I'm curious to know too. A bookies in their town centre today had his odds in the window for 1st goalscorer so he must have been due to start come this morning I suppose ?

Doesn't mean anything. When you see odds for Albion scorers in Brighton bookies, they'll usually quote a price for all players, fit or injured. If somebody places a bet on a crock to score, the bookie isn't going to refuse your money.

They would even take a bet on Vincente.

Looking at some odds today before the game, there were plenty offering Billy Paynter as 1st goalscorer!

Ok, thanks. Clears that one up. Do you get your money back if the player doesn't feature in the game ? I suppose not ?

My Peterboro supporting mate keeps saying the Posh fans would love us to make an offer for Boyd because he's been crap for them this season.

Okay, I'll hold my hand up and admit my mistake. Sure I was told Forster was a Palace fan, but not that it matters. Doesn't always work to play for the side you support. Can be the same with managers in a funny sort of way. Manager who was a legend at one club becoming the same at another, e.g. Cloughie. As for Boyd, I was as surprised as everyone else when he wasn't in the starting line-up or subs bench, and rather glad.

What's being a fan of whatever club got to do with it? To me it's all about improving yourself, I'm a Brighton fan but if Barcelona came calling I might have to think about it! :D

See if they came calling for me, offering me £15,000 a week. I'd accept, then go on an own-goal scoring spree untill I'm dropped. Taking pride in the fact that I would be just wasting Palace's money for the length of my contract.

I'm a dick like that.

Listen to Ferguson's interview.

BBC Sport - Peterborough 1-2 Brighton

Boyd spent two days in hospital earlier in the week and was never going to be fit to play. Peterborough kept this secret from everyone.
