    Suze (or anybody there) - what was the atmosphere like?

    Reports are that it was a bit more electric.

    Kind of shows that when the team does well, the ground will be buzzing and people forget it's no longer the Boleyn.

    Just seen this on the Sky Sports commentary link of the game:

    GOAL! WEST HAM 3-0 C PALACE (Lanzini, 86)

    A terrific break from West Ham and they add a third to their tally with four minutes of the half to play.

    Reid clears a cross from Remy at the other end and sets off Antonio on the break. He races down the middle of the park, and lays the ball of beautifully to Lanzini who continues the run.

    Hennessey is again out far too early and cannot do a lot as Lanzini rounds him before slotting home into an open net, jumping into the crowd as he celebrates.

    Is it me or is there something fishy about that last bit? ;hmm

    It felt more 'together' if that makes sense. A more united place.

    When there was chanting it was really loud. The acoustics are fab.

    Lots more chatting with people you don't know on the way to the station too.

    I do wonder whether Payetgate is the best thing that could have happened for the club this season ;hmm

    From the BBC:

    "Lanzini is booked for having the nerve to enjoy life by celebrating with some fans."

    ;lol

    it was encouraging to see Bilic have a plan B yesterday, too often for me that didn't seem to be the case.

    But I guess it also makes a difference when you have a round peg for a round hole and can actually bring on a RB.

    Lanzini scores , slides on his knees, looks at the fans going ;wahoo and says to himself "I'm having some of that" and jumps in amongst them.

    And why not?

    The only goal that comes close to Carroll's recently is Deano's at Nobes's testimonial

    People go on about the Rooney overhead as the best ever; it wasn't even the best at Old Trafford:

    Lukerz, if you were a Palace fan watching that game, who would you blame for each of the goals? A serious question.

    ;hmm

    I would've been very surprised if SA had said anything different. We shouldn't be shocked at least he's consistent he said the same many many times with us.

    Personally I think it's what you get when you have a more pragmatic, defensive Manager. He knows there will of been somewhere in there that defensively they could've done more, whether it's the keeper (twice) or stopping the play/cross for Carroll, or even someone marking him?

    It's ingrained in his DNA

    Just my opinion mind

    ;ok

    For me Carroll's overhead is better, he catches it properly, Rooney caught it at the start of the ankle/shin......not the top of the foot.

    Rooney's is however better than Ashton's who had much more time to manouver himself due to Rio doing virtually nothing.

    Ashton tweeted yesterday, "Just handing Carroll my crown he makes mine look like a tap in"

    ;hmm so is carrolls our goal of the season or Payets agains Boro just asking ;biggrin ;biggrin ;biggrin

    I didn't really rate Payet's goal v Boro.

    Thought that was down purely to the pathetic attempt of the Boro back line who all seemed to have their laces tied together?

    Boro ;biggrin

    Izzy ;ok

    If the situation had been reversed, I'd be complaining about how Antonio was left in acres of space for the Carroll goal, and the marking on AC was weak.

    We were discussing this on the way home and its hard to argue against it. We the fans needed something to make us feel protective over the club and team rather than being split about the ground, owners and squad.

    What Payet did, turn his back on the shirt and the fans, then Bilic's frank and a little upsetting press conference galvernised us against a common enemy and not each other.

  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Ashton tweeted "just seen Carrolls goal, make mine look a tap in".

    Ashton s gaols at OT was so much bette than Roonies.

    Ironic though that in a week where several STH have basically made it clear this club, the future and the project is not for them, it's taken the same attitude from a key player to unite fans to protect the club.

    I think Payet could have scored the goal of the millennium but after his "I will never play for you again" stuff it would never get voted goal of the season.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Luke, I have huge trouble understanding those fans who throw in the towel at the first sign of a little difficulty. For me you hold firm because circumstances always change.

    and in the end you are rewarded.

    I had just seen that, brilliant!!

    Also, Arbeloa was at the Carpenters Arms having pints with the fans during the game...

    The new "Payet song" was sung at various locations.....

    Not sure about this one, there was a small (no not a medium Suze) Payet 27 shirt layed just as you came in the ground, people were invited to use it as a "door mat", which many did, but some also spat on it......

    That's OUR Shirt for crying out loud, I know they mean Payet but it's still our club shirt!!!

    Not often I agree with Piers Morgan.....

    For technique, skill, execution & power, I'm calling that @AndyTCarroll scissor-kick goal as the best in Premier League history.
