I was sat in the home end last night and saw the save from the side of the goal. It was absolutely superb, one of best Ive seen. His distribution is now really good, he kicks and finds players almost every time last night. Also him and Dunk have a great understanding talking to each other all...

Springsteen has always left me cold. Far too overblown and histrionic for me. I once had an argument with a massive Springsteenfan who told me I didn't like him 'because I wasn't working class enough'. Although my favourite band is The Clash so maybe he had a point.

I've been re listening to Wild Beasts a lot in last few days and it's really grown on me so maybe it's a slow burner.

Not completely true. What about the Darlington night game in Nov 96 when the fans turned on Case and harangued him outside the ground after the game? Far worse atmosphere than this.

You obviously weren't at the Goldstone in 96/97 then...

Just to be clear I wasn't advocating it in my original post just wondering if it was an option. I have no idea how the coaching works but interesting to read a post from someone who sounds like he does and actually points to the problem being that Jones isn't being used enough.

Could this be an option? Get rid of Jones and get in a more experienced coach as his no 2. Given that it should have been Sammy Lee anyway, maybe the board might see this as the right move.

It's a stunning album. She's got a modern day Nina Simone quality, a very stripped down slightly jazzy album with some almost early massive attack feel for some of the tracks. It's on Spotify, well worth checking out particularly if you like jazz. Haven't heard of Fire Orchestra will give it a...

Unless Sami had already agreed to stay on and keep schtum until a replacement was in place. If the rumour about him already offering his resignation is true then this is a realistic possibility.

Mate of mine who was in the directors box at Fulham game said that Bloom and Barber were talking in the stands for over an hour after the match. Apparently Bloom goes to Australia after the Millwall game. So he reckoned Sami would be gone after Friday. Maybe as someone said he's agreed to stay...

Surely he has to go after this display whatever else happens in this game?

Didn't Bob Booker also caretaker manage us and take us on a losing run? Seem to remember a pretty bad 4-0 defeat at Brentford with him in charge.

So our current manager is neck and neck in a poll with Martin Hinshlewood on the worst manager in in the last 20 years (and a bit). Says it all.

Two votes for Coppell?? Are you insane? That has to be anti Palace rivalry taken to an extreme.

If you like jazz in a Kind of Blue era style then I can really reccomend the Matthew Hasall. Not going to change the jazz world but lovely modal album. I listened to Hot Dreams after reading your recommendation and it's really grown on me, excellent album.

Hinch. He was absolutely woeful and was shown up by Coppell who nearly kept us up with the same squad. Inept selections, terrible football and kept saying 'these are the most honest bunch of lads I've ever worked with'. He also turned down an offer from Arsenal to take Toure on loan according to...

Here's my albums of the year. Been a good year for British jazz so quite a bit of that in there. Surprised not to see any other lists have the Melanie de Baiso in there, it's my album of the year, lovely album. 1. Melanie De Baisio - No Deal 2. Matthew Hasall - When we were One 3.Kasai...

Out for me. It feels like its now a matter of time going by the reaction to Hyppia from the players at the end of the game and his post match interview. Bloom's no fool, I think it will be all over after Millwall.

Very much enjoying Goat's new album Commune. Strange mix of world music, beats and psychedelia but it works

My West Ham mate says that the WH board forced Allardyce to either accept Sheringham coming in or leave and that is what has made the difference this season, plus the signings. I still think had Sammy Lee not gone to Southampton we'd be in a very different position now. Hyppia must be regretting...
