Beating Palace Was a Huge Win

After what was a woefully disappointing opening game against West Ham, There was nothing more important that getting three points. We did that. Prior to the game I was cursing the fact that Palace away was our second game in which we were hoping to do just that. They are a strong outfit and one that will be tough this season I'd imagine. Alan Pardew is a jerk, we all know that but he can put together a very able team when he seems to feel like it.

Alan Pardew being a jerk aside, we did exactly what we had to do - win.
