Got my first fail today. Bloody American spelling!

I could be disastrously tempting fate here but I'd hope that Cucurella will be significantly better at stopping Olise cutting inside onto his left foot. I'd imagine he'd get more support too. It is very annoying that Palace seem to have hit with all their attacking signings this season -...

I liked this post: "I just had a look at our previous home game stas with them. Pre walkway, they brought anything from 600 to 800, post walkway 1,400 to 1.600. At the same time we were taking anything from 4k to 6k to there's depending on the allocation." Highlighting quite succinctly the...

Oh for sure. I'm not saying that Villa don't appear to be an enticing option, just that they aren't the most enticing option that he could be offered and that he'd be foolish to jump at it now if in 6 months or even 18 he could walk into pretty much any club in world football. Why go somewhere...

I'd be very surprised if Bissouma moved to Villa not because of any rose(blue) tinted specs but because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for him to do it. Undoubtedly he'll earn more but he'll undoubtedly earn more whichever club he moves to(or indeed if he stays with us). He'll be 26 in...

Was it a bus?

The Raiders v Chargers game is a classic. Watch the highlights before finding out the result if you can. Remarkable game.

In which case please don't resort to drink, it won't help and will most likely exacerbate things and may lead to further problems which will still be there whenever this current one is solved. I really would think about speaking to at least the girl who has also experienced the anti social...

On the off chance that you're not making a joke/flippant comment, please don't. Drinking a bottle of Whisky isn't going to help. Have you spoken to the other residents in your block? Four(or more) heads are better than one and it'll probably do you good to share your troubles with other...

Best live band still around and touring new music? Radiohead. Obviously. I'm going to stick up for Icy Gull here. I saw Coldplay at Glastonbury just before they released their debut album and again at Alexandra Palace when they were touring their second. Both times they were decent but...

I have bad memories of Fishersgate. The only time I've knowingly gone there was for an U-16 game. We got stuffed about 8-0. It's just a train station between somewhere and somewhere else isn't it?

your compensation is that I no longer play for Mile Oak. And haven't for quarter of a century. That should be sufficient recompense.

I only got 9 seasons at the Goldstone and most of those were, if we're being honest, pretty shit but reading this thread has made me realise there's still a treasure trove of games that can be considered form those years. To those not already mentioned I'd like to add the Orient 4-4 draw, the...

I've never been able to quite locate where/what Portslade actually is. I know it exists somewhere but assumed it was a suburb of Brighton or Hove rather than an actual town. But then I spent a year playing for Mile Oak and I still have no real idea where the **** that is either. For the...

Whilst I get there are no stupid questions in the sense that you only know what you know so asking about something you don't know is a valid and worthwhile question there are still moments that make you wonder. Situation 1: Whilst discussing WWII one person(a grown adult in their mid 20's) on...

It feels like a huge thing to step away from football when he's only 30 and still playing at the top level but at the end of the day it is only a game so good on him for making the decision if it's what's best for him. I hope it's nothing serious and he can move on and enjoy the rest of his...

The second angle is a thing of absolute beauty. I could watch that for days. Goalkeepers don't get the love they deserve. We remember the (rare) mistakes but forget the moment s of brilliance like this. This is as good as scoring.

Yep, penalty. I can see how the ref missed it in real time but once you go to the replay it's clear. It's actually an example of VAR working well. Luckily for us it worked out as DCL ballooned it off and over the bar.

Burn does seem to provoke extreme reactions. People seem to love him, then think he's the worst player, then love him again, then he's back to being the worst and so on it goes. I've always seen him as a solid squad player who when he has a bad day has a shocker. He's never deserved some of...
