Well this has been a very "Typical Palace" season TBF

Book Cover for "Mythology" by Edith Hamilton. It shows a man riding a winged horse loosing an arrow.

My Mum borrowed this from Streatham Library In the mid-60s and it never got returned (I shudder to think what the fine would be now, even in old money). I must have first tried reading this when I was 6 or 7; This book taught me to love reading...

Agree 💯. All the kids put a shift in, no wonder 3 of them had cramp. Was impressed with Benamar too, some excellent crosses in the first half and some real pace.

Yep 💯. Also you can pet your Dog in Civ VII, but unlike Civ VI there's no option to have cats instead of Dogs. Travesty!

I've made lifelong friends through our shared love of 'bad' movies, MST3K and the Golden Turkey Awards

Can you tell the difference between the two? Both mine make different vomit noises when they throw up, which helps me locate where the pile may be

I see this as an opportunity to go and actually enjoy a Wembley day out without any stress and anxiety, unlike all the other times we've been there! I'm also trying to ignore the Europe situation until it's resolved; again, too much stress worrying about something I can't control

Yep, my Boris has over 6 years of extensive training to be able to snooze with this panache #proofofcat

If not, he should have, together with a stretch target of some more crazy tortie videos (though as the slave of 2 black cats I love seeing pics of Napoleon)

Well that was fun! Let's do it again next year 🦅 #cpfc

Waiting for the Palace bus and parade with the FA Cup. Still an hour to go and it's crushed! #cpfc

Perhaps people had pre-booked their flights months in advance and decided that the risk wasn't serious enough, or the economic impact too high, to cancel?

AMA huh? OK, will you consider streaming a Stellaris run when v4.0 comes out in May?

Agree with your second point, but having seen the 'foul' for the second yellow it does make me wonder why VAR is not allowed in such circumstances. If we are to have it imposed on us, please let it fix all, rather than just some, egregious errors 🙏

Because of that movie I can no longer say the word "sausages" properly

Boris is too tired to "help" me work this morning. It won't last.

A poor-to-middling drawing of Crystal Palace FC manager Oliver Glasner, rendered in pencil and pen in the style of a faux Panini-style football sticker. He is wearing his now semi-infamous off-white roll neck sweater, oddly evocative of those worn by WWII-era U-Boat captains.

CRYSTAL PALACE, we have drawn you, so strap in for a wonky thread of substandard doodles of Cap'n Glasner & friends.

P.S. This is our first batch of drawings since we jumped ship from Twitter, so if you know any Palace fans who might enjoy this stupidity please do point them our way x

Yeah, but at least Primula tastes nice, especially on hot buttered toast

Isn't the Bacon-to-Sausage ratio a bit unbalanced? Definitely needs another sausage to restore parity.

Yeah, Chieck needed that hour or so and you could see the rust slowly coming off him. Lerma and Muñoz particularly good today, especially in the 2nd half. JP deserved his goal for all the hard work he put in leading the line.

I'm not complaining; I admire your productivity, and love your books. Here's to a fantastic 2025 for you!

In 2024? I'd hurry up if I were you, you haven't got long... 😉

Felt I needed some fortification before today's game 😬

Train tracks disappearing into fog

Palace at home to Southampton today. I love a good foggy day

Yep, completely agree. He was mobile, played some nice simple passes to keep us flowing (something Ebs is currently struggling with) and in particular one excellent through ball. He's clearly getting up to speed with the PL.

Bela's been at the catnip again...

Same

Really good tackle in our penalty area too

Thought both Lerma and Hughes were immense too. Looks like a very solid partnership.

Enjoyed that! Unusual to leave Selhurst after playing the Champions to a draw, but feeling like we should have won, but I'll take the point. Onwards and upwards!
