Down in the smoke for a short visit and thought I’d stop off at the site of the Roman Bridge across the Thames #archaeology #history #London

D-Day 82, I’m stood at this small memorial plaque to Alan during the service. Thinking of him and the men of 1 East Riding Yeomanry that landed at Sword…

Steve Coppell 🤝 Crystal Palace

During his four spells as Palace manager, Sir Steve oversaw two promotions, our first appearance in an FA Cup Final, the highest finish in our history, a ZDS Cup win and our survival during administration. 👏

Exclusive @TheAthleticFC

FIFA make last-gasp change to World Cup stadium rules: BANNING fans from bringing refillable plastic bottles, so fans must buy water in stadia

As of May, empty bottles permitted so fans could refill amid heat concerns. Not now

Micro-scandals.

[Nick Budd @BuddNicholas]

This and their block booking of hotel rooms to drive prices up is another reason I lost interest in the World Cup a long time ago.

And the national team.

Club over country and domestic competition over this boring crap everyday of the week.

[Telegraph Football @TeleFootball]

Fifa has been accused of using unofficial resale websites to shift cut-price World Cup tickets in an effort to avoid refunding those who paid face value.

As @ben_rumsby explains, the claim emerged days after the governing body was subpoenaed by the New York and New Jersey attorney generals amid allegations supporters had been misled over seating plans at stadiums ⤵️

@CPFC_Tampa Thank you. I genuinely appreciate and enjoy your insights and thoughts re Palace

[Nick Budd @BuddNicholas]

@JulienPernici Actually, our whole ethos is we are a “people’s club”

Yes, the Premier League is incredibly wealthy, and we are not comfortable with that either.

But of most clubs in our league that have wealthy owners, we are regarded as a “genuine” club. Our Chairman is a boyhood fan.

[Brick Flair @ScottyStacks]

Our own fanbase needs this reality check too

The 3 trophies weren’t a stroke of luck or a Glasner miracle

They were the product of 16 yrs of steady building & careful planning

Which resulted in us attracting an elite manger & assembling a squad of players capable of greatness

[Nick Budd @BuddNicholas]

This emotional Austrian truly got us.

And added calm, direct, belief.

Used foundations like no one else. 🙌🏻

[Crystal Palace F.C. @CPFC]

Thank you for everything, Oliver Glasner ❤️💙

[Nick Budd @BuddNicholas]

As they’ve chosen money over morals.

That’s their choice.

But it tells everyone what they are about.

[Ian Herbert @ianherbs]

The breathtaking deception of Tonda Eckert, who pressured young staff to do his dirty work and flounced out of a press conference when challenged. Why on earth haven't Southampton sacked him already? https://t.co/xne0T6tZzm

[Nick Budd @BuddNicholas]

Accountability lol

[Dale Johnson @DaleJohnsonBBC]

Incredible lines in @danroan's exclusive interview with Dragan Solak:

🟥 Won't sack Eckert
🟥 Southampton "over-sentenced"
🟥 Diving worse than spying
🟥 Intern should have spoken up "stronger"
🟥 Blames intern for going late
🟥 Deflects initial lies

👇

[Nick Budd @BuddNicholas]

Wow again.

Blaming the intern.

That’s scummy.

[Dan Roan @danroan]

EXCLUSIVE:
“He should have expressed that stronger”

Southampton owner Dragan Solak tells me club’s analyst intern should have spoken out when he felt he was being wrongly pressured to spy on rivals’ training sessions ⬇️

[Nick Budd @BuddNicholas]

@EthanEvansSJ From the fact they are not going to sack your manager. It was highly likely a systemic practice as per the evidence.

Not sacking the instigator is an action that essentially morally condones the behaviour.

I understand why. They want promotion and have chosen that instead

[Nick Budd @BuddNicholas]

Wow.

They’ve truly embraced cheating over morals.

Fuck ‘em

[Dan Roan @danroan]

EXCLUSIVE
Southampton FC’s Serbian owner Dragan Solak tells me he will not sack Tonda Eckert over Spygate, despite the "mistake" the head coach made when authorising an espionage campaign against rival Championship clubs ⬇️
