Last weekend, Andros Townsend became the 378th player to play 200 Premier League games. It is an incredible achievement that shows his longevity in the league. He still has a long way to go before hitting game number 300, an achievement only met by 129 players.
When Townsend tweeted out the statistic, Eagles fans praised him. They are glad he hit the 200-mark while playing for their team.
Congratulations andros ??

Will Andros Townsend reach 300 Premier League games while wearing a Palace kit?
Yes
No
Others admit that he looks best in the red and blue colours of a Crystal Palace kit. We assume their flattery is an attempt to ensure the player never leaves the club. They would clearly like nothing more than to see him rack up as many Premier League appearances as possible while playing for the Eagles.
The Red n blue kit suits you best !!

What do we think?
The record set by Townsend, who is valued at £13.5 million (as per Transfermarkt), is an impressive one. Jamie Vardy, who is sitting at 199 Premier League appearances, could reach Townsend’s total next week. The Crystal Palace fans are clearly appreciative of Townsend’s service to the club, and are glad he achieved what he did while wearing their shirt.
