April Foo(tbal)l's Day

Chelsea 1-2 Palace.  I thought it might be a very unfunny April Fool's Day joke, but no Palace actually beat the champions elect, at their home ground no less.  For the second season in a row.  Miracles do happen - especially when you look at the stats from the game with the amount of possession and amount of chances Chelsea had.  Big Sam has definitely instilled some steel and some character that the Palace team didn't have before.  And to think I doubted his credentials (which secretly I still do).  Sadly Hull also won so the gap is still the same to the bottom 3.  But now an awful lot of other teams are in danger of getting dragged into the dogfight if things get tighter.  But hopefully they won't - Sunderland and Boro look doomed, which just leaves one other to go down - hopefully Swansea or Hull.  As long as Palace keep on winning, I don't care who goes down.
