FINAL: WEST HAM 0 - 1 PALACE

My "Man of the Match":

Jules. Had a couple crucial saves to keep his 12th clean sheet of the season. Bolasie had another great game as well. And Mile picking up his first of the year was sweet, too.

Even sweeter? SAFETY! Five straight wins, 43 points, still 11th. But we are mathematically safe for the 2014/15 Premier League campaign. Look how far we've come. Top half is in sight (!)

A visit from Man City to Selhurst next Sunday.
