We have great foundations now!

[Stick It On Cort's Head]

for a sustained challenge, even if we don't go up this season.

What am i saying!!

Of course we fucking will!!

Tone has built a super championship side which , ultimately, will get promoted if Pearson is signed, if not this year, then the next etc. Tone made a mistake yesterday in bringing Danny Pugh on, and changing his tactics, but imo he has rarely made these , earlier on in the season we had a far worse side, a mid table one, but it was dominating teams and he was right behind this.

If this team can get anywhere near that sort of intensity, we will see sheer destruction being paved by our players, AND promotion. Ricardo Fuller will decide whether we are promoted this season , not Shola Ameobi, (although he may nick a goal or two), he is our talisman, you can call lawrence our best player, but this guy has a huge effect on this team, mentally and physically. It's all about grabbing that second goal though isn't it! You could see Wednesday's confidence growing and growing as the game ebbed on and as we kept missing chances.... The inevitible was always going to happen.

The fact is, there is a five game mini season, a season which will shape our future, or it could not, we could miss out and win at Wembley, or we could miss out altogether and go up next season as champions.

We need to start afresh, forget about "6 loan signings in a matchday squad", and concentrate on these 5 games, because if you look at the league table, it's only WBA who look threatening regards to the "out of our hands" way of thinking , and they play Watford soon ,as well as Cardiff and Wolves away.

The only team i fear is Hull.

But i really believe that Palace is THE GAME, we win that, and momentum is shifted again.

So exciting though, 5 games left, and a huge chance of an automatic/title birth, this club has come so far in 2 years!!

Lets keep progressing and make the top flight, i want to see the britannia packed for a change.... ;D

I'd also like to state something , I was watching a Manure match in the hope that they would slip up in the title race recently, and Ronaldo was shaping up for a free kick- i whispered to my mate, IF THIS GOES IN, STOKE WILL BE PROMOTED TO THE PREMIERSHIP THIS SEASON.

AND WHAT HAPPENED??

BACK OF THE NET.


I did EXACTLY the same thing in the Carling Cup final when Drogba was set to take his free kick and he smacked it in the corner!

WE ARE GOING UP!!
