Macclesfield (1) 2 v Crystal Palace (0) 1 Dawson 43 Buckley-Ricketts 60 Pino 90 By Kaz Mochlinski at Moss Rose FA Cup Third Round Crystal Palace succumbed to the greatest shock in the history of the FA Cup, with the holders being knocked out of this season’s competition by non-league part-timers as Macclesfield secured a famous 2-1 win at Moss Rose. It was the first ever victory for a sixth tier team over a Premier League opponent, and the 117-place gap in the English footbal

Picture by @capitalfootball With five midweek Premier League games taking place in the capital this week, it has felt as though something is going on just about everywhere. And ahead of Wednesday's three games at Brentford, Fulham and Crystal Palace there was the little matter of the latest calamity at the London Stadium for West Ham United where distress signals are peppering the sky. You can read about that 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest for the ailing Irons and the impl

Eagles didn't soar in the north east Premier League Newcastle United (0) 2 Guimaraes 71, Thiaw 78 Crystal Palace (0) 0 If Crystal Palace can take any solace from their latest defeat at St James' Park, one of their least favourite hunting grounds, it must be that Newcastle didn't manage a greater victory margin. The Magpies would have challenged last season's 5-0 triumph had two first-half efforts by Anthony Gordon and Joelinton not been ruled out by fractional offside decisi

Crystal Palace (0) 0 v Tottenham Hotspur (1) 1 Premier League Matchweek 18 Talking Points By Kaz Mochlinski at Selhurst Park “S**t happened again.” The articulate and eloquent Crystal Palace manager, Oliver Glasner, could not have expressed in any better phrasing the frustration felt by his team after yet another narrow and probably undeserved defeat against Tottenham Hotspur. It was an inauspicious result to end the best ever year for the club, with a first major prize in Pa

Eyes down for another capital clash : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Crystal Palace (0) 0 Tottenham Hotspur (1) 1 Gray 42 Archie Gray claimed his first senior goal after 112 appearances as Spurs made light of being second best for most of the game to plunder a vital away win. They had to soak up up a ton of pressure from the Eagles whose drip-drip feed of crosses could not quite carve out the opening they desperately needed. In the end the on-target count was edged by S

The Rest is Merch : Picture by @YTJourno Carabao Cup Quarter-Final Arsenal (0) 1 Lacroix og 80 Crystal Palace (0) 1 Guehi 90+5 (Arsenal won 8-7 on pens) It wasn't as goal-laden is the cup tie between the two sides in the same competition a year ago but the denouement to make it arguably even more memorable. It needed an own goal from Maxence Lacroix and a 'miss' from the luckless Eagles defender to settle it after an endless shoot out of 15 perfect kicks in a sequence that l

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner by Capital Football Crystal Palace 2 KuPS Kuopio 2 The night was punctured with some class, some quiet desperation and surprise – but Crystal Palace will have to negotiate the Uefa Conference League playoffs, after a 2-2 draw against KuPS Kuopio. Palace almost paid for long spells of going through the motions - albeit with a starting side which was largely an unfamiliar one – but they did eventually salvage a point. It is, though, insuffi

Post-match reflections from Oli : Picture by @YTJourno Oli Glasner said he took as much satisfaction from the performance against Man City on Sunday as in some games the Eagles have won this year - despite the 3-0 loss. Palace could have leapt up to fourth in the table with a win and their first-half performance suggested they might unseat the title chasers, as they did in May's FA Cup final. In the end, Erling Haaland's header gave Pep Guardiola's team a fortunate lead and

Selhurst setting : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Crystal Palace (0) 0 Manchester City (1) 3 Haaland 41, 89pen, Foden 69 The Eagles may have the eternal happy souvenir of that famous May day at Wembley against City, but haven't had too many fond memories to look back on against them at Selhurst in recent times. And so it continues. They could have leapt up to fourth in the table with a win over Pep Guardiola's men but, as against Man United in the last match, did not hav

Ready for the off at the Tallaght Stadium : Picture by David Rake Europa Conference League Shelbourne 0, Crystal Palace 3 The last thing Crystal Palace needed with a fixture pile-up such as theirs was two extra playoff games in the Europa Conference league but that grim possibility receded somewhat in Dublin last night. It was with a comprehensive victory over Shelbourne in the Tallaght Stadium that Palace moved tantalisingly to within a point of the top eight, which they sho
