@glassford6815 @g_f_red @GarethDennis @ewangibbs There's plenty of us to go around without inventing more out of thin air

@TalkCPFC @palacewill This is true, and would be useful if the defining characteristic of English national identity wasn't "are rubbish at penalties"

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@CPFC_Tampa In that respect I'm trying to work out who next year's Riedewald will be (i.e. the important current player the new boss will inexplicably completely not fancy, named for Jairo who managed to be Roy's both times)

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@JxmesCPFC I'm sure the algorithm thinks I'm a West Ham fan because of the number of posts I read including the words "are racing to beat West Ham to the signature of"

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@jayforeman Soft, though I wonder if that may be because I'm exactly the right age that the first time I heard it said would have been referring to the NASA probe to Venus

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@LampLighterBot @DanNeidle 13th? This is Winchester, they'll pull Alfred The Great on your ass

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@ReubenPinder Now genuinely worried about his James Simpson-Daniel energy (as one of that vanishingly rare species, the Palace-Gloucester fan)

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@BobbyManzi An archetypal Palace performance then

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@braintree_ Kind of mine too (I mean, am torn between Fiorentina and Inter as the two clubs I've won titles with on Football Manager...)

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@Phillyconcarne As much as anything, when he came in I don't recall him being identified for that role and there's clearly still a level of reluctance to use him that way, despite as you say the talent and the physical skills being obvious

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@henryswainjourn I mean my first instinct was that Watford exist...

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@Kofie

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@S1apSh0es Was that built for horses or greyhounds?

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@henryswainjourn The promises bit is the fascinating one, got mentioned with Glasner as well and yet "Parish pledges to spend early, spend often" is easily in the Top 10 least credible things ever said by any human being

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@TalkCPFC Ambition is money. And not just this year, it's wages for years to come. I can understand why people just want the owners to turn the taps on from their own pockets, but we have no right to expect that and there are real dangers in doing so.

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@HLTCO Yup, that's the nail on the coffin moment I think, if he literally will not use the players we do have even when there's no other choice...

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@TalkCPFC Have said before the only way he was going to play the younger guys was if he was effing well made to, and he's managed to out-stubborn even that. Regrettably, needs to go before the players who are there get even more damaged by him

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@ReubenPinder Even more fundamental I'd say, it's not that we don't have the ball because other teams are better and stop us, we don't have the ball because we don't want the ball, it terrifies us (and this has been true for yonks, think about the spell after Punch scored in the 2016 final)

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@TalkCPFC To be fair, having a bad first touch is the single most consistent feature of every Palace team since we got back to the top flight

[Gareth Aubrey @gdauberius]

@VictoriaCoren Next year we need a proper Solicitors v Barristers match with @BarristerSecret in a wig and a lucha libre mask
