'It's Liverpool or nothing for Guehi'published at 08:52 13 August

Ultimately for Marc Guehi, it is Liverpool or nothing this summer.
That is not an ideal scenario for Crystal Palace, who were hoping for an auction. But the alternative is losing him for nothing next summer - when he may end up joining the Reds on a free transfer anyway.
While Palace ideally want £40m for Guehi, it may be that they get a deal worth about £35m plus add-ons.
The south London club have reluctantly engaged in talks to sell their captain and if all goes to plan, an agreement should follow in the coming days.
Palace chairman Steve Parish will sanction Guehi's sale through gritted teeth.
He would like the defender to stay and sign a new deal, but the likelihood of that is virtually non-existent.
Selling to Liverpool - or losing Guehi for nothing - now appear to be Palace's only options.
'The fear is the journey ends here'published at 15:45 12 August

When asked to set out the hopes and fears for Crystal Palace's 2025-26 season, it was a challenge. Hope feels like a sentiment related to a Palace of old, when goals were intangible rather than achievable.
It has been a frustrating summer away from actual football. One dominated by Uefa discourse and a failed Cas appeal demoting the team to the Conference League, but bookended by victorious trips to Wembley that washed all of that away.
Crystal Palace lifting both the FA Cup and the Community Shield in the space of 86 days is a scenario that was previously confined to idle daydreams or played out on Football Manager, rather than reality.
The same XI entered the pitch on Sunday against Liverpool that started against Manchester City in May. Two giants of the modern game as opposition - the former the best side in England, if not the world.
The two men who wore the captain's armband across the 90 minutes were names many expected to have left already. Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze have generated many column inches and much transfer speculation, with little outcome or substance to date.
The fear is the journey ends here. This isn't a tale of a squad that is on the verge of being special - it already is.
The failure would be not building on what Oliver Glasner has already constructed. The reinforcements needed are modest, at least without any key departures, and with the whole focus of the club back on footballing matters, this must be a priority.
As to the Conference League, that demotion may feel unjust or raise questions about Uefa's priorities. However, the best response for Palace is to be fuelled by that and go and win the whole thing.
'Sporting merit is rendered meaningless'published at 15:44 12 August

A reminder that earlier on Tuesday, Crystal Palace issued a strongly-worded statement on their demotion from the Europa League and failed appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
"The decision by Uefa and followed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport shows that sporting merit is rendered meaningless," Palace said.
"It appears that certain clubs, organisations and individuals have a unique privilege and power.
"This growing and unhealthy influence has shattered the hopes and dreams of Crystal Palace supporters, and does not bode well for aspirational teams all over Europe competing to progress when rules and sanctions are unevenly applied in the most flagrant way.
"Multi-club structures hide behind the charade of a 'blind trust' while clubs such as ours, who have no connection to another club whatsoever, are prevented from playing in the same competition.
"To compound the injustice, clubs that appear to have huge informal arrangements with each other are also allowed to participate and even possibly play against each other."
'They could win it if they keep their squad together'published at 08:10 12 August

Former England midfielder Izzy Christiansen says only time will tell whether Crystal Palace's demotion to the Conference League "will be a blessing in disguise".
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, Christiansen recognised the frustration after they lost their appeal, but said that "cannot move away from the fact Oliver Glasner has done a wonderful job" to get them this far.
"He has won two trophies and you would probably back them to compete into the late stages of the Conference League as well," said Christiansen. "They could win it if they keep their squad together.
"That then would then be a third consecutive trophy and that shows huge success for them as a club.
"The manager has been given time to build and I think they have the most exciting front three in the league when Jean-Philippe Mateta, Eberechi Eze and Ismaila Sarr are on form."
From a purely sporting perspective, there is far less prestige in playing in the Conference League compared with the Europa League - the competition Palace believed they had qualified for having won last season's FA Cup.
The counter argument is that Palace will stand a better chance of winning the Conference League. That may be the case, but that is not really the issue here.
Palace feel this is a huge miscarriage of justice, irrespective of their chances of winning a European trophy next season seemingly improved.
You also have to wonder how the decision may impact their plans between now and the close of the transfer window.
It is estimated that their European demotion could cost the Eagles in the region of £20m, a relatively large amount given the size of the club.
That may well now play a factor in attempting to sign their preferred targets and their leveraging power as they try to prevent key players from leaving. Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze are among those courting interest from the Premier League's top sides.
Guehi, who has less than a year left on his contract, is likely to be sold, with Liverpool among his suitors, while Eze has interest from Arsenal and Tottenham.
'Greed won and common sense lost' or 'rules are the rules'?published at 13:27 11 August

