Despite the result, that was hands down one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had supporting Palace.
Amazing being in another country watching my team play in Europe. Hopefully more trips to come in 2026…

A solid win. Not at our best by any means but still had ample enough to beat a very poor Wolves side. Nketieh a real positive off the bench. Really hope he can stay fit & get a run now. Delighted for Pino. Wonderful strike. Onto Strasbourg 🔜

Great point given the circumstances. We’ve put a lot in the past week. We looked very tired in the final 30 minutes. Canvot outstanding in Guehi’s place. MOTM for me. What a player he is going to be. Mitchell & Lerma also excellent.

Genuinely one of the most enjoyable nights I’ve had at Selhurst. Proper European night. AZ Fans outstanding. And we had the kind of energy on the pitch & in the stands that was missing vs. Larnaca. Palace arrived in Europe last night. Roll on Strasbourg. UTP ❤️💙

If anyone has north of 11k points but isn’t going to Strasbourg for any reason and is happy for me to use their reference to purchase a ticket, it would be greatly appreciated 👍

We should have killed that off when we had the chance. Mateta miss changed the game. It rejuvenated them. Last 30 minutes we looked shattered. Oh well.

Absurd pricing from Palace for the three home Conference League games.

These are the greatest of times to be a Crystal Palace supporter. We’ve dreamt of a spell like this & long may it continue.

Think we probably did enough to win today but just lacked that bit of quality in the final third. But it’s hardly surprising when the different front three combinations we used today were all completely new. It will come as Pino & Uche settle into the system. Still unbeaten 🙌

The meltdown has started.
My word it’s going to be toxic next Saturday towards the directors box.

Selling Marc Guehi today will for me reaffirm why a change in ownership/leadership is needed at the football club. This summer has been a shambles off the pitch. Selling your captain & most important player on deadline with no adequate replacement in place would be utter negligence. Can’t happen.

I will reserve judgement until 7pm Monday but Steve Parish will deserve all the criticism coming his way if we don’t add a bare minimum 3 new players in next 48 hours (that’s not including Canvot).

I’m actually convinced now if these two things happen, Glasner resigns next Friday:
1) We sell Marc Guehi before Thursdays second leg
2) We then go onto lose the second leg & get knocked out
It will tip him over the edge.

I’m convinced they are holding off ‘boosting’ the squad until
we have won this two legged play off. It’s the only logical explanation at this stage. They’ll believe we have enough to cope with league & domestic cups and don’t want to risk bringing in additions until we’ve qualified for group stage.

Yep.
I’ve already accepted we’ll be in the Conference League.
A very harsh lesson needs to be learned here from the board.
Plan for all eventualities, especially when you are fortunate to have a manager of Glasners calibre. This whole situation could have been avoided.

CAS are lawyers.
Puling of the heart strings won't work.
They'll look purely at facts and make their decision based on physical evidence.
I think folks need to reconcile themselves with the almost certain outcome that they will uphold uefa's original rulling.

The most ridiculous part of all this is we are getting kick out of a competition for the upcoming 2025/2026 season due to having an owner who no longer owns any aspect of the football club. Make that make any sense.

Why on earth would we sell below the release clause?
Considering we got robbed last summer with the low release clause for Olise & are going to have to accept a low-ish fee for Guehi, I can’t see a situation where we would consider letting Ebs go for anything below his release clause.

🚨 Arsenal put Eberechi Eze high among options to bolster attack. No contact with #CPFC yet - unclear if needs exit but serious candidate + separate to striker & winger. #AFC would look to pay below release clause. #THFC not pursuing for now @TheAthleticFC
