You could say the same about Grant and Livingstone and Khan. Although in the case of the latter, It was more a case of the majority disliking him and not bothering to vote.

But it was a story that hardly registers on the radar outside Scotland. Compared to other events yesterday, it pales into relative and boring insignificance.

The BBC is so painfully and sensitively PC that it goes out of its way to headline affairs in Scotland and Ireland before England. The weather forecast always starts with a sweep across NI and Scotland before a gradual descent down country before finally coming to rest at London and the SE.

No they wouldn't. People make the mistake of labelling them ' sleeping giants ' and just assume that massive injections of cash would immediately make them competitive at the highest level. They would have to spend years establishing their ' brand ' on a global basis against clubs who have had a...

You cannot say that for certain. Celtic had two European Cup Finals ( 67/70 ) but have failed to really threaten again since. There wasn't the big money gap between Scotland and England for nearly 30 years and yet Celtic and Rangers did little in Europe, despite playing to big crowds. Very good...

Just as I feared. The mighty Man U come to town and we behave like small time charlies again. Tacky and inappropriate. What the hell are we celebrating? It feels like we are greeting them in a friendly fashion, waving flags and offering encouragement. We need to show them that they are just...

Oh dear. Years of comfortable dominance have bred complacency and delusion. Their performances in Europe certainly back up his bold statement. I would imagine that they could survive in the PL but its not a guarantee. Look at the lower placed teams in England and they all ( on paper ) have more...

Amber thought she had the green light to carry on but read the signals wrongly.

No, dreading it. All the local United fans worming their way into the Amex. Bodies leaping off their seats in all parts of the ground if/when United score. Just gonna hate the whole bloody evening. In fact, I am seriously thinking of not going ( on second thoughts I might just bite my lip and...

Please, please offer me hope that if one of these other local clubs to yourselves ( and there are 13 league clubs nearer Palace than Brighton ) gain momentum, that you will switch your attentions back to them, rather than our little old club by the seaside, 50 miles from you and the rest of the...

Indeed. The goalposts have been irreversibly moved by a couple of slick Jewish boys in the late 80's, followed by certain billionaires who decided that football was a fun place to chuck millions at and then bask in the reflected glory.

Ah yes, the elite. Those with a sense of entitlement and a scant disregard for any club outside their clique. Those that are constantly in the spotlight and generating revenue from the whole universe rather than on a more localised level. Those that have created a ' them and us ' attitude...

Was also there with mates, standing side by side with the fans that Palace chose to reject ( I wonder why ) Fights broke out all around the ground. One of our party was floored by a big right hander, that he never saw coming. It was seriously scary and not to be recommended.

Tremendous achievement by Gareth Ainsworth and his team. They rely on loanees most of the time and big Akinfenwa has been injured. One of the best management jobs of the season.

Not on your Christmas Card list, then?

This is a fallacy that Farage only appeals to ' white British ' I have met many people of an ethnic background that agree with a lot of what he says. He tends to offend the white, liberal, chattering classes, those with National insecurity i.e we need Big Brother to protect us and those that are...

He has got exactly the same right to comment on the situation as everyone on here having their say.

Indeed. Unlike ourselves, who would now be contemplating Championship football had we started as poorly as Palace.

Very relaxed that we will no longer be helping to contribute toward the £1.3bn it costs to run the EU buildings, the 4000 civil servants, who all earn six figure salaries, the vast swathes of overpaid MEP's and the mind blowing levels of fraud and corruption, all stimulated by protectionism.

This belief can only come from the management. We go into too many away games with a " must not lose " or a " must not lose heavily " attitude. It curbs freedom, expression and individuality. You see us breaking forward but then the brakes go on, as if players are thinking..." oh, hang on...
