After finishing 14th in the Premier League, Crystal Palace fans could do with a victory to celebrate and, courtesy of the club’s social media account, they’ve got one.
After the 2017 General Election resulted in the Conservatives falling short of a majority, Prime Minister Theresa May made her way to Buckingham Palace for an audience with the Queen.
So Laura Kuenssberg, political editor at the BBC, announced as much.
Just officially confirmed – she ll go to Palace at 1230

Nothing out of the ordinary there – but that’s when Crystal Palace got involved, with many retweets the result.
Please note: nothing's official until the club confirms. #CPFC ?? https://t.co/kZUXJ4KHaj

But she's a terrible right winger….
