#CRYSTALPALACE
Crystal Palace sacked manager Alan Pardew yesterday after a disastrous run of results. Sam Allardyce is already being tipped to replace him. @soccerdiva tweeted: “Crystal Palace should go after Gary Rowett. Look what Eddie Howe’s done for Bournemouth. Allardyce not answer. Plenty of time to save season.” @old_man_milford said: “That’s a bad mistake by Palace sacking Alan Pardew. And to talk to Sam Allardyce is beyond belief – he’s not fit nor proper.” @declangallen posted: “If Twitter trends are anything to go by, the next Crystal Palace manager will be either Allardyce, Prince Charles, or Martin Freeman.” @Chadrick_rose observed: “How are you going to sack Alan Pardew before Christmas. That’s savage from Crystal Palace.”
#BERLIN
The fingerprints of the Tunisian suspect hunted by German authorities were found in the cab of the truck that carried out the attack. @alauraschneider tweeted: “Majority of non-german media highlight right-wing protests in Berlin. Truth is: 130 right-wingers and 800 for tolerance and solidarity.” @Beltrew reported: “Spoke to father of Anis Amri – suspect in #Berlin massacre. He said his son was a drug-taking, drinking troublemaker radicalized in Europe.” @DVATW opined: “Teddy bears. Flowers. Hashtags. All irrelevant. You defeat the Jihad by fighting back. Close borders and deport as the first steps.”
#PRINCECHARLES
Prince Charles issued a warning about the dangers of populism on BBC Radio 4’s Thought For The Day. @Peston posted: “Important intervention by Prince Charles warning of return to hate and atrocities of 30s/40s in Thought for the Day, urging tolerance.” @Mickgreenhough said: “Prince Charles has spoken out about intolerance to minority religions. I take it he is referring to the slaughter of Christians.” @andrewlawrence noted: “To be fair to Prince Charles, they do only let you on Radio 4 if you’ve got something extremely Left wing to say.” @fellownerdling “Good on Prince Charles for saying what most sensible people have been saying for over a year now. Learn from history, don’t repeat it.”
