He really smacks of "ooohh what am I like. I'm a right character." Which is literally the opposite of what I want from my goalkeeper. I want you to be the world's most BORING person. I want you to be delighted with safely catching a ball and rolling it out to someone 5 yards away. And on that...
Meh. Failed experiment. Not a crisis.
It does still bewilder me when managers still haven't figured out that ROUND THE SIDE is how you break down well organised defences.
There's no shame in one or two strikers waiting in the box and quick players going round the outside.
Ultimately it was a...
I appreciate it will be overshadowed but Palmer is key. He ALWAYS looks forward as a first pass and FIRES it into people's feet. Obviously tonight has been a struggle but he is the spark.
Yep. We go to football, sometimes 90 minutes of NOTHINGNESS, in anticipation of maybe that ONE moment of spontaneous elation......and now we need to wait for it to be ratified.

It's only football. Not life or death.
The palace goal? I'm over it. Again, It's only football
I'd rather have a more fun game of football that sometimes has errors.....compared to a worse experience which is still making errors despite taking hours to...
Surely, you must be able to look back at the hand of god nearly FOURTY years later and realise it's just a mad moment and has to be embraced for that. You can't be re-watching that now and get annoyed about it?
Football is panto. It's intrinsically silly.
None of our goals felt potentially problematic though.
However I absolutely don't go wild now the MOMENT I have any doubt about whether the goal was ok.
I now see goals as an application to score. We've put the ball in, now let's see what the officials say.
You hear it. Goal goes in and...
Potter will have a new job by end of November
This happens every year. A manager appears on MOTD, or The Overlap (normally an hour chat with Neville and co) and starts on the charm offensive.

I think he's played an...
