Have bought my pointless Palace, football and general sports ramblings over here whilst the other place dies a slow death..
Never a handball for their winning goal for me, but should also never be missing two open goals and other half decent chances and expect to get a result. Who'd have thought that Ty would be the standard bearer in finishing.

Had booked today and tomorrow off to go to Strasbourg. When it sold out I decided it was a long way to go without a match ticket, so didn't bother. Seeing posts galore from everyone out there definitely isn't making me regret my decision 🙃

Delighted for Ebs, but wish it was for a fanbase that deserves him. That said, some of our fanbase are the same with Pino. Modern day fandom in a nutshell.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this. If I've not seen the goal for myself I'm believing he's left Ebs with a tap in on the line. Granted the assist has allowed him to hit it first time, but there's still a hell of a lot that could go wrong that Ebs executed perfectly.
Eze’s finish was technically sublime last night. Hitting a moving ball, 1st time, at an angle, 18 yards out…yet the England twitter accounted tweeted Foden put it on a plate. The ITV comms team were all about Foden. Gabriel Clarke actually asked Eze if it was all about the assist. Wtf am I missing?!

A number of days late to the party, but finally caught up with the ending of Traitors. And given the whole country must know the ending by now, I have no shame in declaring my hatred for Nate the Great is fully back. Even reminding myself that Joe Marler is Brighton isn't helping 🤣

Lots of tired legs after Thursday night, with our captain missing through injury, and that mob still couldn't beat us. Maybe if they tried moving the ball forward rather than building possession stats by keeping the ball with their CB's they might have troubled us 🤷♂️

Tyrick Mitchell is the first player to win possession 12+ times and win 12+ duels in a Premier League match this season - despite playing on one leg for the majority of the second half. 😅
An unbelievable effort from our No.3. 💪

Strasbourg sold out in 10 minutes in phase 1. How on earth did 700 tickets go before it went to phase 1?? Something isn’t right there.

Only 900 fans have more than 11000 by all accounts, so how this hasn't gone to phase 2 is absolutely criminal

A superb, solid win for the boys in red and blue today. Is there a correlation between Jordan Henderson arriving in West London and Brentford turning in to absolute wet wipes protesting any and every decision that went against them? So glad we've come away with the three points!

I’ve held the belief that Jordan Gobshite Henderson is the biggest cunt in football for a very long time & today I feel completely vindicated.

Oh man 😞
Jean-Philippe Mateta, who had already scored a hat-trick in the game against Bournemouth, was presented with a chance to win the game for Crystal Palace in the last moments of added time.
But the Frenchman ballooned his shot over the bar.

Mateta is such a one off- how's a guy getting a hat-trick and still costing us victory 🤣
Bournemouth first half were sensational, thoroughly deserving of their lead. But the character we then showed, to firstly get back to 2-2 and then 3-3, is something that is a delight to see.

Didn't think Mateta would get many minutes, so was overjoyed to see him start. And now he's bagged. Unreal moment for him 👏👏👏

Sitting just around the corner from Sloane Square, and just witnessed a well dressed lady sneeze in to her hands and then lick it. Money doesn't always buy class, does it?

Didn't see most of the game so can't comment too much, but the missed Mateta chances are worryingly continuing a theme for him so far this season. Selfishly wishing he hadn't been called up by France in all honesty, although the hope now is that he does well and comes back with renewed energy.

I think Liverpool will be alright once Mo Salah returns to the side. Missing a talisman like that would harm any side.

Would love for today to be a turning point in terms of getting results against the bigger clubs at Selhurst. We've had a free week to properly prepare for today, and are able to name arguably our strongest possible XI for the first time since the window shut. COYP.

Nasty roll of the ankle for Pino as he put in that challenge to stop Wilson getting a shot away on the stroke of half time, here's hoping he's back out for the second half. Only one grumble so far, and that's the lack of chances we're currently creating in open play.
