I like your balance between when Villa were dictating the match and not; Palace only really got into that position for a short period after halftime. If one or more of those chances in the first half had gone in…well, it would have been a goal, as my grandad used to say.

Watching MOTD, when Palace scored, my dad said "so that's 7-1 to us".

He talks bollocks, but we definitely dominated the chances.

Yes, agree Dave. Johnstone was clutching his calf as if he'd been shot. Then, after what must've been 5 minutes, he got up and no limp at all! Pure time wasting which Palace did all match.
