[Crystal Palace 1 - Chelsea 2.]
Conte was on his feet on the touchline pumping his fists. The Chelsea end started we are top of the league. They were not top of the league. The lads on the pitch did not need to be told that the lads on the pitch were two goals from the cup.
I let Mama be the one to say it.
He walked to the centre circle from the back four and pulled the lads in. I could not hear what he said from the touchline. Eze nodded. Konaté nodded. Wilf nodded. Nya nodded.
The lads broke up. The match restarted.
[65'.]
Pato on for Christopher.
The Holmesdale stood for Christopher all the way to the touchline. Christopher had played his last Wembley match in a Crystal Palace shirt. He knew it. Steve Parish in the directors' box stood for him. The Holmesdale stood for him for the whole walk because the Holmesdale was the Holmesdale.
