A freezing, snowy afternoon at St James' Park ended in a familiar sense of "what if" as Palace fell 2-0 to Newcastle. Given the injury crisis-with Will Hughes becoming the latest casualty early on-the lads showed incredible grit to keep it goalless for 70 minutes. We actually had the best chance of the first half when Yeremy Pino teed up Hughes, on…

We head to St James' Park tomorrow in what Oliver Glasner has honestly described as "survival mode." The hard-fought point against Fulham was a step in the right direction, but the cost was high-Will Hughes limped off to join a staggering injury list that already features Nketiah, Richards, and Munoz, while Ismaila Sarr is away at AFCON.

We start with Spurs and quickly ask a bigger question. When football gets this dull, what are fans meant to cling to? We talk Thomas Frank, clean sheets that feel joyless, away ends singing old songs to stay sane, and whether pragmatism has gone too far. From Spurs to Chelsea’s chaos, Liam Rosenior rumours, Brennan Johnson, Sunderland’s madness and…

A bittersweet start to 2026 as Palace were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham at Selhurst Park. After the tactical disaster at Leeds, we looked much more like ourselves- disciplined, aggressive, and direct. When Jean-Philippe Mateta powered home a trademark header from Nathaniel Clyne's cross just before the break, it felt like the perfect New Year's ton…

We kick off 2026 at Selhurst Park with a massive New Year's Day London derby, and let's be honest: we need a result. After a gruelling festive period that saw us fall short against Spurs and Arsenal, the squad is stretched to the limit. Eddie Nketiah and Chris Richards have joined the already crowded injury list, leaving Oliver Glasner with some ma…

Another frustrating afternoon at Selhurst Park as we closed out 2025 with a narrow 0-1 defeat to Tottenham. For large stretches, we were the better side, dominating possession and territory, but the familiar Achilles' heel of set-piece defending reared its head again. Archie Gray was left unmarked to flicker home a corner just before the break, and…

Heartbreak at the Emirates as Palace fell just short in a pulse-pounding 1-1 (8-7 pens) Carabao Cup quarter-final.
