Aah...that brings back memories...racing up the Seven Sisters Road with a baying mob in pursuit....shoppers parting like the Red Sea....that frisson of fear and excitement. Wonder if the local police have changed much these days?

No...he wouldn't.

No way Pards is going at this stage of the season. Ashley doesn't want to threaten the top six and all the extra investment that demands. He is biding his time and is happy with Newcastle surviving in the PL....just so long as they don't get relegated. If he starts getting worried about their...

Cobham....stretching the area around Croydon a bit...got to be nearly 20 miles!

Quite. All older Palace and Millwall fans know the history and who the real rivals have always been. Not an artificially created situation in the tinderbox seventies. A lot of BHA fans refuse to accept the fact that were are naturally neutral and to be fair know nothing different.

Thats because the teams are so far apart, its the only name they can come up with. FFS...South Coast club bordering the sea v SE London club, stones throw from Millwall and Charlton. Its laughable its even called a derby!

Quite. CMS was unmarked, in a central position. It was a simple tap-in to win us the game. Bennett had all the time in the world to drill it in hard and low. The full-back ( and thats being kind! ) totally overhit the cross, blasting it high across the face of goal and then spent some time with...

Croydon is an urban sprawl but immediately around it are some very pleasant and expensive areas. Addiscombe, Shirley, Sanderstead, Whitgift. Purley, Woodcote etc. Croydon central is not very desirable. Some of the fringe areas are.

If you are about to push one out and feel rather embarrassed about the sound effects, wait for someone to leave the cubicle or come in the toilet for a pee. As soon as the hand-dryer goes on, thats your cue. Blast away like mad. Things that drive me mad... 1) Drips left all over the seat. 2) No...

If you leave out McCourt you have absolutely no creativity apart from the moment from Tex. Crofts and JFC can't conjure up anything.

This is a load of bunkum. Charlie George was nowhere near Brighton. Terrific player. Saw him get a hattrick for Derby v Real Madrid. He was unstoppable that night. The winning goal in the 71 Cup Final for Arsenal. Thunderous shot past Clemence and the ' flat on the back ' celebration. Local boy...

Went to an old school reunion when we had all reached 50...so most there I had not seen for 30+ years.....observations.... 1) Some had not moved away from the area, kept in touch and were in a comfortable gaggle, eyeing everyone who came in and saying.." who's that " 2) Some of us were wandering...

Bloody hell...did he? Did Kuipers get sent off when conceding a pen and Smith then came on and saved it ? ( All a bit of a blur to me, Im afraid )

Fans should never forget the amazing turnaround he managed at the end of 2008/09. He only came into the job in March, when Adams had all but relegated us. With six games to go it still looked almost impossible but he conjured up 16 points from those matches. He was a little bit unlucky at the...

When these players were prolific at other clubs there was a reason for it. Style of play, support players around them etc. Zamora had an almost telepathic partnership with Watson, particularly from set piece situations. Leon Knight got stacks of goals when he had big target men around him e.g...

Quite. If you watch football highlights every weekend you will see a high proportion of managers shaking hands with their oppo's and then disappearing down the tunnel. Personally, I don't give a jot whether the manager claps or not. Some fans seem to regard it as a given to receive a clap but I...

For those accusing me of re-writing history, I would just like to repeat some facts that came from within Reading FC and from someone in a senior position, who knew exactly what went on. Poyet was in talks with Reading on more than one occasion ( approx two months before the season end ) He...

So having private discussions with Reading FC, whilst his own club was in the midst of a play-off campaign and facing its biggest challenge for years was not doing anything wrong. Armed with an offer on the table from Reading, he then went back to the board and used it as leverage to try and get...

Like all fads, tattooes are in fashion at present but like all fashions their popularity will wane and hundreds of thousands will be left with reminders of how they got swept up, lemming-like, in the rush to be ' inked ' Unlike hair styles or clothing, tattooes are a fashion not easily...

It would certainly be a boost if we had a local boy made good. I suppose the nearest we had was Adam Virgo ( who was a defender and striker rolled into one and was sold for £1.5m. Adrian Thorne, Eric Whittington, Richard Tiltman, Jake Robinson, Joe Gatting etc....all of them never quite settled...
