Oh i know but if you said last Friday night this would be how it is come our game against Stoke, well i think we couldn't have asked for better league wise anyhoo.
I despise Pardew as much as the next guy but a Palace win was always going to be the best outcome for us. Looking at Palace's next few fixtures in the league they could easily go on another 3 game losing run after tonight (Liverpool, West Ham, Leicester).
Which would be perfect pair of outcomes imo
