I am normally more concerned if Palace has a good preseason. The worst preseason game I went to was Reading away. Barely touched the ball in there half. A guy got kicked out after having an argument with the whole away end that we should be more angry. That was the promotion season.
In November, a lobbying firm approached me and asked to pay me to write articles critical of the Building Safety Regulator for newspapers. Filmed undercover, their staff admitted secretly paying reporters for copy in British newspapers friendly to their clients: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

That said, met expectations from a non English manager. I'm sure we could hire an English manager and meet expectations results. I always think the English manager should be English. They can be dual national. As long as they have British citizenship and consider themselves English.
England are roughly a top 4 nation in the world. Going out in the semis is meeting expectations. It's been a decent world cup. (Good outside of England).
What is going on with this selection of flags? The Vatican, union, EU and North Cyprus isn't playing in the world cup. #funwithflags

We cannot do this for 20 mins. We need to keep the ball for a bit.
So pleased for Haaland. I thought he would be like George Best. Be one of the best players in the world but not get that major tournament/world cup moment! He is having a great world cup.

Bit disappointed, I couldn't colour in David Beckham tripping Diego Simeone.
