@ed_aarons Worst line up announcement ever. Over shouted from the start and by the time he got to no.5, had reached his maximum output and had scale back after. Visibly resembled a drunk racegoer roaring home his horse too early and seeing it get beat on the line. Please god never again

Not a fan of the new stadium announcer at Selhurst Park. Why does he need to be on the pitch?

@BarstewardsThe Looking forward to the viewing figures for this weeks Charlie’s Angels. Great to see a packed all weather gaff mid winter. Perhaps we have stumbled on how to save UK racing with CH star turn on the flat. Cross code action, like Hollyoaks merging with BRookside.

@Clapham_Grand Enough of the back 3 crab football, refusal to pass to lone wingers in space, preferring to pass into congested areas. Naive set up with one pass exposure to outnumbered break. It’s boring football. It’s not working. If we have identified an available manager get them in now.

@BarstewardsThe Had a look at the Invades website- Festival Wednesday Tatts tickets with extra Invades Tent thrown in for around £50 whilst JC sell for an extra £20 on top. Hmmm. At least you can get some value from them.

@FYPFanzine I ask again, as did in October, is Glasner a one trick pony? Not just the formation anymore but now it’s 90 games and off in a sulk.

Pleased Jordan's Cross unscathed after his tumble at the last, love this horse from a physical aspect and think he is in for a big winter, much better than his mark and more importantly has that warrior mentality.

@CPISAinfo Reads like being in the LH and Arthur Wait is a nightmare. Either someone’s in your seat, blocking your view or a steward is whilst doing nothing the rest of the time. If the Club response to Elvis was incredulous, can’t wait for the response about the announcer change.

The notes from our latest meeting are now available here cpisa.co.uk/notes-of-cpfc-…. Please feel free to share We’re sorry for the delay in publishing these notes, we‘ve been working with the club to agree some small revisions, this unfortunately coincided with the busiest time of year & has taken longer than usual. The notes run to 10 pages so we did cover a lot of issues. #CPFC

@FYPFanzine My prime concern is continuing with this limp form for the rest of the season. Teams who pick up few points in 2nd half of season tend to carry on and get relegated next season. See Wolves for this year. I would say we are 4 months / 16 games away from going down.

Been thinking about my response to yesterday since the game finished. I/we are all feeling a multitude of things right now. BUT May 17th 2025 can NEVER be taken from us and at some stage yesterday's result will become a pub quiz question. KTF please. ❤️💙

Steve Parish@CEO4TAG·
Come on Mr Manzi that’s cherry picking of a long ruling to create mischief and make it look like the club had no case. I am sure having diligently read the whole ruling you know that this is not in any way a fair reflection. I don’t think anyone doubts who makes decisions at the football club - indeed Bobby you generally blame me for pretty much every goal we concede 🤣, so it’s a particularly strange point for you to try to make. In the context of our case that employment contract is an irrelevant formality. I am one of four main owners and partners and I act as principle partner at the club and again as I am sure you will have read our case was based on three distinct things. Sporting Merit - the rule says that in the event of a conflict the club that takes precedence is the one that qualifies for the higher UCC comp on ‘Sporting Merit’. We say we won the FA cup and qualified directly for Europa League, as opposed to Lyon who qualified on sporting merit to the Conference League were reclassified into Europa League because PSG won the domestic cup but didn’t need the Europa place having already qualified for the Champions league. The court struggled to find a reason for this clause if it wasn’t to give a club in our situation precedence. Three judges on the panel and we lost this 2-1 - very much ‘hitting the bar’ if you like. We remain of the opinion that we are right on this point and one judge did concur (much as we didn’t want Lyon fans to lose out either ) Anti Trust (unequal treatment) - We knew, and the court and UEFA’s lawyers basically accepted, that other clubs had been given past the 1st March deadline to comply for various reasons, not least because there were conflicting communications about the date and it didn’t leave time to sell or even get clubs into trusts . We were also in turn told by the original panel chair, both on the record and informally, that if the the buyout of the shareholder in question was completed prior to the draw that would likely be a cure as clearly no distortion of the competition could then occur, especially as the process to sell had begun prior to March 1st. On this basis we spent the summer with Woody’s help completing a difficult and complex $200+ transaction only to still be removed. We strongly believe this was unequal treatment and that were we in any other court where competition law was properly applied we would have won this point. For technical reasons it’s hard for us to get UEFA outside of their own system and into a ‘higher’ court but I believe this will change over time (although not necessarily a good thing overall) . Decisive Influence - We never argued in court or publicly that JT had no ‘influence’, we argued that in reality myself and the exec team at the club made the decisions and in any event he was 1 of 4 votes so his vote wasn’t in any way decisive, this was backed up by my other partners with whom there is a long standing relationship and a great deal of trust and indeed JT’s own evidence and many public pronouncements that he felt he had no influence. The court sadly for us decided ‘any potential’ for influence is decisive 🤷‍♂️. As a footnote I would say The UEFA disciplinary and CAS appeal process has some benefits against say the full judicial system that the Premier League have saddled themselves with. It moves faster and allows the system to run effectively but in our view is too skewed towards expedience and as such can produce unfair outcomes and unequal treatment of some clubs. Apologies for the long post but this is detailed and important stuff, how clubs are treated in these process matters and can’t be dealt with in click bait - In the end we thank the judges for their time and we move forward ❤️💙

@FYPFanzine Glasner is a one trick pony and doesn’t have a plan B formation to turn to when his team gets tired. Discuss.

@FYPFanzine It’s the best trick we’ve ever had but it’s clear we need 2 starting XIs to take this through a Thursday - Sunday season. And perhaps we also need something a bit more pragmatic

@palarsebald Have you gone beyond the main island? Walk to the north and see the German quarter which looks totally different. Tram up to the Euro Parliament has surrounding roads designed as a UK garden city. And Wait till you get a train a few stops down to Colmar.

Strasbourg is a genuinely beautiful place. Up the conference league. When the fuck would you ever go to Strasbourg or Lublin? Or of course you could go to Amsterdam where no one’s ever been before
