Alright folks, today I figured I’d tackle something fun but seriously messy – putting together a clear timeline for Wolves vs. Crystal Palace. You know, those wins that stick in your craw and what’s coming down the pipe. Sounded easier than it turned out, lemme tell ya.
Where Things Started & The Headache Began
First off, I just sat down at my cluttered desk, cracked open the laptop, and punched “Wolves Crystal Palace past results” into the browser. Simple, right? Wrong. Google chucked mountains of stuff at me. News reports, fan forum rants, official club pages buried under tons of other info – total chaos. My eyes started glazing over after like 10 minutes.
So, I thought, “Alright buddy, get organized.” I fired up a blank spreadsheet. My plan was solid: one column for dates, one for who won, maybe the score, and where it happened. Easy peasy. Started filling it in, year by year.
The Nitty-Gritty of Digging
Then reality hit. Found this one match, January 2010 I think? Different sources screamed different things! One site said a scrappy 1-0 win for Palace, another insisted it was a boring 0-0 draw. Had to dive deeper, cross-checking lineups on fandom wikis and digging through old BBC match reports – felt like archaeology. Finally nailed it down. That kind of rubbish happened way more than I expected. Slogged through each major win I remembered fans buzzing about.
- That crazy 3-2 Wolves comeback at Selhurst Park in ’18? Yeah, finding the exact minute Adama Traoré scored the winner took ages.
- Palace’s 3-0 demolition at Molineux? Confirming it was Wilf Zaha on fire that day needed multiple sources.
Honest work, but man, it bugged my brain.
Spotting the Patterns (Kind Of)
After crunching all those numbers and dates, a couple of things kinda jumped out, but nothing super clear-cut. Seems like whoever plays at home gets a decent boost, but there’s no real rhythm or reason. Just pure, beautiful Premier League unpredictability. Makes trying to predict the future a fool’s game!
Then Came the Fixtures… Ugh
Thinking the future bit would be easier? Hah! Official PL schedule? Yeah, it gives you dates… sometimes. But TV companies? They love messing things up last minute for their broadcasts. Found the official date clash for next season. Went straight to the Premier League’s own site – that’s the source, right? Wrote it down proudly.
A week later? BAM! Sky Sports or BT decides it’s a perfect Saturday lunchtime kickoff instead. My nice, neat plan? Trashed. Now I gotta figure out how to keep this timeline updated without losing my marbles. Maybe setting calendar reminders? Feels like painting a fence while it’s raining.
Why Bother? The End Bit
So, after burning hours hunting down facts and dates, and realizing my fixture list might expire any minute, you ask if it was worth it? Honestly? Yeah, kinda. Seeing those big wins laid out, especially the nail-biters, reminds me why I love this stupid sport. Plus, it feels good having one place for it all. Now, if only mates wouldn’t just hit me up asking “when do they play next?” after I sweated bullets compiling this. Typical!
