Cole Palmer had played less than 500 minutes of football by the time he was 21. He must be shit now, eh? All those years of development lost.   You would hardly know who the guy was if he didn’t make the jump to Chelsea to get more …. MINUTES IN 1st team PL football! ffs.. you make my point for me ...

It's not even true. The protests began in the Wimbledon home game, after which we won the next 2 games. We had only won 4 of the previous 24 games that season. After the pitch invasion at Everton we were already 2nd from bottom. It was likely we'd have been relegated whatever, but in any case, blami...

Bilic was the one who introduced Rice to the team and played him at DM a handful of times. Moyes played him as a CB, but only when he used a back 3. Pellegrini used him as a DM but only made him a starter a few games in to the season when Wheelchair Wilshere got injured. The idea that he would have ...

A Guardian journalist who covers Palace says that the reason Igor Julio didn't go there was due to an issue with his medical. If true you have to wonder what kind of medicals we actually do at our club. Do we just count the number of hands and feet or what?

That's proper wound you up 😂 Don't take it too seriously, son. Even I'm wrong sometimes. LOL. You're the one who dragged up a conversation from 6 weeks ago, Dreerie son. You know, you've become as obsessed with our defenders as Sir Alf with our midfield. It's very boring. Still, at least you have a...

Aguerd didn't have an injury. He had the flu, which a lot of people get in December. It doesn't last for weeks, so yeah, he made a "miraculous" recovery. FLU again? I doubt it. Not sure why you're bringing it up, except as a desperate embarrassing attempt to prove you were right all along.

We were fucking shite for the first 80 minutes.   Bollocks.  It was a textbook away performance. Looked good at the back for a change, and looked the much more likely to score throughout the game. And eventually did. I guarantee you wouldn't have said that if we hadn't won, as looked likely until a...

Great to get a win, but some people here are going way over the top that there's some kind of renaissance here. We were fucking shite for the first 80 minutes. The only good we've seen from Potter has been the first 45 vs Fulham on his debut and the last 10+ today: ie Summerville's only time on the ...

He's wasting Fernandes out wide. Should take off JWP,  put AWB and KWP as the full backs and push Diouf up at LW. He won't though.

All any opposition manager needs to say is: keep it tight at the back, watch out for Bowen, hit them on the break. When you do counter attack, do it in numbers, because a) they won't press you until you're well in their half and b) even if they regain possession they take so long progressing the bal...

It's not like he said that about managing a bottom English club because he wants a new challenge. He just said it as he's fed up with the referees in UEFA competitions not giving decisions his way. Do you really want a manager who DOESN'T want us to get into Europe? Some of you need a word with your...

Sully ain't shy about hiring foreigners. Or firing them either. British managers have been given far longer in charge and in all cases too much longer, I'd say. Moyes & Allardyce because of the deathly dull football and Potter because, well, he was utter shit on every level last season and he wa...

For those wondering about what this guy brings, a good article analysing him on the offical site: https://www.whufc.com/news/clearly-special-talent-mateus-fernandes-analysed All them stats give an indication of his potential but doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be allowed to bring it, even if he...

Sully declared himself defacto director of football months ago when we binned off Steidten...getting these deals done has been his responsibility since then. Macaulay is essentially head of talent identification. If deals are for players we've identified for months and are only just getting done, t...

Leave it out you melts, I only come on this thread for the scoops.

Ffs, I've Logged in to see transfer news and everyone is doing Cornet puns.. 

Sullivan is not a majority shareholder any more. He may be the major shareholder but that is not the same thing at all. Kretinsky & Gold could oust Sullivan from his role as CEO/DoF whenever they want, as together they own 52% of the club. They all share the blame if they let things go to shit, ...

There's a clear message to be gleaned from this.

Guns don't kill people. Trannies kill people. 

Of the managers currently out of work the number 1 choice for me would be Marco Rose, ex of Leipzig and Dortmund. Mentored by Klopp, he adopts a similar style of play: press hard and high, and use an attacking, quick, forward-moving style when in possession. It's completely the opposite of Potter an...

He's been called up to the Denmark squad pretty much every time for the last 2-3 years, without ever getting a game. I doubt he will this time either.

When you look at Potter's actual record it Brighton...pretty reading it does not make. Season 1....41 points, 39 goals.  Season 2...41 points, 40 goals Season 3....6 games....departs for Chelsea.   I'm sure it's not deliberate but you seem to have missed out his one actually decent season at Bright...

About the only possible positive spin I can put on things is looking at Szczesny last year. He went to Barcelona having retired, with no training all summer and not having played for months and he was absolute gash in his early games there, getting sent off vs Real Madrid, letting in 4 vs Benfica, e...

I would have taken him like a shot if we'd sacked Potter in June and given Ange a pre-season and involvement in transfer decisions, which is what we should have done. I'd still take him now to be honest, although it would make things more difficult, he's still a better option than most of the out of...
