West Ham singing “Too Shit for England” at Zaha who’s not even English yet has more caps for England than both Noble and Antonio combined 🤦🏻‍♂️

Parish: Roy, just wanted to let you know we’re keen to talk to Lampard. Roy: Fantastic!! I think he would be a great signing and just the sort of young midfielder we need. #cpfc

Someone in a WhatsApp group just said Graham Potter and his back room staff look like the sort of blokes who go on Robot Wars.

That tossed Salad looks like I made it for lunch on Monday in a bid to have a healthy week. Got sidelined and left it in my bag, which I carted around town until Weds when I decided, “it can’t be that bad if I have it now.”

Just a reminder, the Palace captain, missed pre-season because he went on holiday and had to self isolate, having finally got himself fit got sent off on his first start missing 3 games, is already on 4 bookings, and now breaking covid rules by going to parties. Absolute dick.

Julian Speroni has played a massive part in keeping Palace in the championship when in admin. He’s played a massive part in getting us promoted. He’s played a massive part in keeping us in the Premier League. If he wants to gift Liverpool a goal then I’m not going to stop him

I don’t think anyone realises the quality of that Benteke goal... he’s running backwards and sticks a volley back in to the bottom corner.

Mad to think 15 years later Neil Shipperly was wanking in a white van

Used to go drinking and running with my neighbour for 2 years before I found out his name. I even went round to help when him and his wife split up. Turned out we had the same name

Palace hit the bar. Hit the post. Had a goal disallowed and missed a one on one but apparently we’re now not creating enough? Or all the things to throw at palace. Creating enough isn’t one of them

Fans saying Jules coming on should depend on the match, because £4m is at stake. Get to fuck. Money we never see as fans. Football is about guys like Jules. He deserves respect like no other at Palace.

Let’s not forget, Hennesey has: 1) refused to play for a club to force a transfer 2) been called one of the “laziest trainers” by a colleague of his 3) made a nazi sign in a photo. 4) is shit. He’s actually pretty indefensible

Anyone who wants to sell, seems to think they’d get a cut of the money. Players like Eze are what makes football enjoyable

Newcastle are reportedly set to offer Crystal Palace £45m for Ebere Eze this summer. Should Palace take the offer, or keep the midfielder and hope he returns to his pre-injury form?

Clinton Morrison on good form on the telly. When asked about Guaita signing... “I could have told you that 3 weeks ago.”

As good as your point is, you’ve seemingly asked thousands of fans to give you a loan for the best part of a season to bail you out...

Jeez. £50m + for a RB with one full season under his belt, making him the most expensive English player and we’re all mugging off Parish.

Lads, if anyone knows of any one in the Coulsdon area who’s likely to be alone, or not able to cook on Christmas Day, give me a shout. I’ll have more than enough Turkey and trimmings that I can drop off to someone if they need a dinner.

Just realised Palace/ Hull has been moved to Willows 1st Birthday Party. Gutted that I'll have to miss her first one but lots more to do.

It wasn’t recorded for the press initially, but as potential evidence. Shameful behaviour for anyone that tries to make out that those who called the cops are the one in the wrong

Guiata waited 4 months for a chance, and grabbed it by making match winning saves. Hennesey has a chance to prove himself and ends up making Roy wish he was an actual nazi so he had an excuse to never play him again

“Meyer doesn’t show enough in training.” Meanwhile Jairo is player of the season, gets dropped, then can’t get back in on the back of a 7-0 loss. Irrelevant of your form or how you train if you’re not a favourite of Roy’s.

Not even mugging Hennessy off here, but Guiata has made better and more important saves in 6 months than Hennessy is 3 years

Oh FFS. But I don’t blame him. Mismanaged and poorly treated right to the end. Will be remembered fondly by so many

Wilf does a podcast saying he wants to win something to show his kids. Meanwhile Roy is throwing cup games with no ambition. No wonder the poor bastard wants out!

Imagine your life is of such poor quality you need to try and call people out who’ve raised an amazing amount of money for charity! Well done guys and ignore the haters

The industry didn’t create it. A person did and the industry followed suit. Also slightly different cos artists had the choice to join or not, and still do. And also financially it’s ruined the music industry

I genuinely think without Guaita we’d be in a proper relegation dog fight. He making unbelievable saves, time and time again.

We’ve beeen down in Eastbourne for 10 days and not seen the seals in the harbour once, despite coming twice a week. Today on my early run I finally saw one. So had to run back home to wake willow up and bring her back to see. Totally worth it

Plenty of ways to help them, and I’m sure you are. But scoring 200 odd to not even make it a game for the oppo probably does more harm than good compared to the time and hours you probably actually do within the club

I have no ill will on Benteke. Been unlucky with his injuries, been under appreciated at times, and we don’t really a play a style that suits him, certainly not any more. If we got £15m I think that can help solve a lot of issues

My highlight was being at the bar at half time, and the bloke behinds mate joining him... “how the fuck are we 2-0 down to this shit.” Ermmm, it’s not 2 mate. “3?!! I only went for a piss.” It’s actually 4. “OH FUCK OFF” and off he left.

2 years ago today, I witnessed Palace go 4-0 down to Sunderland before half time. Absolute scenes.

Yep. I shop almost exclusively for discounts bar the odd shirt that I adore and hunt down. FINALLY found the Zanzibar Hummel kit I’d wanted for 7/8 years last month. Glorious scenes.
