Any others you would like to remove from the Premier League? What makes Brentford and Fulham so special? Have you been to Craven Cottage? Are you likely to get into Brentford's new ground? Maybe there should be some new criteria for premier league membership. Shiny new ground, tiki taki football, neutral shirts, fans that dress in suits etc, and clap politely, wealthy owners. Any other suggestions?

You’re aware that Fulham are investing heavily in upgrading Craven Cottage, and Brentford have a brand new stadium, meanwhile your slum has continued to deteriorate.

Not been to the new Brentford yet, but I've been to Craven Cottage several times down the years, and its a thousand times better than the Benghazi-inspired fast-food-festooned hellhole that your slum club resides in. I'm not interested in the shiny corporate world you paint in your missive either, but neither am I fond of stepping back into 1975 when I go to a football match. Which is why my days of visiting the stinking landfill site that is Selhurst Park, with its shambling gaggle of sad coked-up goons posing as "ultras", are well and truly behind me now.
Who would want him?
Any team in this country with the ability to win a major trophy, already has better players, in this I include the traditional top four, Leicester,and Spurs. He doesn’t strike me as a Benitez type player, Arteta already has a show pony in Pepe, and him and Bielsa would be comedy gold. Villa is a possibility, unlikely, but still a possibility.
I can’t see any other team in England actually winning a trophy worth winning. So, he’d have to move abroad to win anything, I can’t see many teams paying his extortionate wages apart from the European super teams, but, as in this country, they have better options.

You're a touchy little soul... You're Palace, we're Brighton - why would we care about any of this this, once you, your handful of ultras and your embarrassing crap heap are gone? Maybe you don't get how a rivalry works - you seem to spend a lot of your time on here, and god knows you don't appear to have the nous for a career as a troll, son. Do you think we're all pals, really?

Shiny new (built in the 1800s) Craven Cottage ? The ground next to the river with loads of decent pubs within a short walk ? Griffin Park…..with a pub on each corner and concrete terraces (can’t comment on the new place yet obviously) ? Better than your shit-heap ? Yes, infinitely. Neutral shirts ? Nothing screams ‘neutral’ more than a sea of black hoodies, does it (tbf not worth buying colours if you’re going to **** off as soon as relegation happens and crowds drop back to 10k in the Championship) ? As regards wealthy owners, what’s that Harris bloke worth ?
Just 2 games gone and the 5 point difference seems to have got to our friends "'op North" . Long way to go yet.
They’re more engrossed in their goal of the month poll for August.

Not so much scraping the bottom of the barrel as taking an angle grinder to it.

I think that's a bit harsh. The thing is he's spent most of his time in the division championship, so its certainly a bit uninspiring despite him being pretty decent. It feels a bit like spending money for the sake of it. He'll do their dirty work but won't really improve the starting 11 much..

Wisely palace negotiated £4m of the £10m asked as success related top up payments, knowing full well they wont ever have to pay that

Odd-looking character, Hughes. As a fresh-faced England youth hopeful, he looked like a young Boris Johnson meets Dennis the Menace.
Now, at 26, he's turned into Albert Steptoe.

With you on that. Dislikeable player when at Derby. He's alright but not sure he makes Palace all that better.

He becomes their best technical midfielder according to some of their fans.
Imagine having Hughes as your best midfielder [emoji23][emoji23]
It’s massively annoying but you’ve got us there. That’s why my targets are for this season are (in order of priority)
1 Finish above you lot
2 Get to Christmas not looking over our shoulder too much
3 Hit 40 points nice and early and relax
4 Anything beyond that will be supremely funky
Maybe it is small club mentality (OK, it totally is) but even finishing 19th would be tolerable if the Croydon gang were 20th. I’m cautiously optimistic that our sights are a little higher this year but let’s not go mad.
