Liverpool 1 - 2 Crystal Palace

First Chelsea, then Arsenal and now Liverpool - who would have seen that coming?  The pressure was on with both Hull and Swansea winning yesterday - we can forget about Sunderland and Middlesbrough (sorry Jon!) who are both going down, it's the third relegation spot still up for grabs.  And another big result against a (supposedly) top 4 side.  I don't imagine we'll get a similar result against Spurs during the week, but hopefully Palace have done enough to stay up now.  That's 6 wins out of 8 - a very timely turnaround in form, and justification for getting Big Sam as manager.  If it's about survival rather than playing pretty football, he is one of the best men for the job.  And although moving up to 12th in the table is very falsely flattering, things are looking significantly better than they were 2 months ago.