We asked for your views on the news Crystal Palace's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against their demotion from the Europa League has been dismissed.
Here are some of your comments:
Ahmed: We have been made a complete example of by the authorities. Now they will change the rules so this won't happen again but by that time it won't matter as the rich clubs will always be favoured and get away with it! This is the day that will be remembered that greed won and common sense lost. One rule for some and one rule for the rest of us. But, we are Palace and we keep on fighting!
Nick: How can a law court get it so wrong? It is known that Textor had no decisive influence at Palace. Lyon were reinstated after being demoted from Lique 1 in France so they could play in Europa League and stop Palace. People at Uefa should be very ashamed that they have acted against the best interests of the sport!
Victor: It is what it is. It was always a possibility that this would be the outcome. Now the club has to pick itself up, dust itself down and keep building for the future and the season ahead!
Andy: This has got to be on Parish as the buck stops with him! Poor planning and management of compliance. Arguments were poor and minimal sympathy to him! My sympathy goes out to the fans, players/coaching staff, everyone who works at Palace as the chairman let them down! Now Parish needs to back Glasner and get some signings in to support the extra games.
Warren: Absolute travesty. Proves that Palace have been unfairly treated as there was no sanction for Lyon. I would also suggest that it undermines the integrity and prestige of the oldest club competition in the world. Boils down to the fact that Lyon have a huge fanbase and Forest have a proven history - albeit many moons ago.
Chris: The rules are the rules - fair or unfair. I have supported Palace since I was seven in 1951 and they were in the Third Division South. Disappointed? Too right I am. Surprised? I am not.
Palace lose appeal - what is your reaction?published at 12:03 11 August

Crystal Palace have lost their appeal against being demoted from the Europa League and will play in the Conference League this season.
The ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) also means Nottingham Forest's spot in the Europa League is confirmed, having been promoted in the Eagles' place.
American businessman John Textor owned a 43% stake in the club until he sold it in July and is the majority owner of Lyon, who have also qualified for the Europa League.
In the ruling, Cas said:
Regulations are clear and do not provide flexibility to clubs that are non-compliant on the assessment date, as Palace claimed.
Textor still had decisive influence over both clubs at the time of Uefa's assessment date.
The panel also dismissed Palace's argument that they received unfair treatment in comparison to Nottingham Forest and Lyon.
Palace hero Devenny 'confident' he would convertpublished at 11:53 11 August

Devenny has won five caps for Northern Ireland
Crystal Palace's penalty hero Justin Devenny had no doubt he would convert the decisive spot-kick as the Eagles beat Liverpool to win the FA Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday.
The 21-year-old Northern Ireland international was introduced late in the game with the sides locked at 2-2 and had an opportunity to snatch the win in normal time but his effort from the edge of the box went just wide.
In the shootout, the teams were again level at 2-2 when the midfielder stepped up and found the top corner of goalkeeper Alisson's net to secure another piece of silverware for the London club, who won the FA Cup last season.
"It was a long walk up to the penalty spot, but I was confident and believed in myself," Devenny told BBC Sport after the game.
"The keeper was trying to take as long as he can for me to get set up, but I just waited, believed in myself, put the ball down and I knew where I was going - thankfully it went in.
"I had the chance in the game to win it, but I won it in the end, so I'm happy about that."
Scotland-born Devenny came through the youth system at Kilmarnock before a move to Airdrieonians preceded his switch to Crystal Palace in 2023.
Last season he featured 28 times for the Premier League outfit, putting his rapid rise down to work ethic and family support.
"If you put in that work, I believe anyone can get there," said Devenny who has been capped five times for Northern Ireland.
"My family have been there from the start. There's been a lot of sacrifices made by them, so for me to repay them is a special feeling."
'Do we have a trophy cabinet big enough?' - fans on Wembley joypublished at 08:38 11 August

