Zaha picks up the ball on the edge of the Tottenham box. He dummies one baffled defender weaving the ball to his left. A seemless stepover leaves a second sprawling on the floor. A
third sprints to help his hapless comrades but in turn leaves Jason Puncheon open in front of goal. A perfect pass sees the ball land sweetly on Punchy's golden left foot. Without even looking up, he drives the ball low and hard into the bottom corner of the net giving Palace a glorious 2-1 victory against the Premiership's most recent in-form team. Proudly strutting off the pitch, our newly appointed manager blew kisses at the crowd to deafening roars of "Alan Pardew's red and blue army".
Two wins in a row and the Austin Eagles Fado faithful are eagerly anticipating this Saturday's crucial tie against Burnley who are fighting for their lives after recently moving up into the top flight. A win against the struggling Bees this Saturday will be the huge confidence boost we need. And this all starts with YOU!
My banner and shirts are still in the mail with fears that some fashion savvy mailman may just have nabbed them for his Saturday evening social wear. But that will not keep our talons down. Please join me for blood pudding, sweat and beers.
Burnley v Crystal Palace. 9am this Saturday at Fados. Be there or be a bee.
