Should have been at least 2-0. How did that free kick stay out?
But still a great result.
Over to Arsenal now to make it a clean sweep in Europe.

So very pleased for Palace. Bromley boy so local big club.

Sorry, really can't bring myself to want the Gooners to win.

I'm equally delighted as Adam Wharton is Blackburn born and bred. He came through our academy, a hugely gifted player we were privileged to watch for a season or two.

I've followed every Palace game since he left. Why Tuchel ignored a potential future England captain is beyond me.

BUT.........once a Rover, always a Rover. The whole family is blue and white.

I suspect his goal scoring record may be part of that.

Well done to Palace but it's funny when West Ham won the trophy in 2023 people couldn't wait to get on here saying its just a micky mouse cup.
How times have changed!

Heard that Palace have tapped up Iraola to replace Glasner. Would find that a very odd choice if he accepted seeing as how the whole point f him leaving Bournemouth seemed to be that he wanted a move back to Spain (I appreciate he has not taken the job, just musing on a hypothetical).

I am still slightly perplexed as to why Glasner is leaving? I know CP sell their best players and he had a little to do with the board over it, but surely as a successful Manager who has won three trophies, is in charge of a solid PL club and adored by the fans, why would you go?

I agree, not sure Jordan Henderson will wow us with his contributions - not. Whilst Declan Rice & Elliot Anderson are ahead of Wharton, if one of those get injured then I'd want Wharton in ahead of Mainoo or Henderson.

I suspect his goal scoring record may be part of that.

I must have missed the joke, as that cant be a serious comment. Maybe he was left out because he's not very good in goal.
