The #CPFC record for consecutive substitute appearances is 10.
Name the player.
Tied for second with 9 consecutive appearance as a substitute are Jeffrey Schlupp and Glenn Murray.
The first appearance for #CPFC at Wembley Stadium. April 1988. Not sure why my Sunday ticket is unused…
Eagles Club Membership Tickets for the first three Sunday Home matches in #CPFC history in February / March 1974 v Preston North End, Oxford United and Orient. 25,600 average attendance. Palace won the first two 2-0 and drew 0-0 with Orient.
The #CPFC record for being substituted in consecutive matches is 9, a record set last season by which Crystal Palace player?
When Anan Khalaili replaced Óscar Mingueza in the #CPFC v #THFC game on Saturday evening, he became the 2,000 Palace substitute in a top-tier League game.
In these matches, Jeffrey Schlupp (77) is the most subbed on Palace player, followed by Christian Benteke (48), Jaïro Riedewald (47) and Odsonne Édouard (40).
The most subbed off Palace player is James McArthur (84), followed by Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp (both on 73, and Eberechi Eze (60).
229 players have replaced 225 players with the most frequently occuring on/off pair Odsonne Édouard for Jean-Philippe Mateta (21). Mateta on for Édouard is second at 19.
Among current players, Will Hughes for Adam Wharton (14) is the leading swap.
It is highly probable that Saturday's game at #THFC will see spreadsheets tracking #CPFC substititions light up around the world.
A second substitution will be Palace's 2,000th in the top-tier of English Football (Division One / Premier League) while a third substitution will be the club's 5,000th in all major competitions (i.e. Premier League, Football League, Play-Off, FA Cup, League Cup, Full Members' Cup, UEFA and FA Community Shield matches.
Last night's 1-0 win was the fifth consecutive Away win at Fulham for #CPFC, a new club record.
Palace have have previously had runs of four consective wins at Bury, Coventry City, Ipswich Town, Southend United, and Oxford United with the latter currently active.
The next round of the Carabao (League Cup) v Sunderland will be the twelfth time that #CPFC will also play their opponents in either the previous or subsequent league game.
Queen's Park Rangers (1961), Arsenal (1970, 2024), Colchester (1975), Charlton Athletic (1985, 1993), Southampton (1990), Liverpool (1992), Sheffield Wednesday (2001), Middlesbrough (2011), and Manchester United (2023).
A Home League Cup match followed by an Away league game has only happened twice before, both against Charlton Athletic.
In 1985 Palace Drew in the Cup and Lost in the league, and in 1993 Palace won in the Cup and Drew in the League.
Palace have yet to win both matches and 2024 v Arsenal was the only time the club lost both matches.
#CPFC at Home in the Premier League in the past 12 months; 19 matches, 4 wins, 6 draws, 9 defeats, 18 goals scored, 28 goals conceded.
The 20 #CPFC managers with 9+ matches conceding the most goals per game:
#CPFC are currently on a streak of three matches where trailing at half-time.
The last time Palace trailed at the break in four or more consecutive matches in the same season was in July 2020 (COVID / no fans) when we trailed in five consecutive matches at HT.
In 'normal' times, the last such run of four+ matches, and the unwanted club record, was in September 2016 when Palace trailed at HT in eight consecutive matches (21.Sep to 19.Nov) under Alan Pardew who lasted five more matches before being replaced by Sam Allardyce.
Friday (11): A 24h 45m travel day that started with the M2 and M11 Metros in Istanbul, ended with a 2h 30m California Amtrak delayed by high tide conditions, with just a 13h 45m flight from IST to LAX in between. A ten hour time difference to adjust to before I fly over again on November 25th /26th for a brief seven week trip ( return 11.Jan) which happens to start with the #CPFC H v Real Sociedad game. Hoping to get to Białystok to make it 10 of 12 in Europe but the low allocation means a ticket might be a challenge. Back to the spreadsheet and statistics for now but what a great few days and thanks to @andy_puttock (aka the Man in Seat 61B) for the idea and all the effort he put into sorting out the trains. Total for the trip : 26 trains / metros in ten countries (USA, England, France, Italy, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Türkiye) not to mention a few trams, buses, taxis, Ubers, water taxis and a funicular. Missed out on taking a boat up the Bosporus (which I assumed was a euphemism when someone first mentioned it) but I will definitely be back to Istanbul (and Venice) with Mrs Palacestician before too long.
Thursday (10): No trains. 25,000 steps wandering around the Galata Tower, port, bridge, Egyptian Bazaar and Blue Mosque areas. A couple of beers at the Dubliner before a late evening stroll to watch Besiktas v #CPFC. Incredible atmosphere and decent game. An early morning stroll back up to Taksim Square for a few chicken wings and a final beer in Tukiye. What a great city Istanbul is.
Wednesday (9): Arrived Istanbul Halkali station 8am. Train into city centre and metro to Taksim Square. Deposited bags at Arts Hotel and walked to the Grand Bazaar with Mark. Rooftop beers and taxi back to Anfield Sports Bar to meet Joe and Steve. Power nap (wasn’t sure if it was 7pm or 7am) before going to Dubliner and Des’s Corner Pub and a late dinner with David. Istanbul is a great city and needs more than a couple of days.
