The first half was one of the worst 45 minutes of football in Premier League history. The pass completion rate was a meagre 72.8%, although it felt lower.
There were only two shots on target. The sun kept popping out from behind the clouds to take a look, and then going back in again, appalled.
And the really bad news for Crystal Palace is that, for them, that was the good bit. Newcastle were much improved after the break.
