Easyjet for some, Klasjet for the team. After ascend went bust yesterday, who is operating the fan charters? #cpfc

Every time I walk to and from work I see this ad. My sister took her own life 3 and a bit years ago in December. It’s a hugely important thing to try and prevent but it’s also immensely upsetting. I’m not sure how you navigate publicly trying to prevent suicide without it being triggering.

Watching Portsmouth vs Leicester City and you’d honestly think it was Pompey in the bottom three trying to climb out. The effort and commitment levels aren’t on par. Especially given that Leicester have better, technical players.

Palace flying out to Florence on a 737-300. Fun seeing those still flying.

It’s important that non-Americans understand what the US brand of freedom actually looks like. Now apply this to all other industries you spend money on. It’s the most American experience you can have.

Im in Sacramento, California at the moment, staying near Mather. Excuse the poor quality photo but this is the Boeing 767 belonging to the NBA team the Houston Rockets. It puts Palace’s little charter planes they use for European games to shame 😀 It’s an impressive piece of kit.

The ‘we are apolitical’ line used by organisations to defend their inciting of and meeting with political entities and personalities is from an era where political parties mostly occupied a centre ground. It doesn’t wash when you spend time with someone with extreme views like Farage.

Formula 1: the new regulations will encourage racing!!! Also Formula 1: the race finished with the same top 3 as they qualified. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

I used to hate Wembley. Thought it was horrible to get to, wasn’t fan friendly and thought finals/key games should have been held around the country. But now? It’s magical and I love it. A place of immaculate memories.

I reported a user repeatedly posting a monkey gif under a story about Vinicius Jnr’s racism accusation to Instagram. It was clearly racist. Instagram have ‘reviewed’ each report and declined to do anything about them, claiming they don’t breach community standards. They don’t care about racism.

The BBC’s attempts to distance Prince Andrew from his family, to other him, in defence of the royals is both transparent and utterly shameful. He wasn’t errant. They knew what he was doing. His mum, the Queen, paid £12m to his victim. For something he didn’t do?! She fucking knew, as did they all.

Curling is the darts of winter ‘sports.’

Anything associated with this charlatan should be immediately dismissed. The bloke is an abhorrent scumbag to blame for much of the suffering in this country and now he wants to inflict even more. He will rot in hell when his time comes.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that seeing Arsenal bottle another title challenge is what we all want to see.

Watching Wolves vs Arsenal. It’s actually criminal when managers limit what players are capable of doing. Eze is a shadow of the guy he was at Palace. Just little passes here and there, no magical runs, no beating a man. Just pass pass pass. What is the point.

Curling is the darts of winter ‘sports.’

Palace depart for Mostar from Biggin Hill at 15:40 today. A bit more direct than most Palace fans are going!

You know what I can’t stand about modern marketing? The ‘how did we do?’ emails. If I’ve not been in touch with you after you’ve delivered your product, you’ve done great. Our contract has been completed and we don’t owe each other anything else. Stop emailing me with inanities.

I didn’t realise how much of the FA Cup coverage had been privatised this year. Just one televised game on the BBC this weekend? Is that right? Meanwhile TNT get 8 live games? Do the FA not want people to watch the competition? 🙃

Ever since Eni Aluko claimed that people on furlough during the pandemic were just being lazy, I’ve had zero respect for her. I’m glad she’s consistently highlighting how moronic she is. It’s important that people realise it and don’t forget.

I’m not usually affected by celebrity deaths. I tend not to feel emotional about people I don’t know. But Catherine O’Hara’s death hit me for six. My wife and I watched Schitts Creek during lockdown and it was genuinely one of the only highlights of my day. And she was the reason. RIP. ❤️

Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun in the US unless you then get murdered by federal agents. At that point, you become a gunman that shouldn’t be carrying a weapon and your death becomes sickeningly justified.

I reckon this story correlates with the shocking cost of nursery in the UK, too. Parents are exhausted and overwhelmed — so it’s easier to just sit kids in front of tablets or to leave them in nappies. It’s a damning indictment of the challenges faced by parents. news.sky.com/story/nearly...

