[QUOTE=fat old seagull;7588661 If winning was all that mattered to me I'd support Man Utd (some do, only for that reason) :shrug: Funny you should say that. Popped into Dick's bar pre match and thought I was in the Man Utd supporters club. Shrieking and shouting when they were...

This is the key to it.....length of journey. The Amex is a difficult ground to get away from and those who travel a decent distance ( I have a minimum two hour drive....longer if passengers with me ) don't particularly want an extended stay after the game. On Saturday, I left on 89 minutes...

Thank God you didn't have to live through the great depression, or the blitz, or rationing, or three day weeks with mountains of rotting garbage in the streets, rats running everywhere and warehouses full of rotting corpses that couldn't be buried. Civil unrest, strikes aplenty and anarchy on...

I watched a League Cup replay at the Goldstone v Ipswich when Kevin Beattie was incredible. He tried to play Brighton on his own from left back. He had everything. Power, pace...the lot. He took us on, again and again and again. Given a different lifestyle, I genuinely think he would have been...

....Jimmy Tarbuck ( whilst he was a redcoat at Butlins, Saltdean )

....the best footballer you never saw. The archetypal model pro.....unkempt, long hair, drug addict, piss artist, womaniser, chancer, loose cannon...a man who prepared for home games by drinking with the fans in the Spread Eagle outside Elm Park. At 2.45pm Charlie Hurley, the manager, used to...

I know I'm in the minority. The vast majority of lemmings got swept up in the Palace thing years ago and now haven't got the guts to admit that its past its sell-by date, false and pretty meaningless. We should be comfortable in our natural neutrality and not desperate to perpetuate something...

A war to end all wars.....except it wasn't. A second, even worse conflict followed, to again try and protect our democracy and prevent Germany from creating a European super empire, stretching from Britain to Russia. Thankfully, the millions and millions who died, didn't do so in vain, Germany...

We have no derby any season. Some of our fans have this ridiculous notion that a South London club, with 15 other teams nearer to them and even teams like Reading, Stevenage and Southend about the same distance away from Selhurst as us, is our derby game. Its utter nonsense. Its laughable...

Not aware that any keeper has attempted it in a competitive game since then ( hardly surprising ) but if there is any evidence, would love to see it.

Someone told me that there was a Hornet in Chichester.

I'm sure Sam will get them organised and trying to play to a system but sadly, he hasn't got the players to work with. The PL is stifling the development of the English player and we are going backwards. Most International teams putting men behind the ball will give us problems. We have no ball...

I have watched England for over 50 years and this is as ordinary as I have ever seen and that is putting it mildly. There is no class anywhere in the squad. No one that you could point a finger at and say he is a high class player. No real skill, no real creativity and no real hope for the future.

The painful inadequacies in technique, commonplace amongst current English players is all too evident. Poor first touch, overhit passes and crosses and inability to hold onto the ball. Over and over again. Its just embarrassing. Lallana and Sterling wouldn't score on the beach against five year...

Nothing will give me greater pleasure than to see this lot beaten 5-0. I dislike them with a passion. Their attitude and behaviour on the cricket field has been appalling for years. There are no depths of gamesmanship to which they won't descend. They have turned intimidation of umpires into an...

He does....years ago he was caught insider trading ,, when in the position of privileged information. Amazingly and shockingly, he is still in a position of public trust. The man is an obnoxious slimeball who should have been chucked out of politics years ago.

As a rough guide, most mobile vans that go around industrial estates and offices, turn over approx £250-£350 per day, on a gross profit of about 55-60%. Static roadside vans can take anything from £150 to £800 a day depending on footfall. I knew someone who took a food van to France for Le Mans...

The mistake that Dale Stephens made was to go onto a social media site and vent his frustration to all and sundry. However disappointed he felt at not achieving his desired move to a PL club, then and there was not the place to air his grievances. He is a contracted employee and has now let his...

There is a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth about the failure to add any more strikers to the squad but this is, frankly, overreaction. Just because we haven't brought anyone in before this window closed doesn't mean to say that CH won't arrange subsequent loan deals. He will be looking at...
