Why not. Liverpool have been using Saints as a feeder club for some time.

Because the whole PL market is vastly inflated, with the new tv deals. Clubs know that the 20 PL teams are awash with money and will hold out for what they can get. Ingoldstadt had every right to play hardball, in the face of losing their two best players to us. You either pay up or you don't...

a) I was stating the fact that, geographically, there are 13 league clubs nearer to Palace than us. I made no mention of rivalries, although there is clearly bad feeling between both Charlton and Millwall v Palace. b) Fans will argue til they are blue in the face as to whether it grew...

Ah those glorious colonial days, when many cricketers spent their formative years abroad, before coming to England to ply their trade. Dexter, Greig and Parker to name just three, close to home.

Although I pass through HH infrequently these days, I get the impression that these pavement cafes/bars are just about the only thing that the town has got going for it. So providing you reside in a docile, middle-class dormitory town in Mid Sussex, work in town and earn a decent salary and want...

His car was found abandoned in Newhaven. Beyond that, no-one knows.

But he didn't give his all, he wasn't able to. He allowed himself to be humiliated against a pretty ordinary player for two painful sets. He was reduced to playing like a park player, immobile and having to play little dolly shots. If he had called it a day, early in the fourth, he would have...

Fair play, he was clearly severely hampered and playing on one leg but why the hell didn't he call the trainer out? Looks suspiciously like they gambled on his fitness and knew that if he broke down, there was little they could do about it. Playing on for two sets may have done even more damage...

What I can never understand are fans who feel better when Palace have lost, at the same time as us. You hear them whooping and yelling as they come out of the Amex, as if it makes our defeat easier to bear. Nothing and I mean nothing, should ever lessen the feeling of us losing. I just assume...

" New age happy clappy "............what a load of baloney. How long have you been going to football? Did you grow up with all the shit that went with the 60's and 70's? The sickening gratuitous violence. The terrible facilities and general discomfort of going to football. Tightly packed...

So what if you are of a certain age that pre-dates the rivalry? What if you started out as an Albion fan and there was no animosity, no antagonism, no rivalry. All Albion fans of a certain age grew up realising that we were a neutral club. We had no natural rivals. Pompey was 50 odd miles away...

Indeed. Have faith in the management. There is at least one decent deal in the offing. Could be delivered by the weekend ( or so my clairvoyant tells me )

Well done that man.

In Britain, we live in the throwaway society. The attitutude prevails that it doesn't matter what is chucked on the ground, somebody will be paid to come along and clean it up. In towns and cities, you can place as many litter bins as you like, they will just be ignored. Between each one will be...

.....apart from seeing it live. It was an almost surreal experience. Sidders got the ball just inside their half and had men free either side. To the shock and bewilderment of all around me, he suddenly launched the ball airborne. I was stunned....voices around me said...." What is he doin...."...

I was genuinely upset when he died. A truly sad day. I felt part of my adolescence had died.

To his dying day, he regretted not being able to dribble the ball up to the goal line, sit on it and ' arse ' it over the line v Benfica, in the European Cup Final. The goalie recovered too quickly and George had to make sure of the goal. Would have made the greatest press photo of all time.

1) " Where have all the flowers gone " 2) " Its Over " 3) " Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye "

I saw both of them a lot and although it is difficult to compare two totally different types of player, I have to favour Best over Greaves. Greaves was a superb natural and clinical goalscorer. Quick feet. A supreme opportunist, who would pop the ball in the net, before you realised he had...

His genius should only ever be judged on the field of play, where he was unsurpassed. Quite simply, the most talented British footballer of all time. If you watched him in the flesh, as I did, you would gasp at his ability. He would be priceless today. Who are we to judge him off the field and...
