Football Daily | Wembley wins, Uefa blows and Eze: the bittersweet times of Crystal Palace

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!These are bittersweet days at Selhurst Park. Win a first major trophy? Yay! Get demoted from Bigger Vase to Tin Pot? Eeeek. Away day to Lausanne for an appeal to overturn the decision? Believe. Beat the league champions at Wembley? Life is beautiful and the sunshine will never leave us. Lose the appeal the very next day? Life is a cruel, unrelenting beast and we reside on a dying planet marching towards extinction. Now comes the news of Eberechi Eze’s departure to Arsenal, brutal even if an exit was expected, another example of the big boys nabbing from the Premier League’s middle class.What happened was extremely serious and extremely violent, something I’ve never encountered before. We had to take a decision because what happened went way beyond what is acceptable in a football club, as it would be in any organisation” – new season, same old combustible Marseille as chief suit chief Pablo Longoria confirms the England U21 player Jonathan Rowe and France midfielder Adrien Rabiot have both been transfer-listed following a furious bust-up after losing to Rennes.Fair play to Spurs. Always being criticised for being ‘Spursy’, they’re now taking Spursiness to a new level. Just when it seemed a deal for Eberechi Eze was in the bag, their north London neighbours enticed him to pop next door for tea, contract talks, and exceedingly good cakes. Why be Spursy on the pitch alone when you can dare to be Spursy off the field too? Audere est facere indeed” – Mark McFadden.Spurs have just realised that there are no Eze deals in football” – Krishna Moorthy.It was only when I saw the new OGC Nice third shirt yesterday that I noticed that their new sponsor is Robinhood, which ironically tends to prefer preventing money going from the rich to the poor (and yet another defeat for nominative determinism by the way). But, surely they’re missing a trick by not sponsoring Nottingham Forest instead? Or would that just be too obvious?” – Noble Francis.This is an extract from our daily football email … Football Daily.
