I look forward to Deadline Day every year!

Victory
We've had a few days off at Crystal Palace because of the international games and it was so satisfying to go into this break after getting that first win of the season last weekend against Sunderland. Just looking at the table now, we're looking pretty healthy after that victory. We had played well in our first two games without getting anything from them but to get those well-deserved three points was a great reward for the club and the fans. After a friendly with Oman on Tuesday, we go to Old Trafford to play Manchester United next Saturday. It's a wonderful place to play and - after last weekend's result - we'll go there believing we can get something out of the game.
