Esse only a sub in 2nd game. Still not forgiven for Anfield then lol

I understand fans being annoyed when young talent opts to leave to join a more prestigious club. But I've got no problem with it. The player leaving has always seen how ruthlessly clubs have released lots of their young peers. Therefore, clubs cannot complain when a young player is equally ruthless.

West Indies currently 14 for 6 vs Australia

1st half awful. 22 blokes who looked like they have never played football before.

It's horrible. So are socks for same reason but shorts are decent.

Winning the FA Cup used to mean qualification for the European Cup Winners Cup, which was the 3rd ranked European competition after the European and UEFA cups, so in one respect Palace are in the correct competition. But it still sticks in the throat.

As expected, Palace demoted to Conference league.

Not surprised at reports that Palace are prepared to let Imray leave. He's 22 later this month. Kphora is 3 years younger and more highly rated by Palace.

Forget Europe, Bognor Regis is nice in September.

Big Arch is decent but I'm still not forgiving UK McDonalds for removing Root Beer from the menu.

Hiram Boateng has signed for York City.

A lot of people seem confident that Palace will be allowed to play in Europa. I'm still not over the last minute stitch up in 1991 when Liverpool took Palace place in Europe so I'm fearing the worst. Always seems to be 1 rule for mega clubs & another for the rest.

Scott Flinders just been appointed as Barnsley goalkeeper coach

RIP Baldy. ❤️💙

And he's not gonna be a long term owner given his age. He's alredy older than average life expectancy for men in USA.

Tayo Adaramola in Beckenham High Street currently with a few mates.

Article in The Times this evening written by Matt Lawton & Martyn Zeigler saying that Textor is prepared to sell his Palace shares for £170m to enable Palace to play in Europa. The article mentions that Harris & Blitzer buying the shares would be the simplest solution.

India and India A practice in Beckenham. Playing each other at same venue in behind closed doors match in the coming days.

The only surprises for me in the Academy retained and released list are Marjoram released and Akinwale & Izquierdo staying. I guess they are staying as still under contract but I can't see much game time in U21s for either.

I was sharing what had been reported by the most prestigious newspaper in the UK. I pay to subscribe to it. Most people don't pay so can't access it. So when that newspaper has Palace content I share it. Fair play to u for proving they were inaccurate on a date but the gist was correct.

including is important word in that. Being there denotes that having majority of voting rights is NOT the only way that UEFA considers people can have control or influence! The other ways sadly include % ownership of club.

Half the fun about football is speculating about the future. Be it transfers, new managers, whether stay up or be relegated or stay down or be promoted etc. Letting things play out means no speculating which would mean end of a lot of football related conversations.

..he only has 25% vote on any big decisions. So, barring Lyon being banned for financial reasons, Palace playing in Europa will depend on what UEFA think of the voting rights set up at Palace.

...same comp the following season. This requirement was not met! Forest & Brighton ensured they met it in recent seasons. Article does say Palace would be ok if Lyon are banned from Europa for financial compliance reasons. Ziegler says Palace case is that Textor doesn't exercise control cos...

Martyn Ziegler, chief sports reporter for The Times, is usually reliable source, especially on football finance & football regulations. His article today says UEFA rules require separate ownership structures to be in place by 1st March for clubs such as Lyon & Palace to be able to play in the...

PSG can count themselves lucky that Palace arent in the champions league next season.

Allianz arena is best ground I've watched a match in. Yes, I've been to the news Spurs ground.

Spent half hour yesterday evening throwing my plastic garden chairs from one side of the lawn to the other. I'll keep practicing so that I'm an expert by 24th September.

revised timings
