Great to be back at the @kiaoval.com for the first Surrey home game of the 2025 cricket season (vs Hampshire).
Absolutely glorious weather for it.

Obviously football wasn’t invented in 1992, so here’s how Oliver Glasner’s record compares to all Crystal Palace managers in the top flight.

After the win against Villa last night, Oliver Glasner now averages 1.5 points per game at Palace (highest of any Crystal Palace manager in the Premier League era).
Also 1.6 goals per game & a 40% win ratio.
36 points is also the highest points tally for Palace after 27 games in a PL season. #cpfc

Today marks the 1st anniversary of Oliver Glasner’s appointment as Crystal Palace manager.
The graphic sets out his record in all competitions (44 games).
His Premier League record is:
P38 W14 D12 L13 F58 A46 Pts 54
54 points would constitute a #cpfc record in any Premier League season.

A very enjoyable afternoon in Manchester, made all the better leaving with a deserved 3 points in the bag for Crystal Palace.
30 points, 12th in the table and very much looking toward a top half finish. #cpfc

Really enjoyed @mrjamesgraham.bsky.social’s “Brian and Maggie” on Channel 4.
Great dramatisation of an important turning point in modern British history.
But also how we badly miss the quality in-depth political interview.

I appreciate this isn’t the biggest consequence of Trump’s inauguration, but can someone explain why Gianni Infantino is amongst the VIP guests (basically behind the former Presidents!) at Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Most important thing was the 3 points last night.
Awful first half, improved 2nd half. Well taken goals, now Crystal Palace can start to look seriously at the top half of the Premier League table. #cpfc

Quite incredible night watching the one and only Sir Paul McCartney.
Will post some pictures tomorrow, but can’t resist posting the moment he brought out Ringo Starr to play with him on stage…!

As I head to Brighton…
In 1976-77, Crystal Palace & Brighton & Hove Albion played each other 5 times (including 3 FA Cup games!) & bad blood between managers Terry Venables and Alan Mullery spawned a club rivalry.
Here are the programmes from the initial First Round and replay games.

There has been a slight uptick again for 2024.
Although if I understand correctly it’s not quite keeping pace with the increase in the number of 18 year olds.

Enjoyed hosting a Q&A with the Interim Chair of the Office for Students, Sir David Behan yesterday at the Advance HE conference
He struck a good line between recognising some previous missteps from the regulator, a need to focus on core business & an ongoing challenge to higher education providers.

Correct. 0 shots for Newcastle & an expected goals of just 0.02.
Was so important we didn’t lose.
Excellent Eze got 60 mins ahead of Tues too.

Sheer relief around Selhurst Park with a last minute Munoz equaliser for Crystal Palace. The very least we deserved. Important point takes Palace out of the bottom 3.

Good point on the road for Crystal Palace against Aston Villa at Villa Park, especially given the injuries.
Worth the wind and the rain, the delayed train to see a decent Palace performance.
