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. ❤️💙

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

This is the best it’s ever been as a Palace fan. So much to enjoy. ❤️💙

Them: you need to do compliance training to use AI. Me: That’s okay, I won’t use it. Them: You still have to do it. Now I’m watching a compliance video about technology I don’t want to use in a professional capacity, voiced over by a generative AI voice. Shoot me.

Top tip. With Black Friday upon us, you’ll get lots of emails from retailers and companies you’ve barely ever interacted with. Now is the perfect time to open their emails, and click Unsubscribe. I do it every year. It really helps to filter out the companies you actually want emails from.

The most special of days.

It’s 24 hours since Ireland beat Hungary and I still can’t find highlights online. What in the modern world of football is this nonsense?!

I find it hard to believe that Scotland don’t have a better defender than Grant Hanley to start for them. He was a terrible selection four years ago, and has become less mobile and less capable since!

Deleted Facebook. Their algorithm feeding endlessly depressing news stories and highlighting scummy comments was enough. News organisations need to do more to police their comments. Seeing thick racists defending Hitler with comments about watching his speeches translated by AI was the last straw.

Speaking of bellends. Tuchel bringing on Henderson instead of Wharton.

Brilliant talent, total bellend.

European refereeing really is just weak as shit, they don’t allow for any real physicality. It’s embarrassing.

“He was the greatest player I ever saw. It was not just his skill — he was a magician.” Ahead of a home Ashes without him, @paulfnewman66.bsky.social talks to Mark Waugh, Mike Hussey, Jason Gillespie, Rob Key and others about the brilliance of Shane Warne www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

Crystal Palace have denied a Football Association charge relating to a banner held up by the club’s supporters in their Premier League match with Nottingham Forest earlier this season. More from @mattwoosie.bsky.social ⤵️

Despite playing just 30 minutes, Yeremy Pino led Crystal Palace in: -shots -shot sequence involvements -expected assists (xA) -expected goal contributions (xG + xA) He was also 2nd in passes into the pen. area & attempted Palace’s only shot on goal after the 8th minute. #CPFC

🚨🎙️| POST MATCH POD Rob and JD review that goalless draw at Selhurst with a team who have never won a cup. Link in comments ⬇️

I don’t often vote for the MOTM, but I did this time. Tyrick Mitchell was our best player today. He had the better of Minteh throughout.

What the fuck is going on with advertising? Christmas ads a week into November?! Are you fucking nuts?

Wolves appointing Rob Edwards is surely just a case of accepting they’re going down and preparing for a promotion push next season? I get that it’s an opportunity for Edwards to move to a club closer to home, but it feels shortsighted given where Middlesbrough are in the Championship.

Happy Saturday youtu.be/0aD2LSYqhWc?...

Why is the PA sooooooo fucking loud on European nights? Can’t hear people I’m sat next to 😂

Also, time to dump the Elvis song. It’s not ours. It’s the antithesis of what we are — Slow, cumbersome, melancholy. Let it be a thing of the past, an FA Cup memory.

2-0 is a good score but it could and should be more. Yeremy needs one to go in off his arse. Get that Selhurst goal and move upwards!

The seasonal descent into darkness that we experience every year feels all the worse knowing that the anniversary of my sisters death looms. I’ve found myself thinking about what she was doing, what lead her down the path she took, what the decisive moment was. Grief is torment. I miss her.

This guy had a great game. Starting to see him adjust really nicely.

Think Brentford are the most direct side we’ve played at Selhurst in a long time. The weird up and under kicks to restart the game were dreadful. I’m also shocked at their total lack of composure. 4 yellow cards for dissent! Ridiculous. Their harassment of the referee was worthy of an FA charge.

I’ve done it, and honestly the win gave me a kind of peace and serenity which allowed closure. And forgiveness of Pardew. A man who gave us such a special moment in 1990 and who deserves some grace for a moment of exuberance in 2016.
