I was also fortunate enough to go to the return leg (with David Dryer travel). The Georgians treated us fantastically from the moment we arrived in Tbilisi, clapped our coaches on way to the stadium and also gave us a fantastic reception when we entered stadium. Tbilisi was a lovely place to visit b...

Not even got my Palace tickets yet. Any other AST still waiting ?

sorry if its been posted before. im sure its worth another go. wow,what a game .......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNlXqGSuITI Very thankful I grew up watching this football. Robust, full blooded tackling but no feigning injury, no going down at the merest hint of 'contact' and no girlie scr...

No backpass rule in those days. Probably the late, lamented obstruction in the box. Was Clive Thomas, the Mike Dean of his day, so naturally it was a contentious decision. If memory serves he gave the free kick for a high foot/knee as Parkesy jumped to collect a routine cross in a way he'd done hun...

Mugged by the worst Arsenal team for 30 years. But first a word on the over 10,000 empty seats at the Emirates yesterday. For a London Derby to lack sufficient significance to guarantee a full house should be of concern to both clubs and real confirmation of how supporters feel about what's being o...

I thought he was shocking. Was pretty telling when we were 1-0 down and had a chance to counter, and everyone charged forward, with Rice carrying the ball. Anderson was supposed to be his option to the left. Instead he just jogged along and let Rice - with 87 minutes of football in his legs and the...

Betfair currently 25/1.

So many ST holders teetering on the brink, I wonder what sort of gates we’ll get if we’re relegated? Certainly prices would have to drop drastically, maybe by half, to entice people to stay. Even then I don’t think many will as they will be easy to get even if we do go straight up so there’s no rea...

My son was at Cambridge and used to see Seagull cycling round the place in his West Ham shirt.

Quite a character evidently.

Pardew for us just before he was sacked? Pardew's last three were 0-2, 0-2, 0-4. Curbishley did manage the ignominy of 0-4, 0-4, 0-4 in March 2008 but was only 3 down inside an hour in one of those (Chelsea). Ironic that the first side anyone thought of that might have achieved the feat before was....

Question i've asked on Twitter, maybe someone knows the answer here.

Has any other PL side ever been 0-3 down within an hour in three consecutive league matches ?

With regard to our successful pass rate, I reckon a high percentage are between Diop and Ogbonna across our back line. Drives me mad it happens so often. Same. We seem incapable of going from right to left or left to right without making at least 3 passes along our back line. By the time we have mo...

Sadly mate, it was auctioned off like the rest of our heritage by the three clowns.

Ogbonna, Fab and Rice are the only ones who weren't awful. Snodgrass is done as a winger. Has no invention or trickery in him. Lanzini isn't a winger. Perez isn't worth my time. Hernandez isn't going to make his own chances. Diop isn't good in the air. Obiang isn't in Noble's league. 100% agree Wil...

Fun times.

Amended slightly for you.

HAVE SOME PRIDE FFS

You'd think we had enough players that don't want to be at the club already !

We are scheduled to set off by car at 3pm from Bury St Edmunds but am really worried about the weather. Snow and freezing conditions expected from around rush hour time but what if it isn't that bad and we actually get there...? Pessimist, moi? Same conundrum!!! (I'm only a few miles from you near ...

Same for me.

That night at Elland Road was very very special.

Anyone dislike Howe? Can’t stand the bloke. He could be your best man and he’d definitely finger your missus at your wedding. I know where you're coming from. Eddie Howe is very smart at coming across as a very polite friendly bloke and cultivates the 'little old Bournemouth' image to his/their adv...

Only seen MoTD highlights, Anderson looked awesome he played some terrific balls, Chicarito took his goals well but could have had more, loved Diop overlapping Anderson to get into their box :D Good win and good performance Must have been a Geordie doing the editing on MOTD, didn't reflect the game...
