Erm, it's good times but I just assume we are riding a huge wave of luck a little too.
Murray I thought was great tonight and that is like a new signing, where did he come from?
The whole midfield can play football which wasn't the case with Jedinak at times. Crazy he may not get a sniff when back from suspension. McArthur at times had me laughing with joy at some of his turns.
Dann I think is showing himself to be a classy player.
The up front trio of Murray, Zaha and Bolasie brings back great memories of the promotion year and its surreal to see them starting regularly now considering how many different combos have happened since 2013. They weren't prominent tonight as a partnership, but against lesser oppo they can be, especially Bolasie who was quiet.
Puncheon in central attacking midfield is lovely now too.
Our squad is as deep as I can remember it. Absurdly so. There is OK to good quality in amongst them too. We won't really be severely lacking in any department through terrible luck with injuries.
Find it amusing that Pardew is calling for up to 4 signings in the summer which is basically saying 4 of the current squad have got to be going. I wonder if it is Delaney, Kelly, Murray and Speroni of the starting line up that are going to be finding more competition.
Enthused by this all.
Had a look at the 7 games to come and think there are 9 more points to be had.
It would be nice to have a whole season for a change with a manager settled and kicking on where Pulis didn't. This season could have us in the top half and another consolidating season next in and around mid table would be nice as well.
Mid table mediocrity for the next ten years please!
