Maraudin’ Joe channeling his inner Ralph last night

[John in Louisiana]

Finally had a chance to watch the game tonight.

Oh my word. How good was Ethan Ampadu? A fair number of players were fabulous - DCL, Bijol, Rodon, Struijk, Stach, Aaronson all worthy of 9s (excellent) in my opinion - but Ampadu is worth at least a 9.5.

He was omnipresent, dominated the midfield, and controlled the game single-handedly. A performance that reminded me of Zidane at his best. Stunning.

Don't let the ba****ds grind you down Cjay.

Or Nihil illigitimae carborundum as a scholar would say

Agree John

I gave all the above 9s, difficult to split them to be honest.

Even though I gave Ethan a 9, he was my MOTM with his 33 EX/VG contributions.

Farke is proving many of his critics wrong.

But he still won't get the credit he deserves from some fans.

[1964white]

Surprisingly 36,334 was our lowest attendance this season.

Hes still out of his depth apparently


Of course this good run will soon be forgotten if we dip in form.

Hopefully this is the new normal.

Surprisingly 36,334 was our lowest attendance this season.

I think the late(ish) change of date caught one or two out.

A couple of our regular crew couldn’t attend.

Us fans are like a twelfth man, Kev

My voice was still hoarse on Sunday morning.

Didn't they transfer the tickets to family & friends or sell them back to the club?

I think there were several empty seats in the top tier of the Palace end, only 1900 of them.

One gave his to a mate, he came, another gave it to a mates girlfriend but she was ill.

Not sure what happened to the other, probably sold back to the club.

Went to Selhurst Park in 87’ ( I think ) was a stih hole then, don’t know if it’s improved any. We got humped 3-0.

[Orange Box]

My very first game (ever) was Palace, 3rd FA Cup , in January 67. We won 3-0. I was 12.

The Regent used to be my local when I lived in Regent Street many moons ago

When I've watched matches there before it's been packed, but on Saturday it was fairly quiet, with lots of space. Made it a more pleasant experience to be honest, especially with flu going around at the moment.