While I understand ‘this is just how it works’, Crystal Palace losing their best player, captain, manager & the Europa League in the eight months after their greatest day is a brutal reminder that football doesn’t allow smaller clubs to be happy for long. www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

No, I don’t want to solve fucking puzzle games, LinkedIn.

Interesting (as a plane nerd) that Palace seemingly chartered BA Cityflyer to take them up to Newcastle for today’s game, and are taking them back to London afterwards. Didn’t know CityFlyer even did charter services.

AI slop update. I got an AI generated ad that was purposefully misleading and deceptive in its messaging. I reported it to Google. They can’t act on it because the ad in question was deleted. What kind of oversight is that?

Football is cyclical. Nothing is permanent. Glasner has the 8th longest tenure as manager in the Premier League. 12 other clubs have appointed someone more recently — it’s indicative of how cutthroat things are. But Palace will survive, and will keep striving. Setbacks can be opportunities too.

Before the Brexit fuckwittery, you used to order something on Amazon, you wouldn’t know it was coming from an EU country, you wouldn’t have an Import Fee Deposit, and your package would arrive the next day. Now we have this rigmarole. And the package isn’t due to arrive until Thursday.

What a great win. Supremely coached by Shanahan and Saleh. Let’s go, Niners!!!

Today, for the first time in our history, Palace go into the FA Cup third round as the holders of the greatest cup competition in the World. What an honour. ❤️💙

You know what it is that bothers be about Eze barely playing? It’s that he’s truly capable of greatness. We saw it with our own eyes. But money corrupts. It took him away, confined him in ‘tactical awareness’ and turned him into a commodity rather than someone that could be cherished. It’s sad.

🎙️ Glasner. #CPFC #FACup Mateta will not feature... 'JP will not travel with us. We'll give him a rest, not playing on astro. We've talked about some issues with his knee. Everything's under control, but we don't want to risk that he plays on astro and it gets worse, that's why he stays in London.'

The great thing about The Ashes being on TNT is that I barely knew they happened.

Our wool blend CPFC hats are back in stock and go quickly. Message me for mates rates prospecthillgear.com?utm_source=i...

Planes.

Today will forever be the saddest day of my life. My heart aches and the yearning to have a few more moments with my sister never ends. Suicide is never the answer. You are loved and you are needed.

I did not need a Year in Review from LinkedIn or Discord. I don’t need to remember how many connections I’ve made or how many messages I’ve sent. Get them in the bin.

Made the realisation just now that I don’t think I’ve paid for anything with cash this year. 🤯

ESPN released their list of Top 50 American players, based on club form. A familiar face is at number 1! The article also includes some very complimentary words on Crystal Palace, including this excerpt: “Palace is the best team any American is currently playing for” #CPFC

Palace #cpfc team flying across this evening. No Ryanair for them lot!

Uche came on today with a purpose. Bassey had been dominating in defence and Uche went in to destabilise him. And it worked. They stopped having it so easy in defence. They stopped being able to push up on our midfield. Uche is raw but I can see something about him. He’s not afraid. That helps.

Happy for Norris. Happy for McLaren. They’ve been excellent this season. Gutted for Piastri but he’ll win a title soon enough.

My wife is an immigrant. We’ve paid many thousands of pounds for her to live here. She contributes to society and to the economy. But this shit? It makes us feel unwelcome. It implies that she’s lesser because she’s not high earning, or an entrepreneur. I’m revolted by this Tory-lite government.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE HYPHENS

2025 was the year Palace reclaimed Glad All Over. ❤️💙

FYP at the FSA. What a beautiful bunch of FYP folk at the FSA Awards last night. Joe Walker Jack Pierce Andy Street @jimdalycomedy.bsky.social @rodusu.bsky.social @jcthelegend.bsky.social @fiveyearplan.bsky.social @wearethefsa.bsky.social

You’ll never convince me that VAR is something that has improved the game.

Palace team travelling less posh than usual Klasjet today, but still not a bad way to travel. It’s nice on board this one! Biggin Hill to Strasbourg later today. #cpfc @rodusu.bsky.social
