CRYSTAL Palace played a refreshing brand of football under Alan Pardew last season and the Eagles boss says fans can expect even better this term.

Crystal Palace claimed all three points “When I found out it was a high foot I was extremely disappointed because more often than not those goals would be given”.
Hooper was taking charge of his first Premier League game.
Moreover the decision to loan Andre Wisdom was a smart one after his performances for West Brom last season.
“He needs to gain his strength and power back”, the 54-year-old remarked.
Pardew was glad to have watched his side come through after a slow start.
When asked after Saturday’s 3-1 win whether he would be staying with Palace, Murray said: “Yes, definitely”.
And in stoppage time, Norwich felt they should have had a penalty when Sebastien Bassong was bundled over by Connor Wickham, Palace’s new striker. Bradley Johnson netted for Norwich to give the visitors the lead, before Jason Puncheon scored the equaliser.
Neil felt Norwich should have made more of their early promise.
Norwich City are winless in their last 12 opening day matches in league competition (D6 L6).
The club then defeated Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough in the playoffs to earn a requalification to the topflight. We know it’s going to be tough and at times ugly but are fully geared up for a crack at mid-table mediocrity.
After the 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace, Neil spoke to Sky Sports, “It’s disappointing and frustrating”.
Bournemouth, Fulham, Norwich and QPR have all been linked with moves for the former Peterborough forward.
The 34-year-old clinched promotion for the Canaries in May but could face a stiff challenge to keep them in the Premier League. They could have easily chosen other Premiership sides.
Youssouf Mulumbu has joined on a free transfer, as well as Jake Kean.
Whittaker had an effort cleared off the line after his bouncing shot beat McCarthy before substitute Yannick Bolasie forced Ruddy into a good stop. Marouane Chamakh and Fraizer Campbell are both set to miss the beginning of the season, so is Julian Speroni.
“When you come up against good sides they get one chance and put it away”.

Norwich, back in the top flight after a season in the Championship, pulled a goal back in the 69th minute through Nathan Redmond and thought they had equalised five minutes later when Cameron Jerome hooked home an overhead kick.
