In further amusing news, it transpires that the player they've all been absolutely slating so far this season, Daichi Kamada, is the highest earner at the club, picking up £100,000 per week.
Was quite decent in Germany and is a Glasner signing but has failed miserably for Palace so far...
The good news for their fans is, they'll get to re-use the PARISH OUT YANKS OUT banners that they spent weeks waving back in February and March only to suddenly rediscover their love for the Palace board the moment they started beating a few teams who were already on the beach.
Every time I watch Ryan Yates play, I find myself wondering how on earth he gets paid to be a Premier League footballer. He really is absolute village. But runs around a lot and gets a few bookings for his "enthusiastic" tackling, so it seems the Forest fans love him. Dreadfully mediocre player.
Has been limping around with a groin injury since the summer, which requires surgery but Palace are too scared to put him in for it because they know how poor their midfield is without him.
Also, he's not been playing very well.
I landed back in the UK early this morning off an overnight flight from Bangkok so am feeling a tad jet lagged....dear God this match is not helping my attempts to push on through and stay awake until a normal-ish bedtime. Genuinely nodded off after half an hour or so. Woke up just before half...
