    I think beaky is kidding himself if he thinks UEFA were only going to uphold the rules as someone was bothered by them.

    Did we complain about the Irish club (Drogheda?) as well?

  • 16 Jul 2025, 10:16 p.m.

    The reverse of that, who wrote the equivalent letter to get UEFA to throw them out?

  • 16 Jul 2025, 10:26 p.m.

    You have to at least admire Parish's candour. To say that they expect to have only one shot at the Lofty heights of the Europa Cup in 164 years. For a competition only created in 2009, that means they are meticulously planning to be shit for another 148 years.

    Exactly. Parish is clearly spinning (very successfully) to deflect the fact there's been an almighty administrative clanger in SE19. It's astonishing how far fans will reach to convince themselves their beloved club has done no wrong. I can well imagine swathes of our lot doing the same in the circumstances.

    But do Palace fans really, I mean really, think UEFA has a single fuck to give about what Forest think on this (or any) matter?

    Shit. Just listened to it. Lineker sucking serous Parish cock. And then being a total cunt about Forest. As is Parish. Fails to acknowledge his own incompetence.

    “People have to look at themselves”…. Perhaps stop being such an incompetent twat. Read your emails. Know the rules. What a total and utter prick.

    There's also a line in there where he talks about not understanding why the matter is being aired in public.

    He says this (apparently with a straight face) to Gary Lineker on a fucking podcast...

    Babelfish says: "People have to see things my way"

    Or we could just release the letter publicly.

    Dear UEFA,

    Steve Parish is a massive bellend.

    Yours

    EM.

    I do wish Guru would form some sort of an opinion sometimes.

  • 17 Jul 2025, 7:43 a.m.

    Lacks a "pass it on" after "bellend" but otherwise well articulated.

  • 17 Jul 2025, 10:58 a.m.

    Also realise I wrote “Lineker sucking serous cock” as opposed to him “sucking serious cock” which is altogether more distasteful but somehow appropriate.

    Club confirms Hennessey will be staying on the coaching staff.

  • 17 Jul 2025, 5:37 p.m.

    It's interesting to see the response from neutral fans to Parrish blaming Forest on Lineker's podcast. Overwhelmingly the position seems to be "Marinakis is a cock but this is all Palace's fault and the deflection looks increasingly desperate and pathetic".

  • 17 Jul 2025, 5:41 p.m.

    Good. Because it only takes a couple of vocal knobends to make it look like there's a whole movement.
