The latest poem from the Bard of Selhurst Park, James Miller, reflects on Crystal Palace's famous win over Chelsea...
The chants, the songs, the buzz, the roar,
Blues get beat, the Eagles soar.
Best game of the year for me,
The day that Palace beat Chelsea
With grit, with will, showed class, showed skill,
Crystal Palace one, Chelsea NIL.
Not many thought that they would see,
The day that Palace beat Chelsea,
Selhurst rocking, amazing host
Bolasie close, Jerome hit the post.
Just one goal, could have been three,
The day that Palace beat Chelsea.
Brick wall in goal, bold and brave
Quick thinking dives, world class saves.
Speroni man of the match for me,
The day that Palace beat Chelsea.
Ward's searching cross and Terry's head,
Took a hopeful point to three instead.
Thanks Red blue army, and John Terry,
The day that Palace beat Chelsea.
Strong in attack, the better side,
Last Saturdays roller coaster ride
Five points clear of bottom three,
Thanks to the day we beat Chelsea.
The loudest fans, as Selhurst shakes,
Advantage taken on the breaks.
Well played Pulis, tactics key,
The day that Palace beat Chelsea.
Still work to do, still buts and ifs,
this weeks big game against Cardiff.
But a truly amazing memory,
the day that Palace beat Chelsea.
