A great substitution or a player who should have started? Agyemang at this tournament reminiscent of Cole Palmer at Euro 2024.

Steve Parish is right. UEFA demotion of Crystal Palace is terrible. Palace were never in multi-club ownership, Textor is selling and their only 'crime' is not using technicalities to game the system like others do. Punish the small, let the big do whatever - football's way.

Another way of looking at it is United sold two young players they spent time developing for £78m less than they are worth now (only two seasons later).

Really enjoyed this: Tom Werner giving a rare interview to @Lawton_Times. Still smiling at the Andy Kaufman story. 'Who's the biggest club?' is an old chestnut. Was always the first question to managers before LFC v MUFC games when I started in the NW.
