The audacity.

Has anyone less qualified to run a football club ever been so hell-bent on doing it over and over and over again? Someone needs to have a Lineker style word to his family and stop him from this madness. Leave the game alone, everyone thinks you’re an absolute twat.

Maybe you should realise that the release clause was agreed to by the player in exchange for a vastly improved weekly wage. It’s there because it represents his value to us.

So in essence, despite Lyon having more than €500m of debt, they’ve been given a two week window to get their house in order and inject further funds because French football is too much of a mess to contemplate a landscape where they’re not part of the top tier. It’s a farce.

29 days until domestic football returns to our lives. 😍

You can’t even begin to imagine the pain Diogo & Andre Jota’s family are going through. 28 and 26 years old, both in the prime of life, just married, young children. It’s just awful on every level. The ultimate reminder that life is the most fragile of things. RIP. 😢

I still have the feeling a scenario will be worked out which enables Lyon to be reinstated to Ligue 1, given their importance to the commercial appeal of the division. Maybe that’s just the hard-wired Palace pessimism in me.

There’s such a lack of logic to this. He’s about to win in straight sets, if both players are happy to carry on and he’s serving it out, just play one more game. I’m sure Hijikata himself isn’t over the moon about having to come back today to lose one game and go home.

Raith Rovers referring to Dunfermline simply as a “bottom half Championship club” in their statement about Dylan Easton’s new contract is the sort of pettiness we can all get behind.

I think a lot of Palace fans are now truly fatigued with this whole UEFA deliberation period. We’re waiting for Lyon’s appeal, that’s on the 10th. Even if UEFA let us in, other clubs could appeal that, we have zero clarity even though Textor has sold up at Palace and is no

I feel like the platform afforded to me by this podcast with Mark Chapman, Gabby Logan & Julien Laurens is the best way of getting it all across. 12 minutes until 30. 🫡 open.spotify.com/episode/4euOm8…

I’m not Norwegian, have absolutely no affiliation with the country whatsoever, don’t have a clue what a single word of that means but it was absolutely bloody lovely.

Genuinely, is the worst sponsor (aesthetically) in English football history? If not, what is?

The new Cádiz kit is a bit of me.

Mad that the sponsor were so insistent on having the logo in blue given direct feedback from Watford explaining their objections. Offering the shirt to fans with no sponsor at all is quality.

I don’t know why it’s taken 3 years for Thomas Partey to be charged; surely something this serious should be handled with as much haste as possible? Disgusting stuff.

A fantastic summary if you’re wondering why we’re STILL waiting on UEFA to make a decision.

Great to see this. Iconic.
