Palace Vs Stoke: Eagles beat Stoke in Potteries Ding Dong

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!
