season. Provided he stays, he will be going on the back of next seasons kit

The first 100 sold comes with complimentary snorkel, flippers and a box of tissues.

I'm sure you guys will have a decent crack again next season - Reading's team looks like it should remain mostly intact from relegation but can see Wigan needing to move on a few players/lose a few stars and QPR need a major overhaul so of the teams coming down, think only 1 will be a genuine threat for promotion.

Knockaert is still pretty young I believe and fairly sure I read he won your player of the year award or something.
