Oh dear. Palace’s 15-game unbeaten run came to an end as soon as I started blogging their results. I’m going to ignore the next game and see whether we start to win again. Come on Colin!

Charlton
We’re away at Charlton tonight. If I wasn’t otherwise occupied I might have gone; the Valley is only round the corner and I’ve never been. I like visiting other sides’ grounds – it reminds me how lucky I am to support a team in whose ground it will forever be the 1980s (I genuinely mean that). It goes without saying that we must win.
1-1
Well, a point’s a point.
Plus, the match report in the Guardian only talks about Crystal Palace. I’ve read plenty of write-ups of games where you’d do well to spot that Palace had even been there, so it’s gratifying to see that the reverse is also sometimes true. Sorry Southampton.
Southampton
Palace are at home to Southampton tomorrow. If I could sacrifice an animal to guarantee a win, I would. Our odds are much shorter than theirs, which is always cause for concern.
Southampton are one of the sides who we know we’re better than, but who are often, incomprehensibly, doing quite a lot better than we are. See also: Charlton, Norwich, Sheffield United, Ipswich, Leicester, various others (it depends on the time of day). To have them way down in fourteenth (that’s FOURTEENTH) while we’re in fifth (that’s FIFTH) puts a whole new slant on playing them.
Glad All Over
