Palace tomorrow with match facts, North Stand expansion, Europa League fixtures and player speculation

30 August 2025
  • Crystal Palace
  • Marco Asensio
  • Europa League
I got to ten posts and truth be told, I'm surprised I got that far. But there were too many comments about too many new posts. So I failed in my post a day for a season, but I learnt something. Once or twice a week is best.

And not having to scrape th...

I've watched five matches this weekend and six last weekend and I have to hold my hands up and say there is only one side we will beat at the moment, from the teams I've seen and that is a little worrying.

And I'm putting yesterday down as another bad...

Nine is not the magic number and Aston Villa are not a pub team despite what others might say

Nine is not the magic number and Aston Villa are not a pub team despite what others might say

The second half of last season was better than the first and if our form from the first half of last season continued, we'd have finished below mid-table. The same could almost be said for Manchester City and I could also make this sound good for oth...

Eight, at Brentford, need a good day and window closing soon

Just because Brentford have made a lot of changes this summer and got beat on the opening game of the season does not mean this is an easy fixture. You might even say they're a little like that bear you poked in the woods when the bear was sleeping.

Today is a day where there is little for me to write about that hasn't been written before. I'm starting to think that maybe we do five days a week or maybe six. Maybe I give myself the option to pick a day a week where I don't post.

Or maybe I just w...

You probably thought I wasn't going to make it today, but here I am and it's six days in a row. 

And it's actually quite nice, getting into a rhythm again. I've been thinking about this post all day but it's only now that my day is coming to an end an...

So, five in a row. I confess I didn't think I'd make it this far but now I have I can see me getting to ten. We should have a sweepstake on how far this goes because the last time I managed five days in a row is probably a good seven to ten years ago...

What a weekend for football and it hasn't ended. The weekend has, but we still have Leeds and Everton tonight. And the atmosphere at Elland Road is always good. They'll be happy they're back and I'm quite looking forward to Monday night football agai...

With your usual vocal backing and 110 percent effort from each and every one of the players, I am sure we will get the right result.

I don't particularly like Birmingham City after the four games we have played against them in the Premiership.

Villa have amazing support. If you hung 11 Villa shirts on a washing line 20,000 fans would turn up to watch them!
