Surprised the semi final tickets haven’t sold out yet. Appreciate it’s a big expense to get there but hopefully it’ll mean some more fans will experience Palace away in Europe.. good luck to all those hoping to get a ticket today.. #cpfc

But Amorim was unable to get his players to play that system well and was unable to flex for the opposition- something Glasner obviously did. Just hope there is a good manager waiting in the wings and we don’t go through a period with no leadership

Thanks but all sorted (9000 points was good enough for away end ticket this time). Absolutely buzzing to go to a Palace European semi final..

Ticket day victory! Been unlucky in previous rounds bar Fredrikstad but ticket secured and flights and hotel now booked. Absolutely buzzing - a European semi final! #cpfc

Thanks I’ve got a few options lined up . Munich is a possibility but it’s pricey for the Thursday although come tomorrow I’m sure I’ll be grateful for what I can get.. 🤞Katowice rather than Krakow seems do-able

I’m not even booking Krakow until I know I can get a ticket. Appreciate I’ll have to go a roundabout route but while I may have done loads of research it’s ticket first for me.. can’t afford to spend potentially £500 to go to a bar even if it’s Palace playing..

I appreciate how Brazilian and Portuguese family names are constructed as I have Brazilian relatives. It’s whether you consider it as a compound surname I was wondering. Similarly Patrick van Aanholt is a Dutch compound surname. Anyway what hyphenated first names have played for Palace? JP..

Btw wouldn’t Matheus Franca de Oliveria count as a compound surname?

I do apologise I thought he was joined up.. unfortunately tonight suggested otherwise..

It would be good if he did!! Playing in a more natural position for him hopefully with JSL there to nod them in (we hope)

Interesting line up - big opportunity for Pino, Johnson and Strand-Larson to shine.. #cpfc

No panic on the streets of South London in April 2026 either

Absolutely. A few days ago I said I wasn’t bothered about the result tonight but now we’re here I want the win. Regardless of a preference for Forest to go down the relegation battle isn’t our concern and a good run could see us finish quite high..

Works very well for both clubs.. He clearly didn’t click at Villa and he is suiting Palace’s style of play. Personally I’d make the deal conditional on Villa knocking out Forest.. but think the deal is a certainty anyway

Hopefully Arsenal will have lost title before last game and both sides can play their u21s without any publicity or pressure. City game I’m less worried about as chances of injuries are less (less physical team) but still not great situation

Anyone know what our allocation in Krakow is likely to be and how that compares to previous rounds? #cpfc

I just hope he makes his mind up quickly. What we don’t want to happen, although probably will knowing Palace, is for us not to have appointed someone by 1st June at the very latest..

This is incorrect. Yellow cards do not carry over into semis (source: uefa website). 😄

I’ve just looked it up and Lee is correct .. uefa website says all yellow cards get wiped (“not carried forward”) after quarter finals so resting Wharton today looks a good move as another yellow on Thursday won’t matter.

It’s referring to the inter city gang a group of West Ham hooligans from the 70’s/80’s. Along with the Millwall flag they were trying to be threatening. The fact that it was lost on anyone under 50 shows that perhaps football really is in a better place than it used to be!!!

Or… Man City just chose to avoid the rules 🤔

If you’d offered me this position a few years ago along with the conference quarters and quality of the squad we’ve got I’d have bitten your hand off. Sky sports predict the safety line is 38 points, we’ve got 39 already.. Where it could go all wrong is the summer.. manager not appointed etc etc

Hope you’re right. The stadium capacity has been significantly reduced for building work

So club has known since October that the manager is leaving .. would it be asking too much for a) a decent manager b) the new manager to start on June 1st?

JSL yellow card was totally unjustified

Munoz of last season was certainly hugely important. He doesn’t seem to have had same incredible energy this season but hopefully he and that energy will return

Interesting line up. Are we finally prioritising the Conference League or is it just tactical versus a physical opponent? Anyhow as long as it’s not injury or illness that’s prompted it I’m happy with this for today! #cpfc

Have to say at away games such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, United the pre match build up is terrible due to really loud announcers trying to generate artificial excitement which is then followed by near silence (bar the away end) when the game starts.. Really don’t want this at Selhurst

Surprised, well actually I’m not given his must win every game approach, that Munoz isn’t saved for the more important Larnaca game..

And as for the lack of injury time….
