I'm clearly very biased but has there ever been a sub 6ft goalie as good as him?

:thumbsup:

I've said it elsewhere but Palace have made as big a mistake in letting him go as we did. This pleases me greatly.

Not sure that analogy works. Most Aston Martins are kept in garages and only ever brought out on special occasions.

I think you're talking about a slightly different scenario. All 3 of those managers have their limitations but they are proven in being able to rescue a seemingly doomed club from relegation and that was what I was specifically referring to.

Not quite true but I do agree with the general gist. Recently Duffy has been off form and Goldson has been brilliant in the chances offered yet today Hughton went with Duffy and got the decision spot on because Duffy was back to his best. It's as if Hughton knows more than us!

If we were just 1 goal up with 10 minutes to go then I am positive Ulloa would have come on but Hughton called it absolutely spot on with easing him in when we are comfortably ahead IMO.

I support Brighton and so do all my family and most of my mates.

The Baggies ARE doomed because there is something fundamentally rotten at the club at the moment. With that going on, there's no way that the team will play for each other. They need a Pulis or Dyche or Big Sam to pull off a recovery to save them. Instead they've got Pardew. They're toast.

I honestly think that your average Brighton fan is more discerning than you give them credit for. Saying that I was wishing for him to get MoM today but knew that a 2 goal scorer would get it every game.

Done.

He's pushing hard for my player of the season with performances like that. It's not just his defensive duties, it's the presence he gives us, he bullies opposition players, he rallies the team on and, a bit of a rarity with this side at times always looks to pass forward. I bloody love the bloke.

Not sure I agree. And my 18 year old son definitely doesn't. I just asked him how he feels about it and he said it's just not what he thinks football is all about. His words but he prefers the spontaneity of British football crowds and you definitely get better terrace banter. The lad talks...

I'd have been surprised given his age but it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he could have got a call up as a backup. Chelsea were seriously looking at him last year so he is (was) rated highly.

The thing is, Palace have needed to strengthen this position for at least 3 years now. The fact that they haven't is bordering on criminal neglect by their management team. Speroni is 38 now and he's certainly well past his best. Do Palace want to stay in the PL or what? Compare and contrast...

I loved Stockdale when he played for us too but he left for a huge pay rise at Brum and his weight gain since leaving rather suggests Stockdale isn't particularly committed and so he probably isn't too bothered about relegation.

D'oh! Sorry, I've been having an email exchange with a Tony Bowden today and think my brain is frazzled!

I'm not sure Bowden's politics were particularly dislikeable, he was never an idealogue and always considered the human element. He often teamed up with Frank Field in debates on benefits and social issues, much to the annoyance of the Thatcher Government. Regards Caroline Lucas, she does have...

I've a lot of time for him. He also played a big but largely unsung part in fighting racism in English football in the 80s. I only discovered recently that he's Jewish and gave himself a more Anglicised surname as he thought his real name might have held him back.

It's interesting how certain areas had and lost political allegiances. Back when Unionism was a much bigger issue in Liverpool, the Tories had strongholds in the city by virtue of their position on N.Ireland and throughout the history of Liverpool FC they were founded, owned and run by prominent...
