Seems amazing to me that we can say that (and I agree with you). Our first choice RWB and LWB out along with possible PoS CB and we still feel confident about our defence.

56 in June, so closer to 56th than 55th Birthday, so went for upper group. F@ck me.....56 in June. Dear God.

Thank you for that fatuous contribution. Of course it's a possibility, but that's not the question. It's who IS going down with. And of course it's a free country. I'm not trying to censor, just don't understand the logic. And none of the 12 attempting to explain their position (on a...

This weekend could have been far worse than it was. West Brom and Burnley both dropped two points. Fulham winning wasn't ideal, but they were playing the bottom team (who are now fully out of it) Saints got a good point, but only a point and are well in reach. And Newcastle lost, keeping them...

I am staggered, utterly befuddled, that any Brighton fan would genuinely think that we are the most likely side to get relegated with WBA and SU this season. Currently 12 people who appear to genuinely think, despite our game in hand, our points advantage and the relative form of these sides...

Like I said - I don;t know the dates!! :ban:

For those who don't know the dates (like me), our last game before the break is Southampton on the 13th March and the next game is Man United on 3rd April.

Sanchez White Dunk Burn Veltman Gross Bissouma Alzate Ali Mac Maupay Tross 3-4-3 (or 3-4-1-2 or even 5-2-3 at times, but so fluid in game it's hard to define) Personally, I'd love to see Karbonnet start but too risky - he'll come on I think.

Uckfield's very own Rag n Bone man on yesterday's Zoe Ball show (don't judge, it was Mrs CBH that was listening) signing a live cover of Shamia Twain's (don't judge etc) Still The One. It's a belter. Sadly only available on Sounds here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000sblb at 2 hours 16...

For example, Biss when he tried to clear the ball at the Amex and accidentally kicked that guy in the head. No intention, but very clearly a foul.

I don't buy that. Always is a long time! Here are the teams from the 1950/51 Division One (in order they finished). All familiar but lots of clubs there have gone South and some "fixtures" in the Big 6 missing. 10 or 20 or 30 years in the Top 10 and kids in 2050 will have no perception of us as...

At one point in the pre season it seemed they would ship out Giroud. Can you imagine what he would have done at the front of our team. Salary makes him seem very unlikely sadly.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. The production line of talent might have started spluttering in to action just at the moment that the price paid for talent is generally depressed. Still a good strategy, but may not be the massive money we have seen in the past.

I work with a Palace fan who reckons this will be our easiest three points of the season. He is cr@pping himself about Fulham.

Well, they aren't pie in the sky. I suspect we have been recruiting players with the promise of helping them develop into Prem players and then move on up to bigger clubs (ie bigger pay days etc). GP said as much on TalkSport today. If you stand in the way of too many of those players, you stand...

The one variable people are ignoring here is the player. If a player really wants to go, and particularly if they are getting sniffed at by a "big club" and being offered a big salary, they could probably agitate to go. It's not guaranteed to work, but if the player is handcuffed to the club...

can't find the link to the stat I wanted to share so removed the post, basically it shows that we pay £0 interest on debt compared to most other clubs where it is a burden.

With England's top clubs playing in Europe this week (and bleating about not being allowed to play in Germany, so using neutral grounds), to then turn round and say individual players can't go for Internationals would be open to accusations of hypocracy. As Blue3 said, the bigger question is...

And drop who from midfield?

The Welbeck stop was very good. As was the tip over from Trossard. (Edit: point already made above, but worth repeating)