We asked for your views on Crystal Palace beating Liverpool in the Community Shield on penalties.
Here are some of your comments:
Paul: This, for me, is the best Palace side I have seen since supporting them from 1977. What makes it special is that we now have three players who look like they will score regularly. On our day, we can beat anybody!
Andy: Palace deserved it based on the second half. Now the Palace hierarchy needs to go all in on Glasner. He is one of the best managers in football and Palace need to keep him.
Adrian: CrystalPalace are a force now. Get some more players and watch out.
Elias: In my opinion, Mateta is a better striker than Harry Kane; he has won two trophies with a mid-table team, while Harry can barely scrape onto the list of players with a competitive trophy, never mind that he was at Spurs and Bayern. So, when a man who is worth £15-20m is said to be 'not a quality player,' just think of this.
Mike: What a manager Oliver Glasner is. I only hope Parish supports him with the additional players he requires.
Kester: Forget the Uefa ruling, forget the future of Eze, Guehi, and the lack of transfer activity. The real issue is, do we have a trophy cabinet big enough?
Nick: Palace deserved to win after the second-half performance. Hopefully, an even bigger win on Monday with the Europa decision. Keep the main guys, and who knows what they can achieve this season.
Keeping key players is 'best outcome' for Palacepublished at 08:35 11 August

Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison believes keeping hold of key players is the "best outcome" for Crystal Palace in the transfer window.
The Eagles have made just two signings so far this summer, but Hutchison feels it is not just incomings that the club should focus on.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, Hutchison said: "Palace have had a really good [transfer] window [so far] in not allowing any of their big players to leave.
"What they've got to do now is convince them to stay. I'd like to think that Oliver Glasner has got the pulling power to say to his players and say to the likes of Marc Guehi that they should stay to help them in Europe for just one more year.
"Keeping hold of their best players would be the best outcome for them this transfer window".
Palace won a second trophy in three months at Wembley on Sunday, with a penalty shootout victory over champions Liverpool.
Glasner's side twice came from behind to take the match to spot kicks and Hutchison believes they deserved their victory.
"How can you not love Palace's story?" Hutchinson said.
"They are one of these teams that have had it hard for a long time and now they've got their second major trophy in a matter of months.
"They play and they run hard for their fans and they are a team I think that are hard not to like. The players work really hard for the badge on the front of the shirt and they thoroughly deserved their win."

Justin Devenny, wearing number 55, stepped up to write himself into Crystal Palace folklore
Amid the frenetic scenes at Wembley, an unlikely hero emerged for Crystal Palace - 21-year-old Northern Ireland international midfielder Justin Devenny.
Devenny was only introduced in second half stoppage time after Palace captain Marc Guehi went down with cramp, but volunteered for the penalty shoot-out.
And after stars like Mohamed Salah, Eberechi Eze and Alexis Mac Allister fluffed their lines, Devenny was nerveless in striking Palace's fifth, and winning, penalty.
"I am delighted Devenny took the decisive penalty," Palace manager Oliver Glasner told his post-match media conference.
"We did not talk about it before as you never know who will be on pitch. He volunteered, and said he would take fifth one. He was not scared."
Devenny made 23 Premier League appearances for Palace last season, and looks like he has the temperament needed to play a major role this campaign.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner spoke to TNT Sports after his side won the 2025 Community Shield.
On winning at Wembley again: "I like it [the feeling]. I have to give big credit to the players for this win today, we came back and were able to decide the game on penalties. We were on the same level as Liverpool and it was a big performance, I'm proud of the team."
On how his team have improved: "We know what we can do and how we can create chances. Things have developed over 18 months and the players are really starting to believe in what we are doing. I knew we could score at least two goals."
On signing new players: "I'm very happy with the squad because they just won another trophy. I see the number of games we have to play next season as a reward, we want to win something and we want the European football. We might miss Daichi Kamada - who got injured today - at Chelsea next week and it's times like this where we will assess our targets and find the right players."
On what he said at half-time: "I told the players to keep calm, I was proud of how they played. They were unlucky with the second goal. I knew if we stuck to the plan then we would get our chances and we always know if we take them we will win the game."
On Joel Ward: "We miss him a lot, he played more than 300 games in the Premier League [for Crystal Palace]. It's not just the player, it's a big personality in the dressing room that you can't replace."
On Justin Devenny's decisive penalty: "Justin came to me and said 'I'll take it, I'll take the last one'. I like him having this confidence and the determination to win us the game, he will play many minutes for us this season."
