“The best of times,the worst of times”

“The best of times,the worst of times”
The above quote is taken from the classic novel A Tales of two cities, by Charles Dickens

2025
FA cup winners
Community Shield winners
19 game unbeaten run
Competing in Europe.
Playing our best football since the Steve Coppell era.

2026
Humiliated in the FA cup ( no disrespect Macclesfield)- a totally justified and deserved win.

Manager having a melt down - in the full glare of the world media ( suggesting a total breakdown in a working relationship between team manager and ownership of club)
This has an obvious negative effect on on members of the playing staff, as this is self evident in personal and team results and performance.

Possible relegation candidates ( But I think we’ve just enough points on the board! Just !)

Upon reflection I recon Charles Dickens would make a classic fan of Palace!

COYP!!!

If Glasner resigns therefore waiving a pay off it will be a far, far better thing than he has ever done, and his time off will be a far, far better rest than he has ever known. And for book worms may I recommend the true story of how Samantha Fox paid to have her breasts insured: 'A Sale of Two Titties'.

Funnily enough I was having similar thoughts myself this weekend (not the Dickens bit).
I think we'll muddle through the rest of the season and have enough to stay in the League but will exit Europe .
Most of the players are about 10-20% off what they were last season.
The relentless focus has gone.
Unsurprisingly heads have dropped on the back of only one win in a couple of months and the confidence is brittle.
It no longer looks like a group working towards a common goal which is unsurprising with some of the group already planning their next moves for next season.
I already have a feeling that I just want the season out of the way which is an unfamiliar one so early in the season.

these are Hard Times, Selhurst has become a Bleak House, but if we manage to win the Conference League we can finish on an Oliver Twist. I'm here all day. What the Dickens!

All part of the palace rollercoaster I suppose.

And these bad times they really do make the good times all the better!

If you think 13th in the prem, playing in Europe and just spending 50 million on a striker is bad times, then you've not supported the club very long.

Well I still have Great Expectations for European glory.

Might possibly become an anaconda. 😉

Bleak House features a megalosaurus which Dickens was inspired by the Crystal Palace dinosaurs in 1853.

I'm pretty sure that we don't allow anything cultural. 😉 👍
