Most of those at Hillsborough, who witnessed the events unfolding, close at hand, find it difficult to talk about. The situation was so frightening, that for many, self-preservation kicked in and sadly it resulted in the deaths of many youngsters who didn't have the strength to stay upright. To...
Pre Shankly and the start of the dynasty, Liverpool fans were almost entirely from their own city. With success, came widespread support, from all over the UK and Ireland. More fans wanting to get into games meant demand outstripped supply and thats when it started. Thats when Liverpool fans...
Drove home last night and heard one fan say on the radio......." its not a bad day, Palace lost "
Dear oh dear oh dear.....every sinew in my body was screaming with frustration....why can't some people forget about Crystal Palace for one tiny millisecond of their lives and concentrate on what...
Neither side played well enough for long enough to deserve to win. It was a poor first half from both teams. Our approach play was ok, crossing and shooting abysmal. We took the advantage early in the second half but couldn't hold it long enough. Pellegrini made two more quick changes (...
They have a company geared to start operations at the agreed date. This company was created some time ago, largely through private investment. They commissioned four cross-channel ferries, with a plan for four more by June 2019. The first four have all been sea-tested, all safety tests have...
Most of the ' lesser ' teams ( ' teams like Brighton ' ) cannot cope with our physicality at the Amex. Everton couldn't on Saturday and they are definitely one of the better ' lesser ' teams. We struggle away from home sometimes, when the home team ' puts it about ' It is really only the top...
The following stats are a clear indication where Huddersfield's problem lies.
Goals scored...........12 ( Lowest in PL )...............BHA.....22.
Shots........................227.......................................BHA......183
Shots on...
Seriously....how many Palace fans do you really know?.....2....3....5....100?
Given a straw poll across a decent cross-section and I think you'd find more for him than against. They were in disarray when he came in and he has steadied the ship. As someone else said, give him a decent front-man...
Christ.....they have just taken 3 points from City away and Chelsea at home ( 3 more than we did )....they are a decent, solid side, capable of moments of brilliance and in no danger of relegation. Another example of fans getting ahead of themselves. A year and a bit on from P7 L7 and they are...
Its work in progress.
We are clearly evolving as a side. The manager is learning as well. Sure, he has made some mistakes but he now has the framework to move forward. Our home ' run-in ' will ensure comfortable survival but we need to adopt a similar mentality away, as at home. Doesn't matter...
Hell, yes....the personification of smugness and arrogance. Makes no attempt at any balanced debate on his show. Fawns over anyone who wants to remain in the EU. Derides leavers as headbangers and idiots. Ferrari ( who precedes him ) clearly favours leaving but at least tries to have a balanced...
....or more recently....sitting in a temporary stand at Withdean, on a murky night, watching a terrible 0-0 v Tranmere, with just over 4,000 others. Ten years ago, that was our hard-core. The new experience has tapped into our fairly large catchment area. Charlton's influence through Kent and E...
Minor incident.
Lets enjoy the moment that one of Europe's best managers has seen some of the cream of the PL, reduced to hanging on against a more limited but hugely spirited side and has let his frustration spill over. We got to Emery and his players yesterday. They thought they could bully...
The referendum result was more than just a decision to leave the EU. It was a massive anti-establishment vote, just the same as Trump's win in the USA. For years, many people in this country, have watched politicians carry out their work with a callous disregard to the interests of their people...
