Goals from Wilfried Zaha and Glenn Murray following a finish
from Diouf Meant that Palace look to have secured their place in the top flight
having deserved their survival enjoying Premier League football for another
campaign.
Indeed the Eagles look to have secured a top twelve finish
to enable the Palace to secure Premier League safety for another year. Not a
bad achievement considering Palace are perennial losers in the battle for top
flight survival having only secured top flight survival once before in six
previous attempts, so to achieve survival for three seasons in a row is quite
an achievement.
I love football more than anything else but as I age and my
interests broaden I am considering a sabbatical to Europe like the great
writers of old to explore culture and write/record a travel blog. I will look
to purchase a half season ticket for the second half of the 15/16 campaign. Yet
as I consider costings in football and the inflated price of tickets for the
regular fan it is nice to see, given my kiwi roots New Zealand doing so well as
to get to a World Cup Final with a small population of four million people.
After victory against Stoke City we face a home match
against glamorous money bags Manchester City on a Monday night under the lights
at Selhurst Park in front of a live TV audience. Wing play from the likes of
Zaha and Bolasie has brought entertainment a plenty to Selhurst Park and great
success in a relatively short period of time.
Quite an achievement given our proud South London roots
under the stewardship of Super Alan Pardew!
