‘Singing In The Rain’ – Crystal Palace v QPR
Strange how the walk back to Thornton Heath in the pouring rain after didn’t feel so arduous as expected, when Palace had seemingly nicked a point right at the death. I was almost skipping at one point with a grin like the Cheshire Cats’ in Alices’ Adventures. And that obviously was due to Heidar Helguson’s Continue reading
