There’s also the small matter of Florence logistics, where alternative travel plans are discussed and how a lack of booze might be an issue in Italy. But it’s n...

Nil-nil and not much thrill. Palace follow up a frustrating stalemate against Larnaca with another toothless 0-0, this time against ten-man Leeds... and somehow it’s even harder to watch. Terence, Albert and Hesketh discuss the two games where the goals never came, the spark never lit, and patience may finally be wearing thin. Oliver Glasner’s post-match comments raise eyebrows (again), with more...

Palace head to North London and leave Tottenham in absolute disarray. Ismaïla Sarr bags a brace as the Eagles thrash Spurs on their own patch, sending the hosts hurtling towards the Championship and giving the travelling Palace fans every excuse to celebrate. Party?

There’s a full rundown of the latest transfer noise, a look ahead...

Walking on broken Glasner, try not to cut your feet!

We touch on the defeat at the Stadium of Light, discuss JP Mateta’s uncertain future and the ch...

As many of us were booking flights to Bosnia in the wake of the Conference League draw, one could have been excused for expecting a fairly run of the mill press conference in the build up to Sunderland. Instead, one of the most explosive Crystal Palace press conferences in the history of the Club took place as it was revealed that both the Head Coach and the Club captain would be leaving South Lon...

Terence, Albert and Hesketh are reunited for the first time in over a month and unfortunately just in time to pick over the bones of an utterly shambolic third-round exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Macclesfield. We try to delay the inevitable by talking about the Main Stand redevelopment, Mamadou Sakho calling time on his career, Conor Gallagher heading to Tottenham Hotspur, and the entertain...

Albert and Hesketh link up this week to re-live the events of the past week, including club record signing, a home draw against Fulham that saw Joachim Andersen lose his rag again and our annual defeat away at Newcastle. The guys discuss loans out, loanees returning, the usual Guehi gossip and the added bonus of the "Glasner to Man U” train gathering pace. We also wonder if Villa's Palace curse wi...

Oh, and we all know everyone’s favourite moment of 2025 so we don’t bother with that Hosted on Acast. S...

Crystal Palace won at Craven Cottage for the third time this year, which raises the big philosophical question: do we get to keep Fulham now? The boys look ahead to the FA Cup defence with a first-round trip to Macclesfield – a new ground for many of the travelling faithful – and with four all-Premier League ties, we can’t help but ask: what’s stopping us from doing it all again in 2026? There’s p...

After going ahead against both Strasbourg and Manchester United but failing to see it out, the Eagles got it right at Burnley to climb back into 5th place in the Premier League. Terence, Albert and Hesketh break down a frantic three games in six days, dig into the newly released CAS appeal document that lays everything bare, and cover all the chaos, context and Palace-flavoured drama in between. H...
