    CRYSTAL Palace love doing things the hard way. It doesn't matter which competition we are competing in, we never ever use the shortcut to achievement. We didn't do it at the FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park back in 1990 and we didn't do it in our last successful promotion run when we lost to Coventry City and relied on a Brian Deane goal to save us. No, Palace would much rather make you sweat. Make you worry. Make you scream, shout,...

    LEGEND:  John Salako celebrates Palace's FA Cup semi-final win over Liverpool
    JOHN SALAKO says promotion to the "magic circle" of the Premier League would be an incredible boost to Crystal Palace as the Eagles rollercoaster rolls its way into Wembley this week. The 44-year-old, who played 215 times for the Eagles between 1986 and 1995, is backing the class of 2013 to emulate the achievements of 1997 and 2004 in winning promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs. And he says it would mean so...

The striker scored the goal that catapulted Palace into England's top flight in 2004 when he netted the only goal of the game against West Ham United at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The 38-year-old was also part of the Eagles team that won...

    PALACE goalkeeper Julian Speroni says the current squad is "one of the best" he's been part of since he signed for the club. And the Argentine stopper admits he still hasn't been to Wembley and wants to make sure the Eagles are playing in the Premier League next season, not just for him, but for the fans. "I've never had the opportunity to go there so this will be my time to now," he told. "I'm really...

    GIANFRANCO ZOLA'S side began the 2012-2013 season with a record ten Udinese loan players – a controversial ploy that involved using a loophole in the loan system. Watford started the season well, but September got off to a bad start as they were thrashed 5-1 away to Derby County. Three consecutive defeats then saw Watford fall to 18th in the league. It took until the end of the year for the Hornets to get going. They beat...
