The Cup

On the Palace app there is 'Access All Areas' video for those who want to relive the day.

This takes in some marvellous footage from pre match through to the post match celebrations.

I hadn't realised that Freedman was at the match and it was good to see the players celebrate with him as he has been an important part of the story.

There's some teasing of Kamada who is dressed in his suit and ready to go home before the celebrations have even started.

Of course winning a Cup Final helps, but there does seem to be a genuine bond between the players.
 
Well done for this thread. I am still in awe of what was achieved 2 weeks ago. There has not been a single day that I have not watched cup final highlights or blogs. I knew a trophy win would be special (started in 1974 for me) but it has exceeded my wildest expectations.

People I haven't spoken to you in years have been in touch to say they were Palace fans for the day. This has been the greatest non family event of my life. I am hungry for more!!
 
Agreed, great thread. I was thinking about it, and I genuinely think it was the best day of my life. I mean it wasn't more meaningful than tying the knot and the birth of my daughters, but...on my wedding day I was 31 years old, knew I was going to get married, and I'd probably imagined what it would be like a few times. When my daughters were born I was a few years older, but again I knew they were coming, and it was joyful.

But on May 17th I had waited much longer (50 years a fan), had fantasised fervently about a major trophy on occasion, and I knew there was a chance but I wasn't expecting it to happen. And I have got to be honest that the scale of stress before the ref blew his final whistle knocks the nerves of weddings and births into a cocked hat 🤣🤣 The explosion of joy was the greatest. Sorry if I am shallow and the description sounds a bit dodgy ! But as the OP said, wasn't it just f***ing great !
