tuesday night the eagles welcome the yorkshire peacocks to selhurst park in croydon
palace were formed in 1863 as a ameture club and played at the crystal palace exhibition building grounds they claim to be the oldest football team in the world but didnt turn pro till 1902
the 1st team i watched as a boy my grandad took me because stan mathews was with blackpool at the time as was down to play he didnt btw
so we left at half time
they have the nickname the eagles that came about when they played at a ground called the nest witch they took over when croydon common fc went bust
they have an odd rivalry with brighton but that only goes back a few years
famous fans include
bill nighy
eddie izzard
jo brand
niel morissey
ian wright ( wright wright )
a dr who
and maxi jazz
its the home of rock band st etienne named after the most successful football team in france
punk legend's johhny moped ( excellent documentary on sky about them )
kirsty mcall
francis rossi
its also the home of grime musics stormsy
i was born 15 mins from the ground from the front window you can see the lights of the ground and the back sutton utds ground my dad and an uncle played for them in the 50,s
i predict a riot 1-1
Fingers crossed mouseman but Leeds go to selhurst park on Tuesday night they will have missed the game
Playing MONDAY NIGHT🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think we have more than enough to get a draw from this one but in all fairness to Vieira he has them playing a nice brand of football and they are no pushovers especially at home
1-1 for me also
Go Mouseman the Magnificent!
Marsch is a man mountain of management and in a meaningful match on Monday, he'll manage us to a massive 3 points.
Cheese Rolls 1 - 2 Leeds (Meslier and Mateusz)
Good Luck my Friend
Gone are the days we got the whole Arthur Waite stand or was that Wimbledon when they lodged there?
Good luck mouse. Are you going.
Pity about Forshaw, luckily Philips ready to start. I think it will be a tight game but the best I can see is a draw.
1-1
RAPHA
8c for the match which is disappointing but expected as the bloody weather usually turns a bit rubbish when we play. Cold wind and cloudy.

Quality MDT Mouseman and good luck for a prolonged run....
We need to get something out of this game before we play the big teams....
I'm very confident we'll pull away from this whereas others will be panicking.... Bumley CANNOT keep picking up points as their results prove over the WHOLE season. They've picked up 7 out of the last 9 but that will be it on their little run....
I'm going for a positive 1-0 victory with Raphinha back on fire and notching....
