[Football] If Palace can't play in the Europa League

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

I've still got 75 Nigels on ignore.

@Harry Wilson's tackle you seem to have posted this from the wrong account

I can entertain discussions about whether Mitoma is better than Eze or vice-versa.

Michael Olise is so much better than either player that it is totally pointless discussing them. He is the best player to ever kick a ball for either club, and I suspect will have a trophy cabinet containing every league title in Europe and multiple Champions Leagues if his agents continue to advise him as well as they have done so far. A lot of Bayern fans already think he is the best player in a team that includes Harry Kane.

Olise was making a mockery of the Premier League before he left - hence why Bayern triggered his release clause in the first place. After an injury stricken season he returned in the new year and managed 10 goals and 6 assists in 14 starts.

Absolute bollocks…..
“Making a mockery of the Premier League”

Seriously…… another Palace fan, who doesn’t do seasons, only the convenient parts where a player/team turn up…..

Anonymous against Brighton in 5 games, presumably still living in Pervis’s pocket?

Edit - This smacks of the veteran Barcelona winger…… Wilfred something.

Shame you had to sell him to pay for your new stand really.

Oddly.....
I have none.
I suspect @Bozza 's acceptability bar is lower for our cup-winning chums,
so those that have failed to be exclude at source fail to trigger me
And (whisper it) at least one, the lad from south central England, is rather nice

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I like Mitoma, and he's certainly very talented. I'd have a hard time believing that he's more talented than Eberechi Eze though, never mind someone like the far superior Olise who ended the season for Bayern Munich with four consecutive MoM awards & and is already being hailed as one of the best players in the Bundesliga at 23.

If he is such a clearly superior footballer - why has he never managed to beat Eze's goal contributions in any of his seasons in the Premier League? Even when Eze was playing for a defensive manager like Hodgson and Mitoma was playing in a free-flowing De Zerbi team? Why can't he even beat the output of a player like Ismaila Sarr?

Christ.

If we masturbated as much about our former players who have done alright as you do,
we'd have no willies left

Of course we would swap. Everyone who has commented like that said they would. That is why I found it weird when it was said we were all misguided (or whatever the term was). We are the better team but they won a cup. As did spurs. That does not make them better than us. It shows they had quite a lot of stuff go their way and we didn’t. That is generally how cups work.

You'd paint your bed sheets, accept a drum, some teenage plum conducting the crowd, the cheesiest goal music and scorer announcements of any club and become a total dick for a year whilst watching football in a squalor....... Just to lift the FA Cup.

Thats the reality of swapping seasons!

A new twist...

"One potential route for Palace - who believe they have a strong case to avoid any sanction - could have been to drop into the Conference League. However, Danish outfit Brondby, owned by Palace co-owner David Blitzer, will be in line to take that slot.

The rules state that in multi-club groups the club which finished in a higher league position take precedent in such circumstances."

"(And Brighton could step in)"

Sure it wont happen, but it would be the single most funny thing ever in almost 50 years watching the Albion.

Even if we get knocked out at the qualification stage.

The Palace meltdown would be biblical.

This.

What a poorly run club.

But then again they are only 15 years old, so still learning ...

Huh? I guess league positions really do matter after all...

If only they had concentrated on their league form and not focused so much on the cup.

Keep on dreaming guys

The Brighton name drop is 100% in there to boost engagement. But with that said…..

Oh God could you imagine? Could you IMAGINE. COULD YOU f***ing IMAGINE!?!?111

I do find it interesting that UEFA have these rules if they're so easy to bypass. Renders them somewhat redundant

So easy, yet still too difficult for some clubs to grasp

Fingers crossed

Like Tottenham ?
If anyone at UEFA can explain why a team that finishes in 16/17 in the Premier League (take your pick) can win a tinpot cup and then, to insult the rest of Europe, by saying they qualify for the Champions League........................................

 

[burnee54]

As in today's Express. (yes I know)

But wouldn't that be nice

[nickbrighton]

I didnt think this would actually happen, but it is starting to gain traction now. I still think it unlikely but as others have said, the Palace meltdown would (quite rightly) be amazing.

Their win probably surprised them as much as anyone, and by the time they won it was past the deadline to sort this out. Palace fans will be apocalyptic, and then if we are offered their place you will hear the wails from here

Every season the "Champions" League drifts further and further away from the original concept of the "European Cup", which clubs qualified for if they were league champions of their country, whichever country that was. None of this coefficient b*llocks. Cup winners had their own tournament, everyone else had to make do with the Inter Cities Fairs Cup, which had nothing whatsoever to do with trains!!
