#CPFC 0 - 2 Bristol City is Palace's first Home Friendly defeat to a lower-tier club since August 2009 (H Gillingham L 0-1).

(I believe) the #CPFC player who holds the club record (and quite possibly the world record) for most sisters married to players from one other club is Bert Gilboy who had three sisters who were all married to #THFC players, namely George Clawley, Jack Curtis and Sandy Brown.

Contrary to popular opinion, Brighton and Hove Albion's trophy cabinet is not, in fact, completely empty. Winning three Home matches was apparently considered such a huge achievement for Brighton that Palace awarded the club a cup. So that was kind. #CPFC #BHAFC October 1945

Now that the sequence over, I feel it's safe to mention that the recent sequence of 10 Premier League matches with #CPFC conceding two or more goals in every game was the worst such run in Palace history.

Due to the omission of the Europa League, the previous post about Walter Benitez needs correcting. My thanks to @hongkongharv.bsky.social for spotting the error. Benitez now leads in both categories. Top 10 #CPFC keepers with 10+ matches by Clean Sheet % and Average Goals Conceded Per 90 mins:

#CPFC has never (yet) won five consecutive Away games against one club. Palace is currently on a run of 4 against two clubs, one being Fulham... Quiz Time: Name the other. Clubs which Palace have beaten 4 times consecutively Away in the past: Southend United, Bury, Ipswich Town, Coventry City

#CPFC v Ipswich Town on Saturday was the first Premier League match in which Palace fielded a starting lineup with players from 10 different countries. Tyrick Mitchell and Adam Wharton (England) were the two players sharing a nationality.

In League matches, only twice before have #CPFC followed a 3:2 Away win with a 2:3 Home defeat. In the Southern League 1st Division, Palace won at Southampton and lost at Home to Luton in October 1914. In December 1987, Palace won at Ipswich on Boxing Day before losing to Reading 2 days later.

Alex Disasi (Chelsea) is the first #CPFC loan player to be sent off in a Home game. Gonzalo Sorondo (Internazionale) was sent off in a 2:2 PL Away Draw at West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday, 1 February 2005. Most recent: James Vaughan (Everton) in a 0:5 Away Championship loss at Derby in Sept 2010.

In 2024, #CPFC won one home match on a Saturday - 24 February, 3:0 v Burnley. It was Oliver Glasner's first match as Palace manager. Palace v Ipswich Town today is Palace's first Saturday Home match of 2026. The last Saturday Home win for Palace was on 1 November 2025 - v Brentford 2:0.

I've read that yesterday was the first time in PL history that left-backs have scored three goals for a team. No reason to doubt this, but for #CPFC it's not a club first as Dean Gordon scored all three goals in the Division One (2nd Tier) game at WBA on 23 Dec 1995 in another 3:2 away win.

Today was the 25th #CPFC match in which a substituted player and his replacement both scored, but the first where Palace trailed at halftime. Palace have won 22 of these matches, drawn one, and lost two.

The Palacetician @glad-all-over.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

The first match in #CPFC history where a substituted player and his replacement both scored was on Saturday, 25 September 1971 in a First Division Home game v Everton. Palace won 2:1 with goals from Ross Jenkins (26') and substitute Jim Scott (86') after Jenkins was stretchered off after 50 mins

The last time a #CPFC player scored two or more non-penalty goals in a Premier League Away match and Palace didn't win the match was on 20 November 2021. Christian Benteke scored twice in a 3:3 draw at Burnley. The only defeat was 2:3 at WBA on 27 February 2016 when Connor Wickham scored twice.

#CPFC have yet to trail at half-time in Premier League games at Fulham. 9 matches: 2:0 (1) 1:0 (4) 0:0 (1) 1:1 (3)

Since 1907, only one #CPFC manager has - for all matches, Home, Away, Neutral - averaged an attendance lower than 10,000. The highest average is Oliver Glasner's 31,782 very closely followed by Patrick Vieira on 31,779.

Derby County's David Ozoh holds the #CPFC record among players with 10+ appearances, for the highest average crowd played in front of - 36,425. França is currently second on 36,163. Chilwell is the leading current Palace player, in third place overall with 34,980.

I believe that Darío Osorio is third in the rankings of #CPFC players with the highest percentage of vowels in their commonly used name. Naouirou Ahamada and Iain Dowie lead the way with 66.7%, (tiebreaker is name length), with Darío Osorio posting a repectable 63.6%

I'm not sure why #CPFC didn't make a move for Shamrock Rovers player Goodness Ogbonna because, Honest-to-Goodness, that would have made a great quote.

The signing of Quinten Timber should silence those suggesting Steve Parish hasn't exactly been pulling up trees in this transfer window... He will be the first #CPFC player with a first name starting with a Q, the sixth with a Q in his name, and the second from the Netherlands.

The Palacetician @glad-all-over.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

David Ozoh owned the #CPFC record (tied with Lewis Grabban on 13) for the most substitute appearances without ever making a full appearance. He made one first-half appearance replacing Joel Ward at Manchester City at 0:1 after 34' on 16.Dec.2023 in a game which ended 2:2.

Daniel Muñoz was substitued 13 times in his 83 #CPFC PL full appearances. He was never the second player substituted, and was replaced by: Clyne (3), Mitchell (2), and one each by Sarr, Riad, Hughes, Ward, Kporha, França, Uche, and Khalaili.

Since Daniel Muñoz made his debut for #CPFC, the club has won one Premier League game without him. 2:1 Away Fulham 7.Dec.2025. PL games with Muñoz: W 30 D 27 L 26 Without Muñoz: W 1 D 3 L 7

Daniel Muñoz's 83 #CPFC PL appearances were all full, the most for any non-goalkeeper. Chris Armstrong and Gareth Southgate had 75, Maxence Lacroix 70. Dani's 1.41 points per game is the higest of any Palace player with more than 16 appearances.
