Yes but the history of this fabulous old club, with its passionate local support and a shiny new stadium to move into (I am talking about Everton just in case you think I've completely lost the plot)

From recollection Dunk has admitted he was in the room, but not involved, but surely he could have stepped in. What about Biss who was under investigation but continued to be selected and played, like Arsenal did with Partey, but unlike the Red Mancs did with Greenwood. Shipperley is ex-Palace...

Unsurprisingly, I thought the opposite. Showed some nice touches, but was probably not selfish enough. Only real shot was the volley that went high and wide, but still better than the Geoff Thomas performance from a few years back, especially that shot...

So none of these players were actually connected to Palace when any of the activities took place? OK, but because they had Palace connections, lets call Palace out for it As long as we can apply the same logic to anyone associated with the Albion....

Been away for a couple of weeks, and noticed that this thread is starting to be a bit of a love in. Have to agree that the rivalry between the two clubs is just that, a rivalry, and its satisfying when both our teams give it to the big 6, by taking points off them. Of course the media focus on...

Have to agree that this fella is a low life. We all have different opinions on Liverpool, but whatever happened, 97 football fans lost their life after that game, and there is nothing to celebrate about that

What evidence are you looking for? I dont know, but I have a recollection at the time of a thread here discussing what hotels were being booked, in advance of the 2nd leg. Personally, dont blame anyone that did, as I would have probably done the same after the 1st leg, as I didnt give us a...

Why is it a disastrous release clause? Olise signed for another 4 years last summer, with an increased release clause. If we had not inserted a higher release clause, he would have been sold last summer, so we ended up with another year out of him I agree that its what the buyer is willing to...

Its not about Glen, who showed his class on each occasion he scored against the other team, more how the away fans celebrated when he was injured in the first game. That was fact, not spread on the internet. You keep banging on about a 4-1 win in a league game that ended with us finishing above...

Still hurts doesnt it :)

Was White worth more than £50 million, given Arsenal think he is currently the best defender in England? In my view, any player is only worth as much as a club is prepared to pay. We kept hold of Zaha by putting a price on him that no-one was prepared to pay

I dont think we would have been quite that good, but maybe as good as Brighton of 2 seasons ago

Interesting looking back to the start of the thread how it was called as a tough run of games with teams who all had something to play for. After those games, when we somehow managed to finish one place above you, it was because it was an easy run of games against teams who were on the beach...

Do you really think that Caciedo was worth 115 million? Or is it just fortunate that Chelski kept bidding until Uncle Tony said yes? What was ben White sold for?

Yes, only the top 2 clubs qualified for Europe, and when Liverpool finished 2nd, their additional 1 year ban was swiftly overturned, to stop Europe having to deal with Palace. Who knows what would have happened if we had qualified for Europe and been able to keep the team together

The fact that you brought up us being the first team to win a league game at the Amex and then the semi final shows how much it still hurts. What made the semi final win all the better was the arrogant way that so many Wembley hotels were booked in advance, and of course the reaction when Glen...

Wolves and West Ham did play each other, and Wolves won 3-1 And we should have been in Europe way before, back in 1991, when we finished 3rd in the top league, and only an about turn by Uefa stopped us taking part. Imagine that 3rd in the top flight and not qualifying for Europe, unlike...

It probably makes economic sense to us, as real estate in and around (even) Croydon will not be cheap so probably still a better option. The AW stand is limited I believe due to having to maintain sightlines for the residents of Park Road. I wouldnt say it is derelict, its just very cramped on...

Not sure about bravado @Peppermint Tea, but to answer your question, I think we will lose one of Eze and Guehi in this window, and my preference would be Guehi, as we managed OK without him for a larger chunk of the end of the season under Glasner. My comment was based on all the links to our...

Where's Eze going, and for how much? Last week it was Guehi. Maybe Wharton next week? Its great that I can get accurate updates on where our players are off to without having to look elsewhere.
