It’s 56 years since The Geordie Times forst visited Selhurst Park in sooth London, to watch The Toon in August 1970, when NUFC lost 1-0!
If I remember rightly, there woz a grass bank at the back part of the Holmesdale Road end, where the double decker stand iz now! Toon fans were in the opposite open end, where the supermarket iz now!

It was primitive then and it’s still primitive now, with the shallow rake of the away section, makin it impossible to see the near side corner flag at the Holmesdale Road end, even though I am 6 foot taall!⬇️
*Sven Botman iz still oot, alang with Bruno and Fab Schar, but Lewis Miley iz in contention for a place in the squad!
*(Although we hear 👂 that The Toon are are toyin with the idea of puttin Botman in a mask to protect hiz broken nose! 👃?
Palace have won just 3 of their 15 home Premyaa Leegue games this season, drawing 7 and losin 5, so this iz a great opportunity to collect the 3 points, to climb the table! With the possibility of the top 7 qualifying for Europe next season, this iz a great chance to gain some groond! (11 places in Europe are possible IF certain teams win the 4 cups on offer!---highly unlikely!)
Palace beat Fiorentina 3-0 in the first leg of their Conference tie on Thorzday, but the Italians wirnt very good! (Watched it on a ☠️ channel at an unknown address!)
NUFC sit in 12th place in the table, with 42 points, just 4 points behind Brentfaad in 7th
It’s still "aall to play for", with 7 games left!
And more importantly, just ONE game per week, so that the players (and fans!) can recover from travel sickness! (unlike the previous 4 months, with 2 games per week, every week!)
That’s 6 very winnable games (v Palace, Bournemoooth, Forest, 🌳 West Ham, 🥩, Brighton and Fulham) and one ‘toughie’ at The Arseholes!
"Bring them on!" 🤪👍🏁
