Were not one of the chosen few, who will have been on about half a dozen or more times before we get on TV

First game on Sky is Derby at home on December 2 .
seems like it's just the same bias towards the big teams in the championship as it is in the Premiership but even so you'ed think a London derby would be chosen for tv.

Woke up this morning feeling quite ill. Hopefully Palace can get me feeling a bit better again this afternoon.

Great weather though and sounds like it'll be a big crowd. Add that to the positive feeling after Tuesday and I'm quite excited about this one.

Hi there, may I just ask a friendly question, what is the feeling about Zaha from Palace fans? I keep hearing good things about him, does he have it in him to play in the Prem?

Zaha is already very good but he will be top class. he's got pace and skill and can finish. he and Jonathan Williams are our big 2 starlets and both will definitely go on to bigger things eventually. hopefully not for a while though yet!

Many thanks for the reply, it is good to hear of young talent on the way up. Good luck to him and of course your club for the future.

1-1 at half time with West Ham. a decent London derby so far.

full time: Palace 2-2 West Ham

a shame we couldn't hold on at 2-1 but it's a good point against a good side.

a well earned point against tough opposition... a draw was probably a fair result overall... and its another step in the right direction for us...

murray definitely seems to have settled in now and ambrose is gradually getting back to his best... its been a good week...

Yep, a nice way to end the week.

Good to see us match them and great seeing the likes of Williams happily battling their giant midfielders.

Pleased to have the break now though, gives some time for rest.

just makes a nice change that it was us scoring the late goal over all coming back twice from a goal down I've got to be happy with the point.

I can only echo what's already been said. A point each was a fair result.

We are definitely improving bit by bit under Dougie which is really pleasing. We've got a nice blend of youth and experience in the team and once the likes of Clyne and Marrow are back to full match fitness our squad is looking pretty good. Suddenly I look forward to every game now unlike much of the past couple of years.

I think Sky have something against us. We rarely get picked for live league games these days even when we get to play Millwall, Brighton or even your lot, Larry.
It was in one of the local papers. IIRC Palace complained to Sky about being the only Championship side not to have any TV games, worth about 100k to us.

As it says to the left, I don't like evening games, but earning that sort of money is, for us, not to be sniffed at.

If I were Dougie, I would have each of our up and coming players ponder this Wikipedia article:

I see the home game against Birmingham on the 19th December has been chosen for live coverage, too.


Jon Williams has been called up to the full Wales squad at 17!

unfortunately it looks like he'll go the same way as Kieran Djilali which would be a great shame.

Any of you guys coming to the Vic this weekend...have a good record against us at the best times (play-offs apart) so probably fancy your chances.

Ambrose is bound to score..a Charlton (SORRY!) friend use to say he only ever played well against us!

Least you should be able to see the whole game this time after the fog infested match last season.

I'll be there Mark. Looking forward to it. As you mention we have a pretty decent record at your place in recent years - something like 1 defeat in the last 7 visits. I still remember the 5-1 victory back in 2004 very well.

Hopefully it's a good game and we can continue our decent form.

Zaha and Easter with the goals. back to back away wins for the first time in 3 years! happy to see that the international break didn't interrupt our good form!

A very poor performance from us really..lacked any creative quality again apart from Kightly whilst Palace showed they had some.

Worrying times.

Good support from the Palace fans.
