Travelling, drinking and footballing. Often combine all three into one. Probably about it, really. Fucking dull.
Team Called Palace@teamcalledpalace.bsky.social · 4d agoSpezia have released a 120-year anniversary shirt - inspired by the original colours of Crystal Palace. 👕 The Serie C side were founded in 1906 by Swiss banker Hermann Hurni, who played for the early Palace amateur teams during his time as a student in London. 🤝 #CPFC
6 points from our next 5 would be a good output, IMO. #cpfc

Brewery Updates : Finally some good news! Palindrome Brewing Co are up and running in Lower Sydenham, beers have been out in the wild since late summer and a taproom is planned.
Really hard to engage with this place when there is nothing going on. X is still active and a constant source of info. This place is just meh.
Besiktas booked! Fucking Palace app almost gave me a heart attack trying to do it, so gave up. #cpfc
Great night last night. Nothing beats a few nights away with beer, food and football. Loads of England in the home end, right by the “ultras”. Generally good atmosphere… Shame a minority started singing “stop the boats” but I called them out and most around me told them to shut the fuck up.
Haha, this is actually a brilliant story! I love little football nuggets like this. A great find!
The Palacetician@glad-all-over.bsky.social · 2w agoRe: the apostrophe and QPR, it was dropped mid-season in 1967, between 21st and 30th October to be precise simply because the secretary / programme editor [Ron Phillips] didn't like it and it was dropped as an aesthetic decision.
My 99th country was already booked for Christmas. Today, 100th booked. February 2027. 💯
Peter@petercpfc.bsky.social · 3mo agoAnd here we are. Finally a new one. 98. Tunisia. Arrived late so haven’t seen anything yet. All I’ve heard so far is Brits complain about the heat. Stay home, FFS.
I don't like the idea that the entire population of a nation is tarred by the acts of their government (and military). Banning Israel from various sporting events, like Russia before, has zero impact on those we should be holding to account. It's a meaningless shot across the bow.
I wish journalists would stop making stuff up. Supposed Palace fan, too…
Bobby Manzi@bobbymanzi.bsky.social · 3w agoFootball finance expert Kieran Maguire told Daily Mail Sport: ‘The bigger brands see season-ticket holders as bed blockers as tickets can be sold at a higher price to international fans and those desperate to see their club but who can only manage it once a year due to logistical challenges.’ More 👇
Look, I've dived and jet-skiied in the so-called Bermuda Triangle and I can tell you - there's nothing to see. Just like in Brighton's Trophy Cabinet. #cpfc
Steve F@uppertiersteve.bsky.social · 3w ago"Brighton & Hove Albion's gross financial debt stands at £407 million, entirely provided through interest-free, unsecured loans from chairman and owner Tony Bloom" Defying the odds indeed.
"I love being part of the school class WhatsApp group full of malcontent mothers" said no father ever.
Reminded of a proud moment yesterday: Outside NJ station, a fella was selling half and half scarves. Abi very confidently told Charlie that under no circumstances do we ever buy half and half scarves unless it's a European final. She said if he wanted a scarf, it had to be just Palace! #cpfc
Peter@petercpfc.bsky.social · 3w agoFirst game today for the youngest at Selhurst. A 7-0 defeat. He says he wants to go again but he spent about an hour eating and drinking, and about an hour watching YouTube on my phone. Roaring success. #cpfcw
Also: I hate cheering for the Packers, but come on ffs

My task list makes a very satisfying "ping" sound when I complete a task. Not heard it for a while. Nice to spend a morning finalising stuff, instead of letting stuff rot 90% done.
Not normally a fan of colonisation, but I'm all for invading and colonising Piddington. I'm sure we can integrate them into multi-cultural Britain over the next few centuries.
Almost 4 stone down now. About another half stone to lose (hopefully) before I start building up a bit again. I'm at the weight I want to be at now, but not the shape, so need to lose more to build back up.
Look, I’m not saying I’d vote for an independent city state but I’d definitely vote for an independent city state.
The Policy Institute@policyatkings.bsky.social · last mo.NEW: London has among the lowest violent crime rates in England & Wales, tops a ranking of best cities, and pays more in tax than it gets back – but the public overestimate crime risk, underestimate its standing, and don't know it's a net fiscal contributor.
