So Near, And Yet So Far

Filed under: Live on Sky - 13 May 2008

Walking into the Sports Cafe in Glasgow tonight to meet BBSers Marshy and Gosling I can’t say I was particularly optimistic about the ninety minutes that was ahead of us. That didn’t really improve when the sleepy abode refused to …

In a Word, Arrrgghhh!

Great, just like two years ago. Another bad time to pick to play badly at home in the first leg of a play-off semi final.

Burnley, Your Summer Starts Now (Thank You!)

Filed under: Neil Warnock - 04 May 2008

Today is one of those days where I feel daft for worrying. Prior to kick-off at Selhurst Park and knowing that a win would assure us of a play-off place I somehow felt that we typically wouldn’t make it that …

Draw at Hillsborough: Who’s More Gutted?

Filed under: Neil Warnock - 23 Mar 2008

Kind of typical late Saturday afternoon if (like me) you can’t get to a lot of games. Sky Sports News on, Soccer Saturday with all the updates. As is seemingly usual, we’re one of the last results to come in.

It’s …

Colchester Beaten, Safety Assured

Filed under: Neil Warnock - 09 Mar 2008

As nice as it was to actualy be at Selhurst Park on Tuesday night, I have to say I do prefer being able to report on a Palace. Thankfully another of these came yesterday, as beat Colchester United 2-1 at …

Freezing But Full of Hope

Crystal Palace vs Cardiff City, 4th March 2008 

On a rare trip down South I was lucky enough to take the opportunity to get to Selhurst last night. Well, lucky if you don’t mention that it was absolutely freezing cold in SE25 last night, and probably more so if (like me) you were in the upper tier of the Holmesdale. I came away with a desperate need to thaw out, but also optimistic about our future.

Saints Steal A Point

Filed under: Neil Warnock - 02 Feb 2008

Not the way you’d like to follow-up your first defeat in a fair while. Having taken the lead in the final twenty minutes through James Scowcroft we then had Ben Watson hit the woodwork twice, only for Shaun Derry to …

Another game without defeat, this time at Barnsley yesterday. The 0-0 result is our second clean sheet under Warnock, and our eighth successive game without defeat. Our best chances fell to Clinton Morrison, Shaun Derry and Ben Watson, but none …

Drawing Out The Away Days

Filed under: Ben Watson - 07 Nov 2007

Another away draw last night, this one a 1-1 affair with Cardiff City at Ninian Park. Darren Purse opened the scoring for Cardiff, before Ben Watson equalised for Palace from the penalty spot just before half-time.

Vaguely related to the action …

First Home Win of 2007/08

Filed under: Ben Watson - 22 Sep 2007

Yikes, I wouldn’t say that this win was a long time in coming, but I was beginning to think we were still in the Premiership. Speaking of being in the Premiership, at least this time we could rely on a …
