…..we thought they’d never end
we won the league
3 times in a row
we won the fa cup,
and now we’re going up
we are the town
oh yes we are the town

( one line of this is unfortunately the opposite of what this season is turning out)

On the 5Live preview they commented that since Glasner joined them, only Sheffield United had earned fewer points than Palace.

It was at that point I knew they were going to beat Liverpool.
You can always rely on Palace to turn over one of the big sides every season then be back to their absolute dog shit worst the following game.

I saw references to how quiet Anfield was but Jesus Christ it was almost silent. Where were the Always Ultras? Or is Liverpool too scary for them?

Good goal mind.
I think I can help here.

Liverpool's fans are always quiet and have always been massively overrated. You can hear a pin drop at Anfield unless they're winning easily in a big derby. And Palace fans are also a bit shite. Note how you couldn't hear a thing from them despite controlling possession for 60 seconds. You'd have thought there was a ban on away fans there until the ball hit the net.

Was a great goal to be fair.
Makes you wonder why we didn`t go for Wharton, Eze or Olise.
Smart business by Palace.
Have you seen where they are in the league table?

However if we had signed the three best players of every team in the bottom half of the table I agree, we could have done really well - probably top ten.

Anyway, while we are on the subject of Palace, I really like some of their shirts, particularly anything with a diagonal in it.

Great shirts, many points below us in the league, there we have it. Crystal Palace.

But, but, but it was the best two sets of fans in the world according to themselves and Talksport, it should have been a cauldron of noise. I've sat in louder crowds watching the first round of the World Snooker at the Crucible.
