@will_gane @BobbyManzi None of what he said was hyperbolic. In that case journalists would just never say anything ever. Was a fair summary of what we all saw.

@BobbyManzi It doesn’t matter if anyone “found the game entertaining”. Thats secondary. If we had won and not been entertained, who cares? I thought we were good for 30 mins, looked dangerous on the break, but ultimately succumbed to City being better. Why does that demand so much hyperbole?

What an incredibly nauseating summary from a journalist. Does he even believe any of these statements

@DownToTen @CPFC The UEFA guide is pretty clear imo. Not sure it’s going to be too complicated.

There's been no useful information from @CPFC about purchase of tickets, just a tacked on UEFA guide that looks like it was made by a kid on Word doing GCSE IT. Misprint on the release of possibly the most important information release of the season. No communcation saying that

Not gonna lie, Palace Box Office have really fucked up the release and information of these tickets.

@Scrivum Yeah they’re popping up everywhere. Was a whole pile of the them in the bin at a bar in Florence which makes me think most palace fans know what to do when they see one.

This lot need to fuck off... #CPFC

I keep on thinking about all the Palace fans of around my age who went to school surrounded by United and Chelsea fans and got scoffed at for supporting us. This last 6 months has been like a fever dream for each and every one of us.

Oliver Glasner is not happy with the decision to sell Marc Guéhi. If you were to write a formula on how to piss off your club’s greatest manager, Steve Parish has certainly got some good ideas. #cpfc

Boyhood palace fan aswell. Let it all work out

This really annoyed me so i’ve made a video on it… #cpfc

The problem here - which helps explain the wider mass dissatisfaction with VAR - is the correct decision has been made but it feels wrong because a) the rule itself is niche and relatively insignificant, and b) this will never, and has never, been applied consistently.

At a time when we should be celebrating our victory in the Community Shield at Wembley, the decision by UEFA and followed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport shows that sporting merit is rendered meaningless. Full statement 👇 #CPFC

❌ "There's been no common sense applied" ❌ "One rule for the big clubs, one rule for those that aren't in the elite" @RorySmith on UEFA's decision to demote Crystal Palace to the Conference League 🗣️ #BBCFootball #CPFC

After years of dancing around the issue, UEFA have finally found the courage to punish breaches of multi-club ownership regulations. Unfortunately, they chose to sanction a club that isn’t even part of a multi-club ownership group.

Crystal Palace believe they have a very strong case when they appeal against UEFA’s decision to demote them from the Europa League at the Court of Arbitration for Sport tomorrow. Palace chairman Steve Parish has arrived here in Lausanne today and he is confident of victory. Palace see the hearing in Switzerland as their one and only shot at overturning what they believe is a completely unfair decision. Parish and Palace spent the early part of the summer working closely with UEFA in order to keep their Europa League place, but their lawyers are expected to take a much more aggressive and less conciliatory approach in the day-long hearing at CAS. They will argue that Palace have been singled out for unfair treatment and that UEFA treats clubs differently - depending on their wealth and influence - when it comes to applying its rules. Parish and a high-powered team of executives and senior lawyers will present Palace’s case at the hearing. Parish believes UEFA’s decision to demote Palace to the Conference League for allegedly breaking multi-club ownership rules is “one of the greatest injustices in the history of European football”. Palace are appealing against UEFA, Nottingham Forest and Lyon over UEFA’s decision to remove them from the Europa League. They want their place back at the expense of either Forest or Lyon. Palace were demoted by UEFA because US businessman John Textor owned significant stakes in Palace and Lyon and they both qualified for the Europa League. If Palace lose the appeal, Forest are in line to replace them in the competition. In the CAS hearing, Palace will argue: •UEFA has different rules for different clubs. Last season. Manchester City and Girona, who are both part of the City Football Group, played in the Champions League. Manchester United and Nice, who are run by investors and owners INEOS, played in the Europa League. In 2018, Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig were in the same Europa League group and played each other home and away. •They have never been run as part of a multi-club operation. Eagle Football had shares in Palace but the club is run by Parish. Textor became so frustrated with his lack of influence, he sold his stake to US businessman Woody Johnson last month. •Textor missed the 1 March deadline to place his Palace shares in a blind trust in order to get round UEFA’s rules because he was actively trying to sell his stake and could not afford to lose control of the process. •The European Clubs Association, which has close links to UEFA, advised its 700 members that the 1 March deadline was not set in stone and clubs had until 31 May to comply with the rules. Nottingham Forest received this advice but Palace did not because they are not members of the ECA. •Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis placed his shares in a blind trust when it appeared that Forest and his Greek club Olympiacos may both qualify for the Champions League. Records at Companies House show this was done on 30 April, almost two months after the 1 March deadline. •They have legal documents which say the real deadline to comply with the rules was 30 April and not 1 March. •UEFA sent updates about its multi-club ownership rules to info@cpfc.co.uk instead of senior club executives. Emails to Lyon were sent to the right email address. CAS are expected to announce their judgement on Monday and it remains to be seen whether Palace will consider suing Textor for damages if they lose their place in the Europa League. Playing in the third-tier Conference League instead of the second-tier Europa League could cost Palace as much as £20 million in lost revenue. If Palace lose the appeal, it would make it more difficult to keep players such as Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi and Jean-Philippe Mateta. They would also have to play Fredrikstad or Midtjylland in a two-legged Conference League play off later this month.

I feel the transfer window has gone, in the last 1-2 years, from something people enjoy following, to something of a prolonged chore. The level of gossip is suffocating and the sagas roll on for so long you begin to lose interest. Give me transfers out of nowhere all day long.

Crystal Palace FC deserves Europe.

You’ve got to feel for Crystal Palace fans. Reality is they have done nothing wrong and as is always the case, the fans who wait a lifetime for success, ultimately suffer.

So what we’ve learned this week is you can break every single rule in the book aside from an arbitrary deadline moved mid-season to enforce a workaround that’s in writing only. You can break PSR, every financial law you want, be in hundreds of millions of euros in debt and it’s fine.

Shameful decision by @UEFAcom The same week they fine Lyon for breaching economic regulations they allow them to compete in the Europa League but not us. A morally bankrupt organisation protecting the interests of a near financially bankrupt club #CPFC
