Selhurst

And I think that's what hurt the most, I think, as, as a Brighton fan, watching those two games.

I went to Selhurst as well and just coming out of that game thinking it didn't really feel like that ever started.

You know, I think Palace had-

Mm-hmm

That's the game that gets me into the World Cup squad." And he said he was really pushing everyone at Arsenal for that game.

And so they gave him half an hour against Palace at Selhurst, which was obviously like a testimonial-

Yeah

... at that point.

like your home stadium.

I think I'd probably do Selhurst.

I'd probably do Selhurst because it's one of the last sort of rickety old stadiums.

I mean, they're rebuilding right now, so maybe it's not going to be the same.

I don't know, but...

The more I travel watching football, the more I realize how special Selhurst is and the sounds that we can create when we're really on it, but not always on it.

I know like pundits will say, oh, Selhurst Park, the atmosphere is amazing.

It's not amazing every week, but when it is amazing, it's like, it's like, wow, like hairs on the head, like...

Yeah.

That won't even fill Selhurst once the main stand's been done.

Fucking hell.

Or half.

Yeah, sorry.

You're welcome.

Especially as Danny Muñoz is returning to Selhurst this weekend, but more, more on him and his gnashers later.

[laughs] Do-- Well, right, we can't really talk about this too much, but Palace played a friendly against Bristol City last week.

It was a...

It was, like, Wednesday night at Selhurst under the lights.

We battered them, and that's the Man United that I spent all the '90s watching, being like-

Yeah, of course

We were actually playing this weekend, so next week we have to actually talk about Palace returning.

Joe, they did return to Selhurst this, this week with a sort of hastily arranged mid-season friendly against Bristol City, um, where Palace put out not a necessarily completely under-strength team, but it was certainly a sort of a mix of backups and a f- uh, a few kids on the bench.

Um, and they went down two-nil at home to Bristol City.

Now, we can talk about the game a little bit in a minute, but I, I, I tend to stay off Palace Twitter basically all the time, but it looked like there's a bit of a meltdown.

Um, that being said, y- y- Ugh Yeah, it's not great to have to sit and watch that for an hour and a half if you do, if you do go.

Uh, it's, you know, you're hoping maybe it's a, a way to...

You might have taken your, your children, someone that you, you know, a little soft entry into, uh, intro to Palace and Selhurst Park maybe if it's a bit more difficult to get a game, a, a league ticket, for example.

So yeah, it's not produced the goods in that respect.

Where is it?

Selhurst.

Selhurst.

Ah.

I'm a bit concerned on the basis of the fact that Oliver Glasner has had three weeks to prepare for this and despite, you know, all the people that wanna play it down and everything, he will view this as a huge game.

Is that because when we lived, before we lived where we are, or you and me live where you are now.

In Selhurst, there was that really nice engraver who was literally just down the road.

He was,

yeah.
