When Eagles Dare

This series dropped on Amazon prime yesterday and covers the season Crystal Palace went from staying up on the final day to winning the play off final the next season. We feature in episode one where we beat palace 4-1 at home and then sold them Yannick Bolassie 

Two things struck me watching it, firstly why it’s always clubs like palace who seem to be successful at this level when they aren’t any better run than the likes of us or Derby for example, and secondly their recruitment that summer their first priority seemed to be recruiting leaders and suddenly things like offering a contract to Danny Simpson makes more sense and we may see a couple more signings like that 

One word of warning, those allergic to Holloway might want to avoid it from episode 3 onwards

They’re a London club, so get all the best loans from the bigger clubs. That obviously helps...
