\"Crystal<\/p>\n

A midweek trip to Selhurst Park promised reasonably great things for the star studded players of the mighty Cardiff City, but, sadly, it turned out to be one of those<\/em> nights.<\/p>\n

\"Crystal<\/p>\n

I’m quite partial to Crystal Palace’s ground \u00a0– partly because we almost always win there (note: almost<\/em> always) and because it’s a proper old fashioned ground with wooden seats and a crowd usually makes a bit of a noise (even if that\u00a0noise\u00a0is a particularly rhythm-challenged\u00a0drummer).<\/p>\n

\"Crystal<\/p>\n

The usual daft cheerleaders were on hand to pointlessly prance\u00a0around\u00a0the\u00a0pitch before the game with the added bonus of an eagle that equally pointlessly flapped about in a manner\u00a0reminiscent\u00a0of Cardiff City’s first half\u00a0performance.<\/p>\n

\"Crystal<\/p>\n

In the end, Cardiff hit the post twice, missed a\u00a0penalty, and forced some cracking saves from their keeper, but in the end lost to a particularly jammy bundled goal.<\/p>\n

Shut the flip up<\/strong><\/p>\n

My fondness for Palace has dissipated somewhat with the club’s continuing insistence on playing really cheesy music\u00a0whenever\u00a0they score –\u00a0something\u00a0that\u00a0should\u00a0lead to an automatic points\u00a0dedication\u00a0in my book – and, unforgivably, repeatedly\u00a0announcing\u00a0forthcoming commercial events over the Tannoy while the game was still being played<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tacky, Palace. Very tacky. We’re here to watch the football, not to be sold shit.<\/p>\n

That said, I wouldn’t like to see Palace go down, so our loss is at least their gain as they struggle at the foot of the table.<\/p>\n
