I hate to say it, but this is the problem with everyone I have ever met in the North Stand, the stand that is specifically there to drive that atmosphere and lead the chants. At least that's what they always say...
Every NS STH constantly bangs on about being special. Everyone else is not being...
Form a football perspective, my biggest fear is Bloom leaving. Palace barely register outside of the two games we play most seasons, if I'm really honest.
Well, quite. If that number is €20m, for a player that has scored 19 goals in 32 matches for a good side in a top 5 league, and they don't want to pay that, then I don't see us lowering our demands.
€20m for a player who scored 19, 27, 8 and 19 in his last four seasons and who is still only 27...
I look forward to VAR being scrapped so we can return to the debates after every mistake from referees about how we urgently need to bring in VAR.
Honestly though, if a referee and a VAR can look at a player being kicked over in the box with no contact of any kind on the ball and not give a...
Annoyingly, we've probably seen two of the best examples of headed goals in the Premier League this season (de Bruyne and Palmer) against us at the Amex.
Best game at the Amex is tough. Doncaster on the 1st game with such a late, late winner from our first ever £1m player in the 98th minute is hard to beat in my mind. I almost spontaneously combusted when Buckley scored his second.
In terms of the season, it was pretty meaningless other than...
He definitively hasn't been "poor" this season. Obviously, its far from a perfect system, but Dunk has a rating of 6.75 on WhoScored. That's vs. Stones (6.55), Konsa (6.65), Guehi (6.53).
He's not been at his usual high standards and certainly had a few poor games, but to say he's been poor...
Timing is a bit of a thing too. His star really started to rise during and after the 2022 World Cup. Although he didn't start any of the matches (subbed on at ~60mins in 3, HT v Spain) he had a big influence during his appearances and ended up being a huge player for us in the 6 months after...
Just to comment on the Greenwood case, whether it's proven or not, whether he's innocent or not, he comes with several suitcases worth of baggage that will only prove to be a distraction. You only have to look at the volume of discourse and disagreement on this thread to know that it's asking...
Eurgh... Author of the Express articles:
"Lefties aren't defending migrants they're defending a multi billion pound criminal empire" and
"600 feared dead - how many bodies does Left need to finally help stop people trafficking?"
She'll fit right in, I'm sure
After the absolute pasting we got from other fans, media and "football people" after Hughton got the sack, I'm never quick to judge what look like weird signings too harshly.
I think Hull could have reasonably expected to make the playoffs given their January signings, overall budget and league...
"Absolutely. Sick of all these experts out there, spouting facts and statistics that prove me wrong. I don't want to BE correct, I want to THINK I'm correct."
To be fair, he did get off to a good start. He scored 5 and assisted 4 in his first 10 games (W5, D2, L3). It just tailed off somewhat after...
I have to admit, I thought he'd gone all David Icke post retirement. Maybe he's taken off the tinfoil hat
What makes you so sure we'd be competing for a title? 19 out of the 24 Championship teams are relegated PL teams that didn't get promoted. This season, only mega-budget, PSR-busting Leicester are nailed on to be promoted.
They aren't all gone, they're on the Tory Meltdown thread. I suspect most Brexiters see it as "done", and all the problems we're seeing in this country are unrelated to Brexit and down to wokeness, migrants and Sadiq Khan.
