    This would certainly top [the FA Cup victory], I'm sure.

  4. 'Henderson has had a comfortable evening'

    Rayo haven't really tested the Palace goal. It's been mainly from distance. Henderson has had a comfortable evening thus far and he will want it to stay that way. Although even as a neutral that stadium clock does seem to be ticking very, very slowly, so you can imagine how it feels for the fans.

    Crystal Palace are in full defensive mode now. Strand Larsen has committed himself back and is making the challenges but in doing that they have no out ball. He needs to make himself that outlet.

    How are my nerves? I’m incredibly relaxed. Half of this team is leaving in the summer along with Glasner. The boys are looking at each other and thinking “this is it”. They’re 100% playing for each other. They want it, we want it, it’s happening.
