Palace v. Spurs Reconsidered

On Sunday, we finally got the chance to actualy watch Crystal Palalce's 3-0 victory over the otherwise-streaking Tottenham. The first half was mostly dreadful. Indeed, the opening hour was less than aweinspiring.

But around the 60-minute mark, Palace heated up, with several attacks that looked increasingly effortless. Man, it's nice having AJ locked up for now. His penalty, though successful, was somewhat dodgy. Still, just having him out there can really open up the pitch for the rest of the team. Also, some nice 'keeping from Kiraly.

Lastly. Please stop booing Wayne.

Latent Christmas Gift Post

Despite the recent run of matches, Absolute Cracker takes solace in our new Crystal Palace bed set. Oh, and it comes with a strip-shaped pillow!

These fabulous boudoir accoutrements were a gift from AbCrack's sister, who purports to be a ManYoo and Millwank supporter. In which case, her thoughtfulness is even more appreciated.

BTW...Man City 3-1 Palace

Palace failed to gaina point in their match against Manchester City this past weekend. SWP hada brace for Citeh.

Kaviedes Set to Leave Palace

According to published reports, Ecuadorian international Ivan Kaviedes will leave Crystal Palace and return to his home country. Since arriving at Selhurst from Barcelona de Guayaquil, Kaviedes has started just once for the regular squad while spending most of his time with the reserves. Good luck to Ivan.

Current Tables

As you can see here, Crystal Palace are currently 17th in the Prem, one spot above the drop zone. Absolute Cracker has a feeling that this is going to be touch-and-go all season long.

Palace 2-0 Aston Villa
