Champions League - Europa League - Conference League

[Paplane]

I know I'm absolutely biased, but I believe our season was a more remarkable feat than the one Palace had, even though they won a trophy. WE deserve a prize greater than the Papa Johns Conference.

I get what you’re saying but it’s strays close to entitlement. Like Man Utd fans saying they should still be in Europe because they are a bigger club.
We had a fantastic effort but ultimately fell short. I do accept that fantastic effort was on a playing field far from level and thats the problem with the league.

I'll reply to everyone in one go.

If 65 points was good enough 8 of the past 10 seasons all that means is that 6 other clubs deserved it more who finished with more than 65 points.

If Palace lose this appeal then we get the spot and that's fine because it's gone to appeal but we don't deserve it and we would be lucky. It's definitely not something we are entitled to.

If the decision is upheld then it would be harsh on the Palace fans and first team set up ect but I agree the club would be at fault for their mismanagement.

But we would still be lucky to get the spot because we don't deserve it.

First thing first and thats Palace won the right to be in the Europa League THEN lost the right because they broke the rules and it was on them to rectify it before the date required it to be. So personally I don't feel sorry for them but perhaps a little bit for the players but not the higher management whos fault it was and now trying to blame everyone and its dog for ballsing up things.

Rules are rules so the place goes to the next placed team and it happens to be us so tough shit for Palace.

Bloody hope its the last but knowing the club we support doubt it will be !

And we get to celebrate (or not) CAS Decision Announcement day on Monday too!  :Funny:

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Our CEO will be all over this.

Good connections in UEFA too  :Funny:

But EM's connections in UEFA are even better   ::

I expect to see UEFA officials sailing around the Greek Islands onboard EM's superyacht in the coming weeks  :cool:

Rules are rules. Its just how you get round them that counts.

I'm usually one of the more optimistic on here but I think Palace are going to win their appeal. I don't know why - logic says that shouldn't be the case - but I think CAS are going to find some way of letting them win. Hope I'm wrong obviously.

Alternatively UEFA officials could rent one of Steve Parish's flats in Croydon.

It's not UEFA officials to worry about now though - it's the CAS arbitration panel.
