A history of protest. Football is more than 11 men kicking a ball around. At its best it is community, identity, belonging & tradition, but only if we keep it that way. Many of the games cornerstones were lost in this country long before the group started in 2005. (1/8)

The Richarlison-Van Dijk incident there has been a red card in Palace's games against United and Spurs recently just because the forward went down. Be honest and try to score and it's "good defending" by the player grappling the forward's shoulder

Really don't understand the outrage over this. Just a 19-year-old kid being a bit naive in a moment that felt consequential at the time.

I don't necessarily agree with the diagnosis that Palace's problems are down to no maverick-style, technically gifted players, but Glasner actually proves the point when he brings up the 57 goals season. He built a fun system designed to let Eze and Olise create chances.

Felt like Glasner took the handbrake off last night and it was reminiscent of the end of 2023-24 and the end of last season. I'm desperate to see more of Pino against teams who we'll counter-attack against and I think I'd start him in the second leg.

I was off social media a lot in the winter which is presumably why I missed that Raheem Sterling has been playing for Feyenoord since January?!
