    It was never going to be a pretty game to watch, but boy was that scrappy. Still I will take the points thank you.

    According to Jon Marks, Gomes just became the first Premier League keeper to save two penalties in two games?

    A likely story - more like your response took so long to get down from the Shetland Islands or wherever it is that you live.........

    I'd say he had the same reactions of the linesman for the first 'offside' pen.
    2nd one was bought. If there was contact it was minimal.
    So they got what they deserved. What are the chances Pullis claims Gomes should have gone?

    And if we beat WHam 13-0 on Wednesday, and Chelsea lose this evening, we could be in the top ten... <whistle>

    Yay! Kick on with another 10 pts or so, will look very respectable. I'll be wondering why I ever felt nervous. <laugh>

    Would you believe it, found an internet cafe up here and couldn[t resisit a check of the score.

    Well, well, well, Gomez is a saviour. Has to player of the season now.

    We are safe, in my books.

    QSF has dragged it out but now we can all look forward to the Semi final without worrying too much about the league.

    Enjoy ythe weekened all....

    So pleased and relieved. Can start to relax now. woohoo. Off to a 60th Birthday party now (not mine), otherwise would have been at the game. Get in there...

    Five minutes of play left, your side is only behind by a single goal, so you get up and leave. By the time the ref blows for full time there are rows of empty seats. You never know the ref might give a penalty in the last minute of additional time.

    I thought the same Frenchie.

    If Newcastle lose their next game they can't catch us. Sunderland have to win at least four of their last five games <party>

    15 mins into second half had to go out. On returning just before the end of match couldn't believe what had happened. Gomes top man and it will be interesting who is in goal next Sunday. Looking forward going to the match and I hope we play with freedom, attack palace from the start,and wipe away the memory of 2012/13

    And now we know where we stand - just a 10-0 victory on Wednesday, with Everton losing the Merseyside derby, and we're back in the top ten. Happy days... :)
