    [Albion] Bring on Everton!

    I'm excited as I've never seen us play them. I'm expecting a dull attritional Everton team as once again Ronald "he's going to flick one" Koeman attempts to go back to basics in an attempt to secure anything other than his p45.

    [Drinking] Friday night "No Saturday games in October" drinking thread

    A fantastic tanquery gin and tonics followed by a VAT of the local Vinho Verde here in Portugal. Fly back tomorrow night in time for the game - EasyJet permitting...

    Hope Powell Interview

    All very sound and reasoned arguments - a rarity for this place... I've tried to watch women's football, I applaud the nationwide increase in coverage and the move to a fully fledged professional league pyramid with nationwide teams but one thing still turns me off to it - the goalkeepers...

    [Food] Cheese on toast - grated or sliced cheese?

    Finally definitive confirmation that NSC is FULL of SLICES. It's the only way. My Mrs prefers grated cheese and is henceforth a heretic. Bloody grated? NAFF off.

    Matt Ryan and the international break

    I'm sure his diminutive stature means he'll actually fit on one of the first class flat beds so will be excellently rested in time for Sunday so in a word no it's not.

    Car insurance question (YAWN, sorry!)

    I've just passed my test - pathetic given my age I know - and the Mrs and I bought ourselves a low mileage A Class to potter around in. Two things: 1) how can one set of quotes from gocompare, including approx 50% the same companies, be some £400 higher than those from Moneysuoermarket...

    Palace Players, past or present, that you....like?

    Good shout. Clearly had quality beyond our embarrassment of midfield riches at the time (i'm looking at you Charlie QPR Oatway) and was gutted when his injury forced him to retire as a Championship midfield of Chippy and Roger would have been excellent.

    [Albion] Swansea tickets - what are you doing?

    Bought and not going. Obvs. I mean, come on, it's Wales *shudders*

    Man Utd Loyalty points confirmed

    This. Very frustrating. Now in third tier, would be in second otherwise. Sigh.

    We gave a very good account of ourselves...

    Yes I was there and neither looked disinterested. How many times do we need to be told that IB ISNT a pure out and out striker. He was playing a relatively alien role and taking one for the team.

    Newcastle v Liverpool

    Your point is? My point was that at home perhaps we might be allowed to play with a tad more freedom. There were two or three passages of play today where we moved back to front quicker and resulted in a forward running at them with pace and it rattled them. This is simply my point.

    Gooners Warned!

    Ok. But they do/have in the past. *shrug* Still, you know, I agreed with the sentiments.

    Newcastle v Liverpool

    We'll agree to disagree. I'm taking about the evidence of what I saw last season in the two games and so far this (based on higher exposure for both teams). They don't have much that is different or vastly superior to what we do on a technical or physical level.

    Newcastle v Liverpool

    Anyone watching this and thinking this is the way to take on the big teams at home? Yes it's Liverpool so their defence is shaky, yes they conceded a fantastic strike from one of the marquee players but they're not resting on their laurels and are moving forward with purpose and taking risks...

    Gooners Warned!

    My wife and her brother are Arsenal STH and they didn't receive texts.... ....but the sentiment is right and as you'll have now noticed having been there that it's the least hostile ground in the country. Not even pockets of partisan support.

    We gave a very good account of ourselves...

    I think that's incredibly harsh on them both. Brown coming back from injury and playing an isolated unfamiliar role with little to no practice. Izqueirdo clearly having been given a much more defensive duty than he'd be used to, wasn't exactly prowling in their half off the shoulder of their...
