5/3/2026
The European hangover hit hard at the Vitality Stadium as a weary Palace side fell to a 3-0 defeat against a high-flying Bournemouth. With one eye on the upcoming semi-final second leg, Oliver Glasner's heavily rotated squad struggled to find their rhythm against an Iraola side that has now stretched their unbeaten run to a record 15 matches. We're grading a difficult afternoon where individual errors and physical fatigue combined to halt the Eagles' recent momentum. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/holmesdaleradio.

5/2/2026
Palace head to the Vitality Stadium this Sunday for a clash of two sides with very different end-of-season motivations. While the Eagles are still riding the wave of their historic 3-1 midweek victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Conference League, they return to domestic action looking to bounce back from a tough afternoon at Anfield. Facing a Bournemouth side on a record-breaking 14-match unbeaten run, Oliver Glasner's men must balance their Premier League pride with the need to stay fresh for the second leg at Selhurst Park.

The Eagles' historic European odyssey reaches its penultimate chapter as they travel to Krakow, Poland, to face Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League Semi-Final. While the heavy defeat at Anfield was a sobering reminder of the squad's current physical strain, Oliver Glasner's men have proven to be a different beast in knockout football. They face a Shakhtar side boasting deep European pedigree and an Arda Turan-led squad that has been formidable in their temporary Polish home.

4/18/2026
History was made in Florence as Palace secured their first-ever major European semi-final berth. While the 2-1 loss on the night ended the unbeaten streak, the 4-2 aggregate victory tells the story of a team that did the hard work at Selhurst and showed incredible "South London grit" to survive a chaotic night at the Artemio Franchi. We're grading a performance defined by defensive defiance and a clinical early blow that took the air out of the Tuscan crowd. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/holmesdaleradio.

The Eagles head to the historic Stadio Artemio Franchi with one foot firmly in the Conference League Semi-Finals. Holding a commanding 3-0 lead from the first leg, Palace are just 90 minutes away from their first-ever major European semi-final. However, Oliver Glasner will be wary of complacency against a Fiorentina side renowned for their "remontada" spirit and a partisan home crowd that will be desperate to see an early breakthrough.

Crystal Palace 2 - 1 Newcastle United

4/12/2026
The Jean-Philippe Mateta redemption arc is officially nearly complete (perhaps). On an afternoon that looked destined for frustration, the Frenchman stepped off the bench to score two late goals-including a 94th-minute penalty- to secure a thrilling 2-1 comeback win over Newcastle. Despite William Osula giving a depleted Magpies side the lead against the run of play, Palace's persistence paid off, turning the stadium from a place of tension into a scene of pure jubilation.
