"If we lose test cricket, we will lose the cricket we truly know. History remembers legendary test careers not franchise triumphs. Cricket without Tests has no real meaning. Winning a T20 World Cup may put you at the centre of world cricket today, but whether that is truly good for the game remains open to debate.
Test cricket earned its name because it challenges every quality a player possesses, technique, patience, temperament,endurance and character. It is not simply about clearing the ropes for entertainment; It is about battling through pressure, adapting to conditions, and surviving the physical and mental demands of five intense days"
- Sir Ian Botham

Do people not know what Wembley means anymore?? For anyone outside of the premier league Wembley is not only a fans dream to go to but a Players dream to play at. Everyone deserves the chance to play there. That’s what make the play offs special. #playoffs #wembley

Play-offs are currently all at Wembley. Could they have been … Middlesbrough v Hull City - St James’s Park? Bolton v Stockport- Old Trafford? Salford v Notts County - Villa Park? Surely we need to think about distance travelled/environmental concerns @henrywinter

@BearCPFC It’ll be for sky.
Anyway so what, bit of class to help them celebrate.

@Connor13458431 I’m amazed people want to moan after the last year and a bit as I sit on a plane heading for a Euro final.

Sums up Selhurst this season doesnt it. Board has got everything wrong this season off the pitch
Chris 🏴🇮🇪🦅@BearCPFC
Are the speakers at Selhurst really blaring out North London Forever? This club needs a fucking reality check

@CR2SE25 These are great times, some of the seasons in my 50 plus years I’ve felt like that but not now!

@Lyncpfc That was down to sky apparently but didn’t really bother me, glad it wasn’t the usual 45 minute wait.

All I can hear is their fans, they should have done the trophy thing first and then got them out of there, ruined Glasner’s speech ffs
Five Year Plan 🦅🏆🏆@FYPFanzine
Glasner’s departing words to Palace fans.

@Suzb04 @ThePalaceWay @CEO4TAG Except for the last window and building a squad that won at least 2 trophies.
English

@ThePalaceWay Said the same thing. @CEO4TAG and Co will not spend any money, will sell all our best players for profit, and not replace them, but guess what we won the FA Cup so let's just not have any more aspirations? I have smelt the FA Cup literally and now I want more lol
English

Just me who doesn’t see why Iraola would leave Bournemouth to join us?
Bournemouth at least are definitely in the Europa League next season, and have owners that are more willing to spend.
What’s the selling point? London and culture?

@ThePalaceWay No manager would want to work under our owners @CEO4TAG knowing they never get backed properly and very late with signings. Always trust Steve but loosing OG is a massive blow

@bhafc_jay87 You’ll be favourites for it I’m sure and it’s great fun.
But it’s nothing compared to winning the FA Cup and community shield, that’s a different level.
English

@BeerFootyBirds Wrights credited Palace many many times. Can’t blame him for celebrating his other team winning the league.
English

@SimonHiggins3 None of those that played 45 minutes will 100% fully recover in 72 hours from playing in that heat. He’s played Russian roulette today…we’ll find out Wednesday if it’s killed our chance.
English

@Mark_CPFC Arsenal were fine, don’t blame them celebrating at all.
English

@PalaceReport @RyanTaylorSport I’d agree with SP but what a problem to have to choose!
English

🚨Oliver Glasner addressing Crystal Palace fans on the pitch: “Now I’m leaving, I don’t have to agree with the chairman.
“He said the best day was the FA Cup final but I don’t agree, the best day is still to come in Leipzig.”
